Cyph3rp9nk (nprofile…jqhu) Fact check: they went after the silk road for sale of drugs

quoting nevent1q…s79n

Do you think the state went after Silk Road for selling drugs?

No, it went after Silk Road because it was a truly free market, far from the collecting hand of the state, the sale of drugs was just a consequence of being a free market and anonymous.

The message of Silk Road was very powerful and dangerous for the state, we haven't had anything like it anymore.

The conviction against Ross Ulbricht is exemplary, to cause fear and to serve as an example.
