The man who created the underground drug-selling website Silk Road was sentenced to life in prison.
US District Judge Katherine Forrest cited six deaths from drugs bought on Ross Ulbricht’s site and five people he tried to have killed.
She told the 31-year-old from San Francisco he was a criminal even though he does not fit the typical profile – he has two college degrees – and brushed aside his efforts to characterise the business as merely a big mistake.
“It was a carefully planned life’s work. It was your opus,” she said. “You are no better a person than any other drug dealer.”
