I’m generally opposed to severe non-violent prison time, but it seems like consensus is that Ross’ sentence was disproportionately harsh and #FreeRoss day 1 is obviously the right thing.
I’m skeptical.
Similar cases (e.g., Le Roux) have received comparable sentences (life without parole). Reducing or going straight to parole might make sense, but a free pass based on time served might be an overcorrection.
Bitcoiners argue he advanced BTC viability and he’s a hero for this, which I don’t disagree with, but these contributions don’t erase wrongdoing in the eyes of the law.
Thoughts??
