re: Founder of the Silk Road drug marketplace has been sentenced to life in prison

I'm obviously biased because of what I do, but I think it's pathetic how the government treats anyone in the tech industry who doesn't play along. Sure, the guy was a drug kingpin in essence, but those guys don't get life in prison, especially if pushing is all they've done.

They've always done this, too. Edward Snowden can't even come back to the States, and he did something that was great for the American people. I think it's just fear of someone being able to hold them accountable for the shite they used to be able to hide and bury.
