Similar Stories to Why The Founder Of Silk Road Got Life In Prison Without Parole on Bing News

On Friday, a judge sentenced the founder of the world's largest online drug marketplace to life in prison without parole, ruling that his website was not harm-reducing but "terribly destructive to our social fabric." Many people, including BI editor-in-chief Henry Blodget, consider the sentence to be absurd. Ross Ulbricht, 31, operated the high-tech drug bazaar Silk Road for nearly three years before it was shut down by FBI agents in 2013.
