 I think you need to do more reading on this.  
 How much more reading can I do? I fully believed he was some innocent hacker like Aaron Swartz until I actually started reading. I already read everything. He hired hitmen to kill 5 people. The Bitcoin community is retarded for martyring him. He is like the George Floyd of Bitcoin but 10x worse. Or what, it's a conspiracy? They just made all that up to frame him? Right, the drug guy running the illegal trafficking website would never step into any moral gray areas... the problem is that people don't read. 
 of course it is a conspiracy, you think the police never lies?

also what is the max jail time for attempting to hire a hitman but failing? definitely not 50 years

do you think george floyd deserved dying or life in prison too? 
 what did you read? that US government press release? 

read more, 
but with all respect that post there sounds like it’s useless to have a decent conversation with you on that topic. 
 and btw. it’s mainly about the amount of the sentence. compare that to other, even related crimes.

and for example read the murder for hire case. no murder happened. much of the evidence is questionable and not a full proof. and then compare that to other sentences. 

Not even Ross says he is an “innocent hacker”.  
I really think you should do more reading before you make such broad comments and also don’t bring a reference to Aron or such in here.  
 He should sue the hitmen for fraud then since they didn't complete the job he paid for?

I knew nothing about this, but watching the argument go from, he did nothing to he got too long a sentence is a trip, that's for sure.  
 I posted 2 articles. You posted nothing. 
 > Or what, it's a conspiracy? They just made all that up to frame him?

Yes Alex, that’s exactly what they did.

He threatened their hegemony on the drug trade. When you threaten the power of three letter agencies they go HARD.

They made up sexual assault allegations against Assange and plotted to kill him.

They went after Snowden but he got out of their reach before they could have any effect.

They go after anyone who has threatened their power either by whistleblowing or through systems they couldn’t coercively control.

That’s what they do. They leverage the captured media to seed and repeat their narratives and normies gobble it up.

You don’t seem to understand how evil these people are? 
 hiring a hitman to protect user data lol.  let this kid out. 
 You could begin by reading your own post

 So the FBI made all this up about him to frame him, and then investigated it conceded they don't actually have any evidence of it? Makes perfect sense.

Y'all take the position that the extremely detailed and lengthy transcript is made up fan faction by a government worker. I think that's a huge leap, and people are doing way too much twisting into mental knots just so they can feel that Libertarian Man is truly victimized.
