Consider the appeals court remarks in affirming sentence of RU: "Accordingly, while a life sentence for selling drugs alone would give pause, we would be hard put to find such a sentence beyond the bounds of reason for drug crimes of this magnitude. But the facts of this case involve much more than simply facilitating the sale of narcotics. The district court found by a preponderance of the evidence that Ulbricht commissioned at least five murders in the course of protecting Silk Road’s anonymity, a finding that Ulbricht does not challenge in this appeal. Ulbricht discussed those anticipated murders callously and casually in his journal and in his communications with the purported assassin Redandwhite. For example, in connection with the first hit, he wrote to Redandwhite that “FriendlyChemist is a liability and I wouldn’t mind if he was executed.” Tr. 1822. In the course of negotiating the price for the killing,
DPR claimed that “[n]ot long ago, I had a clean hit done for $80k,” id. at 1883, but that he had “only ever commissioned the one other hit, so I’m still learning this
market,” id. at 1884. He then paid $150,000 in Bitcoins for the murder, and he received what purported to be photographic documentation if its completion. Ulbricht then wrote in his journal that he “[g]ot word that the blackmailer was executed,” id. at 1887, before returning quickly to other tasks associated with running the site.
In negotiating the other four killings, Ulbricht initially resisted multiple murders. He instructed Redandwhite to “just hit Andrew [usernames Tony76 and nipplesuckcanuck] and leave it at that.” Id. at 1897. Redandwhite said he could do it for “150 just like last time,” but that he would not be able to recover
any of DPR’s money if he killed only one person because he would have to commit the murder outside of the victim’s home or office where he stored his funds. Id. If Ulbricht wanted him to recover money, the self-professed assassin claimed, he would have to kill not only Tony76, but also his three associates. responded that he would “defer to [Redandwhite’s] better judgment and hope[d]
[to] recover some assets” from the hit. Id. at 1899. He then sent $500,000 in Bitcoins, the agreed-upon price for four killings, to Redandwhite. As the district court stated in discussing Ulbricht’s journal entries concerning these projected murders, his words are “the words of a man who is callous as to the consequences or the harm and suffering that [his actions] may cause others.” App’x 1521.
