However, he wasn't responsible nor accountable for the actions of others- It's their decision on how they used the service.

In my view, the sentencing Is ridiculous.

I did read somewhere that he hired a few hitmen, that failed. He also did deal with some of the stuff I believe, but he mostly delegated.

I believe the way he got caught was a fbi/cia (something like that) pretended to be a legit buyer, and was messaging Ross directly.

The majority of "hitmen" were con-artists, like the one in this article:

I don't think I've heard of any cases where services were legitimate, though I suppose you wouldn't if they were successful.

Wow, that was a good read. I am surprised at the stupidity of some people on the Internet. I have read countless articles about how it is practically impossible to be completely anonymous online, even through tor.
