I don't think anyone in here is making the case that Ulbricht is a "good person", but comparing Escobar to Ulbricht is next-level delusional.

Get some perspective and/or learn your history.

He built a tool that allowed people to circumvent a wantonly unjust legal framework by an aging, decreasingly relevant state.
We need more of that.
