Silk Road Mastermind Ross Ulbricht
Sentenced to Life in Prison
by Julianne Pepitone
Ross Ulbricht, the convicted operator of the underground online
black market Silk Road, was sentenced Friday to life in prison,
according to WNBC.
That was the maximum sentence Ulbricht faced for
seven federal convictions including narcotics trafficking, computer
hacking, running a criminal enterprise and money laundering.
Ulbricht, 31, had been convicted
in February 2015 on all counts he faced for his role in operating Silk
Road -- and facilitating what investigators say totaled more than $200
million in anonymous online drug sales using the digital currency
bitcoin. The New York City jury of six men and six women took only a few
hours to deliberate and convict Ulbricht on all charges.
