Who Deserves This? (2018)
Just in case any of you are wondering who Ross is ...<p>He created the Silk Road, a popular online exchange for illegal drugs, and prosecutors alleged that he paid $730K to try to kill six people.  (He was not, however, charged with attempted murder.  Instead, he was charged and convicted of money laundering and drug offenses.)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ross_Ulbricht" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Ross_Ulbricht</a><p>EDIT: I just want to make completely clear that I didn&#x27;t post this info in an effort to discredit his essay&#x27;s argument, which is that the U.S. prison system is in need of drastic reform.  I agree wholeheartedly with that.  I just wanted to give some context, because I didn&#x27;t know who he was, and the &quot;Who is Ross?&quot; section of the freeross.org site makes it seem like he&#x27;s an angelic Boy Scout philanthropist sweetheart.
