"Sir I did not bring in tons of cocaine across the border, I only drove a boat". Is essentially your argument.
Now I'm not against what the silk road was initially supposed to be, but this guy took it to a whole new level of fucked.
I think the argument is more, "Sir, I'm the manager at this Walmart and I have no idea what these people were exchanging amongst themselves in the back aisle."
Either way, double life + 40 years is a bullshit sentence for what this is.
Sure, youre the owner of walmart though, with regulations.
And then you call next door to find a hitman to get rid of some of your problems, and get caught trying to murder people with money.
I also like the "questionable integrity" claim because the trial had a fuck load of dead to rights evidence.
Supporters cant claim he didn't do it, because he sure as fuck did, and was working on fleeing the country.
Does this bit not seem questionable?
