Cornelis Jan Slomp, the Dutchman who became the biggest seller of illegal drugs on the so-called Deep Web marketplace Silk Road, was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Thursday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Slomp sold MDMA, ecstasy, cocaine, benzodiazepine, amphetamine, LSD, and marijuana in vast quantities on Silk Road, working from his home in Holland and using the account name SuperTrips.

It said he received 385,000 bitcoins for his drugs, worth about $170 million (£111 million). That's higher than any other seller on Silk Road.

The man behind SuperTrips pleaded guilty to selling drugs in 2014, accepting a plea agreement for a more lenient sentence than the maximum of 40 years he could have faced, the Chicago Tribune reported. He told US prosecutors he was prepared to testify against alleged Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht, but ultimately he was not called as a witness.

Ulbricht is due to be sentenced later today.
 
£111,000,000 for 10 years in the nick?
For £11,000,000 a year I'd make home in Strangeways, gladly.

I actually have no clue how cryptocurrencies are affected by the POCA so I must ask; if the currency is still in BTC-form, is it seizable by authorities in the same way cash and other assets are? Or is his money safe (or as safe as the darknet economy allows) aside from fluctuations in the conversion rate?

Well, that may depend on whether the DEA got their first.

Two former US special agents have been charged with stealing large amounts of digital currency while investigating the notorious Silk Road marketplace.

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) alleges that Shaun Bridges stole more than $800,000 (£540,000) in Bitcoin.

His colleague, Carl Force, has also been charged with money laundering and wire fraud.

He will be serving in an American prison and not in The Netherlands
 
Shocking!! Pedophiles & rapists generally don't get anywhere near that!! :?
 
The nearest a pedophile usually gets to a life sentence is dishing them out.

Poor kids. Neither of them look like they're going to be able to handle prison. Those sentences are nothing short of sadistic, they went to trial for silk road but they got punished for making the LEA look stupid.


 
Oh well, I'm sure there's plenty of others to step into this guys shoes.

Ummmm drugs are illegal for a reason - they kill people as well as cause people to become addicted. They may have been making money out of vulnerable ppl who are addicted. I don't believe the sentences are harsh. How many deaths n ODs have occurred at the hands of these two? They will be able to have some form iof life that people who died won't have.

Maybe the Tesco execs should also receive life sentences for selling all that Jack Daniels and wine that have led to thousands upon thousands of people losing their lives/health/families/livelihoods, etc. What about the tobacco companies?

(or are legal killer drugs ok?)

You're either incredibly short sighted, or a troll.
