Hackers have stolen the online accounts of the family of Ross Ulbricht. Ulbricht is in jail for life pending appeal on the charge of founding and operating the Silk Road dark web marketplace. His mother Lyn Ulbricht has worked tirelessly raising funds to pay for his legal defense and to raise awareness of how the legal issues facing her son affect the rights of everyone. Now hackers have compromised the Free Ross email addresses, phone numbers, social media accounts, paypal account, and bitcoin account.

There are few details available at this time but obviously do not donate to the Free Ross effort at this time until new accounts are established and the whole story is available.

    I'm not seeing the huge moral issue with selling drugs. It's certainly less bad than killing puppies.

    Including put out hits on a few people if I remember correctly. The site by itself might have gotten him obscene jail sentences before trial, but it was a number of the later charges that got him the life imprisonment verdict.

      It's all faked and unproveable and wasn't even entered into evidence at trial.

          The kind that thinks unsubstantiated allegations about murder for hire is informative.
