Realistically, what would he do if he got out? He won't get hired anywhere, approved on anything, no one's gonna want him around. It's better for his situation to take the longer sentence as it gives him somewhere to stay and something to do for the rest of his life. Freedom means nothing to someone who has nothing to go back to.

Stop trying to portray this guy as an "accidental criminal". He actively made each of these decisions every step of the way. He was not a "boy" he was an adult in his twenties. He had a master's degree. Do not sympathize with this man. You make it sound like it was only drugs being sold on this site with some random assassination attempts... like that's not bad enough on its own. But Silk Road was used for HUMAN TRAFFICKING. He can talk about "wanting to change the world" all he wants, but the reality is he wanted money and power. He wanted to be able to do whatever he wants without consequences, and that's just not how life and society works. He's not a victim. He's a criminal mastermind. Y'all been watching Goodfellas too much and completely missing the point of the story.

Sure, some of the crap out there comes from backyard meth cooks and shit like that- but that'd just on the low end and not really for amounts that would make you lots of money. The REAL manufacturing happens not only in mexico, but in warehouses and labs across America as well. Wanna know why it's called getting geeked?? Because IT nerds and scientist use it a lot, and scientist literally MAKE it. So.....

I am also an Eagle scout, and that quick image blurb showing the ranks of scouting during the into was laughably wrong... it listed the award before Eagle as "Silver Scout". It took me all of 3 seconds to go onto google and search for "boy scout ranks" and... blam! Right there are the ranks, properly labeled and it's associated badge. I think dude somehow mixed up girl scouts and their ranks or awards as they call it. He put "Silver scout", there's no such thing, but the second to the highest award with girl scouts is the "silver award". Petty as hell, but simple shit like this always drives me bonkers.

He did not deserve what he got. Those corrupt cops coerced him into hiring a hit on someone that he wouldn’t have tried to kill otherwise. At worst he deserved 5 to 10 years for setting up a drug market place and selling mushrooms on it but that’s it. Anyone saying “he got a 10 year sentence and didn’t take it” do some research bc the sentence was 10 to life and they were gonna throw the book at him regardless if he took a plea or not went to trail.

​​@@whenimmanicimgodly4228The Scouts is a huge part of the culture of the LDS Church, aka Mormons. Scouting is essentially built into the church, it's a kind of symbiotic relationship. The LDS Church sponsors scout troops, including supplying troop leaders via their semi-volunteer lay clergy system where adults in the ward are "called" to serve in certain positions involved with the running of the church. This means that pretty much every boy/young man in the church is involved in the Scouts. It's viewed as part of their social obligation for the church, as well as a social function and an opportunity for self-improvement. Many young men in the church view receiving their Eagle Scout as basically a pre-requisite or pre-cursor to serving a mission, and a young man becoming an Eagle Scout is viewed as a significant accomplishment/milestone within the ward, similar to how people view their child graduating from High School or receiving their Driver's License. Source: I was raised LDS in Utah County, Utah, and every man in my immediate orbit was a former Boy Scout, including my fiance who is an Eagle Scout. That being said, Scouting does exist outside of the LDS Church, in fact my nieces are now both Scouts (not Girl Scouts, "Boy" Scouts) and my sister is a troop leader, and while my siblings and I were all raised in the church, we've all since left as adults and view our upbringing as having been raised in a cult. So, my sister's involvement in the Scouts is entirely separate from being LDS/Mormon, and from what I understand their troop is secular and not involved with the LDS Church in any way. Particularly since, last I heard at least, the LDS Church hadn't quite embraced the idea of girls participating in "Boy" Scouts (though they often called women to serve as troop leaders, which is a whole other interesting conversation about how the church views gender roles, but I digress...)

This is exactly why so many people get away with the crimes they commit.

Former Girl Scout here. We have Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards. You get this by doing something positive that makes an impact on your community. I’ve had friends in Boy Scouts that made it to the rank of Eagle Scout and from there you earn merit badges to win what’s known as palms. I’m not really really sure how it works, but depending on the amount of badges you earn you start off at bronze, silver, and inevitably gold.

First, there's no bronze or silver scout. Maybe back in the day? Also, you don't get "promoted" to eagle scout. It's something you earn because you deserve it. You have to strive for it. It's hard. It took me all 7 years. 3 days before my 18th, I was awarded the rank of eagle through my hard work and actions. I went before 2 boards, a local, and district. Had to complete a community project. And earn many many merit badges. I loved every second of it. If I could do it again. I would. Made life long friends and many fond memories. Side note, this guy's story is crazy.

Cases like him happen anyway regardless of schools , u can t tell me graduates from oxford are all 100% successfull qnd , not criminals if they do stupid decisions that could alter that.
