They were wrong about Ross (Ulbricht)

Uncageable

From the light of freedom to a concrete tomb,
The fall was great and swift.
My soul cried out in a mighty boom,
How could it come to this?

Clamped down, trapped stuck,
Paralyzed in a tiny cage.
Had fate left me not a drop of luck?
Was there reason for this rage?

Told to lay down and die,
Something deep inside me stirred.
I can’t be caged I have to fly!
Not yet am I interred.

They can take my body, tie me down,
It matters not a bit.
My spirit still runs wild and free,
So in freedom here I sit.

Powerful drawing by Ross Ulbricht. Made from his cell during his seventh year in prison.

Free Ross

Ross Ulbricht, the recently pardoned Silk Road founder and hirer of multiple contract killers, is launching a crypto startup... and of course crypto ghouls like #MarcAndreessen (#a16z) and #Paradigm want a piece of the action.

BREAKING: Ross Ulbricht is said to be in market raising for a new crypto startup. VCs like a16z and Paradigm are circling, citing Ross’ killer mentality and track record as reasons the initial valuation could stretch to $1B+ Wow

Interesting tidbit about the Libertarian Party framing Ulbricht as a victim of the same system as Trump to help secure a pardon:

"At the meeting, Ms. McArdle told Mr. Trump that Mr. Ulbricht was the victim of prosecutorial overreach and a biased criminal justice system, echoing complaints that the former president had made since leaving office.

“It’s the same court stuff in New York that has been giving you a hard time,” she said she told him."

Crypto scammers may try to draw Ross Ulbricht in to their schemes to advertise their scams, then rug pull and try to pin it on Ross. They would love to use his notoriety to attract victims. I wonder if he is careful and wise to this sentiment.

If I were in Ross's shoes, I wouldn't touch the crypto-currency scene with a ten-foot pole and I would have no contact with the personalities in that scene. There are a lot of criminals and frauds there, lots of ongoing prosecutions, and anyone involved could be used as a patsy or stool pigeon without a moment of warning.
