Copy of the charge sheet against 3 silkroad moderators. Almost unbelievable how many charges have been pinned on them, particularly the distribution of "1 kilogram or more of heroin, 5 kilograms or more of cocaine... 500grams or more of methamphetamine...", add onto that charges of hacking, money laundering and it's not looking good for any of them.

The US needs to fuck off with their draconian approach to drugs use, some of it's cities like Chicago have some of the highest drug addiction rates per capita in the developed world, and this is their approach. I can't even really see a good argument as to how these people are involved in the distribution part, even the money laundering seems to be pushing it to make a charge fit.

Shame on the Irish and Aus authorities for agreeing to extradite so easily. Surely as an international drugs market any offences they committed on US soil have also been committed in their home countries too? The silkroad server wasn't even based in the US.. :? 8(

It's sad how many foreign governments tend to bend over and take it up the ass from the the usual US posse of bureaucrats who seriously need a taste of their own medicine.

Kinda wish SR's owner was a Russian national. One of the few countries the US gov knows better than to demand anything from.

God I wish Nixon was never elected as POTUS.

Absolutely and twice ffs, '68 and '72. Wtf were people thinking??? And of course in 1970 he (and congress) blessed us w/ the controlled substances act. Bastards.
Didn't think i'd ever live to see legal mmj or recreational mj become reality but none of what the states have done has changed anything on the federal level. Banks won't open accts for dispensaries due to the feds. Very concerned about who the next POTUS may be and whether the progress that's been made will be quashed.
