#Freeross #RossUlbricht #WaronDrugs
Thanks Roger for using your platform for good!
Those overdoses were great!
Michael Lujan Drug addicts would buy drugs either way, Ross provided a safer method for addicts to obtain their fixes. He was the creator of the marketplace, not the supplier of drugs.
@@bobkmak3470 He actually personally arranged many deals on silk road. Yes he is directly responsible for arranging deals that ended in 6 confirmed overdoses. These families were given the ability to speak during sentencing. This definitely had a big effect on the jury.
The only discrepancy I can think of which is why Ross won’t get pardoned is the part where he put out hits for 6 different people, even if none of them were carried out and some of those hits were on fake people, he still attempted several times to end the lives of others to further his own agenda (whether that’s for the overall well-being of humanity or not).
@@teddydavid1026 Geez, 4 years ago I hardly remember writing this comment, but I assume I was just going off the info in this video. Not claiming to have proof of anything! XD
You were wrong. He is a free man
@@packageism more power to him 🤷♂️
Please support Ross and sign the petition at freeross.org if you haven't done so already. Thank you
Please add the link to the actual description of the video.
Free Ross! You will not be forgotten brother!
Hugo Viegas Roger?😂
I just read a book about him. Free Ross
Free this man, he is a good man💗
I.C. M. The guy was a fucking idiot for someone that did what he did. He literally kept a diary of his operations on his OWN computer. The guy paid $700,000 to “hit men” to murder certain people. Dumbass got scammed, glad he gets to rot in prison for the rest of his life
@@NovaNTS Yeah he tried to have people killed. Why is he a hero to so many?
Now ross can help you. Best of luck roger
Jesus... the suffering is for real, poor guy same can happend to julian assange if he dosen't run from the CIA and the FBI
Just on the news today. They want him extradited to face 170 years in prison. FUCK NWO
Assange is CONTROLLED opposition
Free Ross! No victim no crime.
There are risks in making drug dealing more accessible.
@@giak7525 Yup you bring crypto into the dark markets and you get all manner of ill shit. This points out the problem with the mentality. Same reason I lock my door. Keep honest people honest.
Honestly, you don't need cryptos to access or enable all the stuff listed above. On the contrary, all of this has been going on since the dawn of human history, doesn't matter if you pay with a dagger to the throat, a metal coin or a digital code. "War on drugs" is a failure, and continuing to fight it wont make pedophilia or sex trafficking (murder?!??) disappear.
If you really want to combat those things, start dismantling institutions like the church or the majority of national states, who are the real enablers of the majority of shit that is going down on this planet.
@@mfhex1398 So we should give them a forum that they can call their own and end up with silk road?
or MAYBE stop trying to regulate everything - people will find ways to get what they want, taking down silk road didnt help a single person on this planet. children still get raped, poor people still get killed over their organs, harmless humans will still buy drugs to make their miserable lives better - if you think that taking down one market will help regulate that in any way, you underestimate human determination. The root of all these problems is not the framework some dude created in his basement! @@@mikelujanable /edit also, people will create their forums for themselves, takes a second to find millions of hours of videomaterial that is very close to child pornography/abuse on youtube. I don't see a debate about shutting youtube down...
He’s never getting out man.... sucks but it’s reality. And wtf roger? You can’t even take the time to write the dude back? You got no idea how bad it sucks to have to sit in prison and reach out to people with no response back, feels like the whole worlds turned against you and nobody gives a flying fuck if you live or die. Silk Road changed my life, for the worst at first due to the jail time I received... but eventually for the better. Jail made me become a better person. Thanks Ross 🙏
I mean, except for those 3 hits he put on peoples heads, great guy.
Not enough evidence of that to even charge him with it. Only found guilty of non violent offenses. Punishment doesnt fit the crime, look into the others that received far less punishment.
@@tomhora9614 Is there not legitimate transcripts written by him, taken from his computer, showing that he tried to have 3 people killed? I don't think anyone ended up actually being killed in the end, but he still wrote the words is all I'm saying.
@@zerofriends6 there is evidence that others used his account and corrupt agents who are now in prison were involved in the case. From what I understand ross is a decent person. Whether he is or isn't doesnt matter. The fact that he got 2 life sentences plus 40 years for non violent offenses is a miscarriage of justice especially when comparing to murderers and rapists who are set free and/or have an opportunity for parole.
@@tomhora9614 Yeah, you have a point, the punishment definitely doesn't fit the crime.
@@tomhora9614 yeah, or at least harsher punishments for those other kinds. Just do not know what is worse than life in prison without parole.
Dude looked quite young, 10 years tops.
You are 100% correct. Thank you for being one of the few popular people who stand up for the original principles of crypro-currency. It is not just about economic freedom, but also the freedom to do what you want with your own body, so long as you're not harming anyone else. More people need to be brave and stand up against locking non-violent people in cages. This will be looked back on as a barbaric tradition and those who stayed quiet during this time will be seen as shameful cowards.
bruh he ordered hits
#FreeRoss indeed! #FreeRossPetition
This is great, I have been working on the Free Ross issue since I heard about it 2 yrs ago. I have some things in the works related to this petition, the pardon and the rest --- Thanks for this Roger. Keep up your good work. Have a good 2019 my friend.
I feel so bad for this guy. He was thrown under the bus by our own judicial system, even the supreme court.
#freeross
Free all drug dealers then free all murderers then just empty out all the prisons. Fire all the police for a great society. FREEDOM FOR ALL, LIFE FOR KNOW ONE.
The government hate Ross because he gave Bitcoin value , it’s about time they let him out . Without many people shouting his message to be free, sadly I think they will leave him to serve the full scentence
Ross is free. Roger will be free soon.
Im all for his freedom and what he was doing and what he made through and through but by crossing the line thinking multiple were killed over money (Something he and his family said he didn't or doesn't care about) is wrong man. I think the power got to him and I know power can make people do crazy things. Do i think he should be free and given another chance 10000% BUT he isn't truly innocent... but shit Who is right?!?!?
Thank you, Roger. That was heart breaking to watch. I can't believe he's spending yet another New Year's inside that hell-hole. For running a website that let people engage in voluntary trade.
Ulbricht was convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics by means of the Internet in February 2015. He is currently serving a double life sentence plus forty years without the possibility of parole.
Yes children could buy anything they want. If your son or daughter ended up dead would you say “oh they were just pursuing happiness. It’s their right.”
The war on drugs was a failure but this system was not the solution.
@@JG-vc5lg so?
@@JMT34237 sure it was it ended the violence and the sale of dangerous products
@@joshualocicero6799 What ended the violence and the sale of dangerous products?
Great video Roger! Thanks for all you do to help make the world a better place .
Man. A presidential pardon. I feel so bad for Ross. Of course, though, they made an example out of him, or tried. Threw the book at him. He was sincerely just trying to make the world a better place, as well as make a political point, and I can't tell which sin among those two things is more egregious in their eyes. I am sincerely hoping for the best that it happens but I'm really sorry to say I don't think it ever will.
How can he have a girlfriend when he's in prison permanently
I ask the same, what?
A lot of lifers have steady girlfriends, more than you think. Bitches be crazy yo
probably not a bad dude and shes in love with him?
He was in a relationship with Julia who wanted to get married with him. After he got arrested, Julia moved on and broke up with him. Caroline was Ross's former girlfriend in highschool. It seems they got back together while at prison. I guess Caroline was hopeful at getting back with Ross once he gets a pardon while Ross was desperate for a fiance now that his would have been fiance Julia was gone. In an interview with Rene that you can watch. Ross mentions how he had a bad s3x experience with Caroline who took his v!rginity. The only reason I can think of as to why Ross would get back with Caroline is that Caroline never got over Ross while Ross is desperate for a new relationship when his serious relationship with Julia was over.
@@marcuscarana9240 Interesting. Makes sense when I think about it more a lot of women like men in prison because they get total devotion and they're also safe. They know where their man is at all times. 😂
FREE ROSS, GOD SPEED
People love to hate Roger. Here we see his true colours. If you have not signed it, please go and do it.
I spoke with Ross mom and she is an amazing women. Ross your not forgotten brother!
Well done Roger. Ross needs and deserves all the help he can get.
He deserves to rot in jail for putting "hits" on people.
Roger we love you! Come back to Bitcoin!
He never left. Bitcoin.com supports both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash.
No we don’t need a scammer. Satoshi himself wrote bitcoin.com has nothing to do with bitcoin (read bitcointalk). He tries to steal btc and make it a brand with his shitty bcash. He is the cancer. He should be in jail
@@manzunis You're the cancer
Steven Steve Steven yeah you sockpuppet im a big influencer you must be right
Fuck no, stay away from bitcoin.
Sorry but can anybody explain why there is such a large community of people defending this monster that sold drugs and weapons/ hired killers to protect his identity? I'm honestly sorry how someone would defend a horrible cirminal like that.
Nobody forced anyone to buy the drugs. Weapons could of been bought in many places before the silk road was a thing. I agree tho, hiring hits on people was messed up but I can't imagine what would be racing through your head running a multi million drug empire. So much paranoia
Because it fits their conspiracy mindset, their misapplied libertarianism, and their desire to appear something akin to 'cool'. Because they can't tell a capitalist from an anarchist, or even from a libertarian. Because they think government bad so Ross good, drugs good so Ross good, simple as. Yet they accuse the likes of us of ignorance. I think you can like drugs, sympathise with libertarianism and be suspicious of government without championing this dodgy shyster.
@@technovikingsnephew8833 but by your own logic 'nobody forced anyone' to run a 'multi million drug empire'. You kind of sound like your saying the pressures of being a druglord make planning murder comprehensible, though not sure was intention.
Probably because his sentence was too harsh. I think that 5 years would be good enough. But not 40.
@@Cartiisthegoat29 he hired hitmen on people. That's attempted murder. 5 years would be ridiculous for that.
Don't worry Roger no one is surprised you are alone for the holidays.
Sad that his skills and talents are going to waste. I would have allow him to make amends and in return for leniency have him put his skills to work for the government like in the tv series "white collar."
We could raise enough in bitcoin to pay for the wall on the condition that ross be freed, maybe that would get Trump’s attention
Great Idea-as long as the wall gets built!
ridiculous. why do you care about a serious criminal but not about mexican children?
@@robertjohnson1647 you’re in the wrong video it seems. Also wanting a wall built doesn’t = disdain for mexicans, or their children
I can't understand Americans at all. This country is struggling with drug addiction and homelessness, yet there are calls to free someone who is making this situation much worse. The amount of suffering he caused for the families of those who consumed his products warrants a life-long prison sentence, at the very least.
Yup sign that petition!!
okay a life sentence is maybe a bit to harsh, but i dunno how people dont realize HE IS GUILTY period. Maybe if he was in Europe instead of US the sentence wouldnt be such as it is but lets be honest, Ross is no angel and def doesnt deserve walking around free just yet. He had the change to take 10year to life and he would probably get paroled sooner. But he went go to court with shit loads of evidence against him and thought what? Hes gonna fool someone? the "hacker" put DPR on his computer while sitting in the library, what his lawyer says, ok LOL so the hacker just dumped at the time +100M $ as well, so ross could look more guilty? Gimme a break, not to mention the potential for blockchain tech... And this mofo goes and sells drugs... smh
People, don't take the number of thumbs and views as a reference. The game is rigged! Especially when it comes to crypto.
hi Ross. We speak a long time ago! the police and the carabinieri are killing me with radiation.
I'm from Italy.
Freeross.org add it to description plz
Why would you support Ross? It has been proven in court that he was a lawless criminal. He thought he commited 6 murders. He ran a billion dollar drug empire. He also sold guns to anyone who had bitcoin....this guy would have you killed if you disagreed. He is where he belongs.
The state don't like it when you make them look bad.
In seeking a commutation or pardon from T rump, the emphasis should be on the Senator Schumer factor in the persecution of Ross.
Free Ross Ulbritch
Swap Ross for Roger!
I forwarded to friends and supporters ... No petitions for me though ... I suggest, it's not possible to stand up to the State begging for forgiveness ... That's the only reason these 'pardons' exist ...
Isn't is mind-blowing that the government can tell you what you can and cannot put into your own body? An unbelievable concept to try to wrap your mind around.
It is really disgusting that Ross Ulbricht is serving a life sentence in prison. This is an example of why I have long advocated that libertarians ought to be far more vocal about promoting jury nullification of victimless crimes. If the right of jury nullification was common knowledge among the population, Ross would not be in prison right now.
I don't see what is so funny about this. A crime needs to have a victim, and the victim has to suffer damages. If there's no victim and no damages (as in no violation of person or property), then there is no crime.
He didn't get pardoned. We can assume everyone has moved on from this, but checks in from time to time. Maybe a future President who is Pro-Crypto would pardon Ross Ulbricht but that would at least be for another 7 years. The issue is when all the other non-violent drug offenders get released, not all of them have the resources to make it in the world and probably seek to get high off over the counters. Some could eventually become violent offenders even though normal people are becoming violent offenders day after day..
Impressive, Sir.
Let Ross go!! He is a brilliant man whom I don't know except from what happened when he was arrested and was done completely wrong totally from the beginning with the FBI, how he was caught, arrested and jailed then railroaded in court.
Signed the petition
Just watched the movie. Shit was totally entrapment. Our justice system is a fucking joke.
Roger, I too have done Federal time, Morgantown FCI for 38 months. Was nothing like where Ross is at and certainly not the time. Anyways, my point here is that a revisit to the mandatory sentence guidelines and drug equivalency charts needs to be done ASAP. To say that every non violent drug offenders need pardoned is a very bold, unpractical and nonsense request. A focus on Ross is needed here and the gross misuse of justice.
Thanks Roger 🙏
Did he not order the hit of 4 ppl to silence them ? Even if he was scammed. He wanted ppl dead to protect his enterprise , money and power. Sorry guy doesn't need my sympathy.
Support for ross
It’s very unlikely Donald Trump would pardon him and impossible that Joe Biden would. Your best hope is getting to Trump now
This is an unbelievable story ..how Ross got such a long sentence plus a fool can see he has been set up by corrupt cops ..free Ross needs to get stronger a movement ECT.....
Thank you Roger, much respect for you!
FREE ROSS!!!
This is a very interesting perspective. At the very least rehab should be the default as putting peaceful people in a violent environment just sounds morally wrong.
He’s free
Thank you Roger well said
this is not how you pronounce Ulbricht though..
Yes Roger, I'm sure the whole world will release their none violent drug offenders now the great one has spoken.
How's that guy getting on who's personal information you published online because he didn't pay back the $50 worth of bitcoins YOU mistakingly SENT HIM?
Selling your integrity for $50!
Misusing company records to publish someone's personal information!
Where's your professionalism dude?
$50?
Please help this man
Free Ross! From Brazil
Free Ross!
#FreeRoss
a letter from Ulbricht to Trump
Blessings upon all nonviolent offenders in the US from YHWH. We are in HIS kingdom. May Ross and his mother also receive blessings.
See the 6 part "railroaded" youtube series to learn how he got no "justice" from our legal system.
Roger Ver a lot of people hate on you and I may not be a fan of Bitcoin Cash, but when you speak I cannot argue about much of what you say. You are a true believer in human freedom and I respect your hard work to try and achieve just that.
People, he was no angel he tried to have people killed! stop acting like he was just a free spirit that wanted a free market place.
Roger, stop defrauding people.
Everyone has the right to their opinion, I do not agree with yours about that drug use should not be restricted. - And I think it is wrong to use official Bitcoin.com channels to promote such things.
I am also on the side of what you are saying about freedom and how drugs policy should be. Correct me if I am wrong but did Ross not make it able on Silk Road to hire hitmen and/or sell weapons? This is different kind of topic imo.
Da Dipsaus I agree
Free Ross! - Brazil
ty roger
i just bought a bch at coinbase and i will hold it till 2020 same date.
nice gesture from your side.
AT LAST, ROGER SPEAKS SOME KIND OF SENSE
Thanks for sharing Roger.
My insurance expired and the cops said what about OTHER drivers, interesting point. Scammers pretending to be you on Facebook btw
I don't think Trump will pardon him, not until his next term if he does.
He was shaking....
BCH ❤
Thats so hard to read. It brought a tear to my eye. I know what it feels like to be in prison. It feels like I was able to absorb his desperation and hope when you read that letter.
fast forward to 2025 - Ross Ulbricht reads a letter from Roger Ver from prison
HELP US JESUS!!!!
ASK SOME GUIDANCE TO CHARLES HOSKINSON OR JEFF EPSTEIN!!!
Yea I mean why the fck can’t ppl get loaded and drive? It’s not like it puts anyone else in danger. Oh Wait... it’s not like anyone was killed by someone loaded on drugs.. OH wait. Recently a guy in New Orleans was loaded and crossed lanes into oncoming traffic when a motorcycle smashed into the side of the car going 60mph. He died, but it’s fine because Roger thinks we should be able to do drugs. Oh I’m sure he says they shouldn’t be driving.. yea he wouldn’t have if ppl didn’t do stupid shit but turns out they do.. especially when loaded on drugs.
But don’t worry.. the loaded driver lived and is in jail, get trump to release him since he just wants to be free and hit up drugs because it doesn’t harm anyone else... OH..Wait.
I'm all for freeing non-violent drug offenders.... I'm for freeing all drug offenders, actually. However, I remember reading, in the great book written on Ross and SR, that there was some violence involved in his case. He more or less attempted to order a couple of murders. I think he was basically robbed in one instance. In another instance he was duped into believing they(the hitmen) had murdered the target. It was a ruse. Makeup was applied, assassins had lied. Nobody actually died. As far as I can remember anyway. I wasn't actually there. Anyone know the actual facts with these "ordered hits"? Was he charged with these crimes? Did anyone actually die because of any hit(s) he had ordered? My guess is NO.
My god you are so ignorant. Why did you even comment when you have no idea what happened? Do you just like to hear yourself talk so much that you don't even care about the validity of whats comming out of your mouth? I don’t use the word "hate" often , but ,my god, I fucking hate people like you. It takes two seconds to look up the actual facts but instead of taking the time to do you research on the matter you decide to write an entire paragraph that is complety false. Please if your going to comment on something like this just do some reasearch before spreading your false information.
In short he was only charged with nonviolent crimes. Nobody was killed and Ross Ulbricht was never charged with murder ever. There is way more information that illustrates the stupidity and ignorance of your comment but Im goiong to let you be a big boy and take two seconds out of your life to find the facts. Before you speak about somthing read up about it. Especially if it is has somthing to do with court cases beause those things have objective facts they can be easily searched up.
Friend's...
I know you would do the needful. Stupidity & arrogance should be punished.
Love Ver
Looking good Roger ; positivity and peace suit you. I wish you and yours a happy holiday.
Time comes with crime.
Signed it long ago
if he made a percentage from every drug sale then sadly he won't be freed. Otherwise all multi millionair non violent dealers would be. Probably all drugs will be legal in the next 20 years that;s the best chance
Signed.
Is Charles Hoskinson,Ross William Ulbricht?
On what legal basis does Ross believe his convictions and sentences can be over turned?
He's claiming that he was framed by two corrupt agents but his legal team have no evidence that those two agents had anything to do with the creation of silk road and so his appeal was denied.
Free Ross
God bless you Roger in Jesus name.
he will burn in flames
Heavy.
There is no reason for him to be in the adx is he violent thats the only reason anyone should b there for bn violent in prison
