#65 - The Bitcoin Pioneer Serving Two Life Sentences | Lyn Ulbricht

Lyn Ulbricht is the mother of Ross Ulbricht, who created the deep web e-commerce platform called “Silk Road” which earned $183 million dollars, where its users could exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, which was drugs in most cases.  At age of 26 Ross was arrested and handed a double life sentence plus 40 years without parole.  Put this into perspective.. a 26 year old first time offender with and all non-violent charges was given exactly TWICE the prison sentence as El Chapo.  Ever since Ross went to prison, his mother Lynn has been campaigning to expose the insane corruption within our judicial system and the draconian sentences handed down by prosecutors and judges.  Learn more at: https://freeross.org
