I have to say… even with the Elon influence, I didn’t see that one coming. Ulbricht stole capital from the rich and enabled stuff including human trafficking considered evil by the religious right. But I guess he also stuck it to The Man, for which he is being rewarded.

He's also partially responsible for why cryptocurrency has any worth at all.

Human trafficking is considered evil by everyone unless you're a pedo/psychopath
