Why? they are fraudsters, which ulrbicht was not. also they have only served a few years

Yea, Ulbricht only tried to have people murdered

That was never proven in a court of law.

Eric Adams had federal charges dropped, even though he’s not even a Republican. Almost as if someone’s building a team…

Also the federal prosecutors investigating him have been out on leave.

Or, the charges are being dropped, a layer appointed by the judge to be a neutral advisor recommended the charges be dismissed with prejudice, and the prosecutors are on leave and being investigated for potential misconduct revealed they may have acted in bad faith:

Perhaps, but it’s funnier to imagine that someone is assembling a comic book-styled initiative of charismatic crooks

Ulbricht had the backing of the libertarians.

i never understood why they backed him though?

Don't libertarians like free markets? Why should the government intrude on contracts for drugs or murder?

The government literally had to show up for the market for murder, with their own offerings, on silk road before they even were able to attempt to litigate it. We need the government so badly, because if a dark market shows up their informants/agents might solicit murder! Completely circular logic the state used in that case.

Many things the administration are doing are gifts to crypto bros and libertarians.
