He looks fairly healthy

is there webcam from his cell?

To prevent Ulbricht from encrypting or deleting data on the laptop he was using to run the site as he was arrested, two agents pretended to be quarreling lovers. When they had sufficiently distracted him,[26] a third agent took his computer away,[27] and inserted a USB flash drive that cloned all the data on the hard drive.

His whole arrest is odd. What led to him being connected to silk road

He used an email attached to his real name on a forum couple of months before silk road asking about setting up an onion website marketplace. Look up the story, they did some proper investigation to find him. I'm surprised it's not a movie yet.

>running website
>on laptop
wtf

>Running a website is literally the same thing as buying or selling drugs
Land of the free, home of the brave

Shouldn't have tried to undercut the DEA niggers

>not encrypting your entire hard drive and having a killswitch pedal that immediately powers off the computer when your foot comes off
He deserved it

im curious about this haxor usb that copied all his shit. was it on windows? was it on linux? makes me think auto mount is a bad idea

It obviously is

obviously windows? or obviously auto mount? i think its a stupid idea to use a drug laptop as your main laptop. same thing happened recently to that beard guy

>Life w/o parole for running a website.
The absolute state of the US "justice" system.

Pretty sure they also got him on attempted murder.

They charged him with 'procuring murder'. The charges were eventually dropped. But yeah, helluva list and sentence just running a website.

There is a movie about it, it's called Deep Web and it's from 2014, I found it fairly good.

No they didn't.

The "reasoning" for life was he allegedly indirectly killed people by selling drugs, or I guess allowing other people to sell drugs.

But let's be realistic they just wanted to make an example out of him.

>But let's be realistic they just wanted to make an example out of him.
Yeah pretty sure the judge even admitted to this.

Job well done, FBI. Cheers for you.
>didn't do nuffin
not at all, no damage done, no sir. Boy just wanted to spread joy and freedom, high ethical standards in everything he did, embodiment of them in fact, amirite

That was a unproven hoax, but was enough to make him look really bad to the judge and in the media.
In my opinion he is not a bad person and he just make that website, because for him, you should be able to buy and sell drugs. And to be resonable people will buy and sell drugs anyways, why not be able to do trade them without getting involved with criminality and dealers that rip you off?
I would never do drugs, but I find it as the ultimate freedom, and he was able to achieve it for everyone with just a website, he was more a genius than a criminal.

Windows doesn't autorun anything on removables since 7 (might have even been disabled in XP SP3 or some update, not sure).

Either they manually ran some exe that was on the drive manually (win-e + two clicks, why not when they already had the laptop in hands), or it was in fact thunderbolt or firewire device, which allow DMA hardware attacks by design.

All libertarians should be jailed.

If he'd used grsec, then automount wouldn't have worked. Laptop security still needs a lot of work, but nowadays iommu is enabled by default -- making DMA attacks harder.

This is so sad.

He just wanted us to be free. It was just an experiment bro. Not a single person died or had their lives ruined by his services

IOMMU protects against DMA attacks on modern machines.

This is why you use cockmail on forums and when you do sketchy shit online damn it

Simpletons

Free the pirate

Why would you take your secret operation laptop to a fucking library? Buy a second laptop and only work from home.

He actually did have high ethical standards. Silk road had no child pornography and no hitmen. It was an idealistic free market. The next guy that fills that power vacuum (if it's not filled already) won't be so scrupulous now that he knows he'll get life in prison anyways.

>Silk road had no child pornography and no hitmen.
>no hitmen
Yeah, to his dismay.

>Why would you take your secret operation laptop to a fucking library? Buy a second laptop and only work from home.

he was at the library to use a public wifi, in a place where he had never been before. It wasn't even the library in his hometown, he was passing through Boston or wherever, and went looking for public wifi connections. Running the site from his home would get him located in a second.

american justice system is weird

Is he actually in ADX? So if you set up a drug-Uber, that gets you into the same prison as a wannabe supervillain?

Nah he's not in the supermax, just another prison in the same complex.

You do realize that is not how it works ?

wtf obviously he was not the guy running silk road it was some IC operation. So who took the fall?

Fucking stupid
Guy deserves to be jailed

y-youre a big goi

Do pedos get life in prison?

so with your narrative, gook moot should be put in jail because some pedo user put cp on Sup Forums? or, how about user is a trendy sjw liberal, and let's his gf's bull borrow his car with his fellow nigger buddies and use it to rob another white cuck. But user goes to jail for the robbery. give me a break.

this sounds exactly like the 'judicial reasoning' the jewbitch judge applied to this case

reminder plenty of drug hookup threads have gone on in Sup Forums

yeah it's fucked up. I feel for the guy.

He deserved it. I guess I feel bad for his mom though.

You're a complete brainlet.

This site isn't an illegal marketplace. Hiro doesn't make money off drug sales. 99.9999% of all posts here are legal. It's a company registered in the US, you can be sure the feds get all IPs of every poster here.


Butters are truely the worst.

>which allow DMA hardware attacks by design
What the hell?

>Running the site from his home would get him located in a second.
How? I thought the point of tor is you can't tell tor users apart and he could even use like a russian proxychain and vpns or whatever on top of that.

you're just a nigger that insults me without actually answering my questions. no logic, just nigger...

tor only protects you so far. You have to be proactive and only use public wifi networks and never for long. Or be 1337 and find a much better way

no, just because he was a programmer doesn't automatically mean he is allowed to profit from the sale of harmful and illegal drugs

...

Oh... Kay.

Running as in running a buisness.

Not even trolling, this guy actively did more good than that traitorous yet sexy wretch Edward Snowden could ever dream of. At least give him a chance of parole eventually.

living the dream starter pack.
also i feel bad for ross.
