And now he'll be living in prison. Though in fairness, the US would've probably extradited him from wherever he was worldwide anyway.



They're trying to extradite Snowden from Russia but Russia says, "Too bad we don't have an extradition treaty".

There are plenty of countries that would scoff at extraditing him for this simple fact of not having a treaty. Even countries that we do have a treaty with would've locked up extradition in the courts for years because he's facing life imprisonment for making a website and a bunch of other garbage they found on his servers:

If convicted, Ulbricht could be sentenced to life in prison.

They're also charging him with paying to have someone killed merely based on chat logs. They even said there's no evidence anyone was killed or frankly any evidence at all other than the chat logs.


We charge people all the time for soliciting murder, he asked to have someone murdered, paid the money to get the person murdered, and requested photos of the bodies after the deeds were done. Bitcoin transactions can be publicly viewed and the transaction he made to the Canadian leakers apparent connection to have the leaker killed was made and confirmed. Also he received what he believed to be a photo of the victims corpse and thanked the person. The same bitcoin confirmation, photo conformation, and thanks was also done in the fake hit that the FBI set up around a former friend of DPR who stole a bunch of coke or something. DPR should and will be charged for both of these and many solicitors of murder have been charged for much much less.

Let me translate that Russian for you: "We'll trade you Snowden for Poteyev."
