ເປັນຫຍັງປະທານາທິບໍດີສະຫະລັດຄົນຕໍ່ໄປຕ້ອງໃຫ້ອະໄພ Bitcoin ໄພໂອເນຍ Ross Ulbricht
The story of Ross Ulbricht is one that has captivated the Bitcoin community for years – a brilliant young mind, an entrepreneur with a passion for free markets, and the creator of the Silk Road, an anonymous e-commerce platform that operated on the fringes of the internet, has now been officially behind bars for 10 years.
To many, it's a miscarriage of justice. Proof that our justice system was caught up in a sensational story. It sought to punish, not find the truth.
Still, Ross Ulbricht's journey from an idealistic 26-year-old to a prisoner serving a double life sentence without parole, plus 40 years, is a stark reminder of the complexities surrounding issues of internet freedom, privacy, and drug policy.
ເລື່ອງຂອງລາວໄດ້ເຮັດໃຫ້ເກີດການໂຕ້ວາທີຢ່າງກະຕືລືລົ້ນກ່ຽວກັບຄວາມຍຸຕິທໍາຂອງປະໂຫຍກຂອງລາວແລະຄວາມຕ້ອງການສໍາລັບການແຊກແຊງຂອງປະທານາທິບໍດີ.
ໃນຂະນະທີ່ສະຫະລັດກະກຽມສໍາລັບຍຸກປະທານາທິບໍດີໃຫມ່, ຄໍາຖາມທີ່ເກີດຂື້ນ: ສຸດທ້າຍປະທານາທິບໍດີສະຫະລັດຄົນຕໍ່ໄປຈະໃຫ້ຄວາມຊົມເຊີຍຕໍ່ Ross Ulbricht ບໍ?
Already, there are positive signs. Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has pledged to consider the case if elected, though he has stopped short of pledging a pardon. Meanwhile, Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican, has posed for photos with a fan wearing a "Free Ross" t-shirt. Both accept Bitcoin donations for their campaign.
Further, in 2020, former President Donald Trump, who is seeking to run for reelection, was considering a pardon for Ulbricht, though it appears at last minute, he decided not to go through with the decision.
The Silk Road, often referred to as the "eBay of drugs," was a platform where consenting users could buy and sell a variety of items, including drugs, as long as no third party was harmed. While legal items were also available, the platform gained notoriety for facilitating illicit transactions, primarily small amounts of marijuana.
Ross Ulbricht ບໍ່ເຄີຍຖືກກ່າວຫາໃນຂໍ້ຫາກໍ່ໃຫ້ເກີດຄວາມເສຍຫາຍ ຫຼືບາດເຈັບທາງຮ່າງກາຍ, ແລະບໍ່ມີຜູ້ເຄາະຮ້າຍໃດຖືກກ່າວຫາໃນການທົດລອງຂອງລາວ. ແທນທີ່ຈະ, ລາວໄດ້ຖືກຕັດສິນລົງໂທດສໍາລັບການສ້າງແລະດໍາເນີນການເວທີ, ບໍ່ແຕກຕ່າງຈາກ Amazon ຫຼື eBay, ເຮັດໃຫ້ລາວເປັນຫນຶ່ງໃນຜູ້ກະທໍາຜິດຄັ້ງທໍາອິດຈໍານວນຫນ້ອຍທີ່ຖືກຕັດສິນໂທດປະຫານຊີວິດໂດຍບໍ່ມີການ parole ສໍາລັບອາຊະຍາກໍາທີ່ບໍ່ຮຸນແຮງ.
The injustice in Ulbricht's case becomes evident when compared to other Silk Road-related sentences. The average prison term for all other defendants connected to the case, including actual drug sellers and those who helped run the platform, is just six years. Most of these individuals are already free today, whereas Ross Ulbricht is condemned to spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Furthermore, the media coverage surrounding Ross Ulbricht's case has often been sensationalized and inaccurate. False, uncharged allegations were introduced during his sentencing, further damaging his reputation.
Ross ຕົນເອງໄດ້ສະແດງຄວາມເສຍໃຈຢ່າງເລິກເຊິ່ງຕໍ່ການກະທໍາຂອງລາວ, ໂດຍກ່າວວ່າການສ້າງເສັ້ນທາງສາຍໄຫມແມ່ນຄວາມຜິດພາດທີ່ຮ້າຍແຮງທີ່ລາວເສຍໃຈຢ່າງເລິກເຊິ່ງ. ລາວໝັ້ນໃຈວ່າລາວບໍ່ເຄີຍມີເຈດຕະນາອັນຕະລາຍ ແລະໄດ້ຮຽນຮູ້ການລະເມີດກົດໝາຍຢ່າງໜັກໜ່ວງ.
ແມ່ຂອງລາວ, ຜູ້ທີ່ໄດ້ຊະນະຄວາມອິດເມື່ອຍຂອງລາວ, Lyn Ulbricht, ຢືນຢັນເຖິງພຶດຕິກໍາທີ່ເປັນຕົວຢ່າງຂອງລາວຢູ່ໃນຄຸກ, ບ່ອນທີ່ລາວໄດ້ສອນ, ນໍາພາຫ້ອງຮຽນ, ແລະໃຫ້ຄໍາແນະນໍາກັບນັກໂທດອື່ນໆໂດຍບໍ່ມີການລົງໂທດທາງວິໄນດຽວ.
ຫຼາຍກວ່າ 300 ບຸກຄົນຜູ້ທີ່ຮູ້ຈັກ Ross ເປັນສ່ວນບຸກຄົນໄດ້ຂຽນປະຈັກພະຍານຢັ້ງຢືນເຖິງລັກສະນະທີ່ດີເລີດຂອງລາວແລະວິທີທີ່ລາວມີຜົນກະທົບທາງບວກຕໍ່ຊີວິດຂອງພວກເຂົາ. ລາວຖືກພັນລະນາວ່າມີຄວາມເມດຕາ, ໃຈດີ, ແລະໃຈກວ້າງ.
The petition for Ross Ulbricht's clemency, started by FreeRoss.org, has garnered significant support. Over 250 organizations, prominent individuals, and leaders have voiced their belief in the injustice of his sentence. They argue that Ross deserves a second chance to reintegrate into society and start a family. Many Bitcoin Magazine readers agree.
However, despite a groundswell of support and a growing consensus that Ross's sentence is unjust, he remains behind bars.
The next US president will face many critical decisions. We hope they will consider sending a message that entrepreneurship, especially done with new technologies like Bitcoin in the spirit of freedom, will be positively encouraged.
