We can all agree that his sentence was by far too hard for a website owner..  as if hes a drug cartel who personally killed people and distributed drugs..  in that case, we can also convict the us gov for printing the money allowing people to buy guns and drugs..

We can simple say the he searched the prison, you can't think to make illegal things for a long time and not be arrested... maybe if you know what you are doing (you can continue for a long time) but it seems that this is not the case.

Yes, it is not a shame... if you make illegal things you will be mostly imprisoned... we are not in an anarchy  .

I think they didn't charge him for the alleged for ordering the hitman..  he also was not the one dealing with the illegal stuff that were sold on the platform.  

And if you really think that he was charged proportionally, how many people do you think went to jail for this act - http://www.bbc.com/news/business-32817114 ?  do you think that was also a fair charge ?

I could hardly condemn a man to life in prison based on "suspicions" of his hiring hit-men.  As you say, he was not found guilty of this.  Ultimately, he was not even charged with this.

You've fallen prey to a well-executed smear campaign.  You're not alone though.  Ross was both denied bail and denied advanced knowledge of those testifying against him based on these rumours.

Life in prison for that, it is disgusting I won't go in to details but there are men who have committed horrific crimes to both women and children. They seem to find the light of day after a few years. BS laws he is so unlucky as he could have left and lived the dream but greediness 

Balls is talking sense.

Blindly following power is a very bad thing but so is blindly opposing it. You are blind either way.

Apparently the logs show RU making shady deals with hitmen. If true then he is clearly a dangerous individual who's sense of power went to his head. We are talking about six people. One of the people was indeed an undercover agent, and if they were "entraping" him; good. This isn't entrapment for prostitution, he was trying to kill somebody.

The judge refered to this evidence as "powerful", not a term judges tend to use unless it is. He apparent was also targeting people living with an enemy. Even the mob don't hit the kids.

Even if RU was just playing with this stuff, he was playing "silly billiles" as we say around my parts.

I dislike all this whataboutery. What about the government doing this or that? What about it? Its a separate issue. Just because the governments crap doesn't mean one can do whatever one wants.

I feel badly for RU and have already told somebody off for mocking the fact he might get raped. However before I can say that his sentace is wrong I need to see how the other charges go. If he tried to have people "whacked" then in jail he belongs, plain and simple.

Governments don't seek justice, individuals do. Governments seek control at the expense of justice.

Yep, this is why all ethical people must seek to abolish government.

I agree. If in USA they sentence for such crime, for life, there is seriously something wrong with their law system.
I never put much interest in what he was accused off, but what i think of he should get max 10 years.
So what get the ones that kill someone by mistake? 10 lives?

We do not have the best law system nor do we have the worst. But I will agree something is wrong with the system. The U.S. has more prisoners than any other nation in the world. This is absurd for a land that claims to be the land of the free. My biggest problem with the system is they charge the prisoner with fines that make no sense. Being charged millions of dollars more than what the individual ever made. They should change the legal system here because it is weighed heavily in the prosecution's favor. They get pretty much unlimited funding and they have been known to withhold evidence. Look at the public defenders, they get huge number of cases and limited funds.
