Ross Ulbricht’s release was a deal with the Libertarians for their endorsement.
Silk Road did not offer weapons and he did not hire a criminal to murder anyone. The FBI staged the whole thing. They forced his old roommate to pose as a murder victim. He later appoligized.
A pretty messy affair and Ulbricht’s release is justified. Even though Trump only did it to gain Libertarian votes.

Bad, even really evil people do good stuff sometimes. That’s a part of life.
