Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was only 26 when he launched the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury, and no victim was named at trial.
Users of Silk Road chose to exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Anything involuntary or harmful to a third party was strictly prohibited.
Ross was not convicted of selling drugs or illegal items himself but was held responsible for what others sold on the site.
