In this video, Vin Armani discusses the latest on the Silk Road appeal with Lyn Ulbricht, mother of Ross Ulbricht, the original founder of the free market website Silk Road. Lyn also disputes a new book that uses the government narrative to villainize her son as a drug kingpin. She says the true story of the case is far more interesting with corrupt agents inside the site's administration and all of the dangerous precedents the case set.
Really good interview with someone close to the case. Highlights how corrupt the case against Ross truly was and has some good talking points on freedom in our digital age. Makes you angry that a case could be so corrupt and still have a successful conviction, she's right when she says this was all political.
The government just wanted to make an example of him. Little did they know they opened up the flood gates. The War on Drugs is a complete failure.
