I never claimed he didn't break the law. I said the opposite, that he's guilty of being an accessory to drug dealing.

> He didn't facilitate the wholesale distribution of illegal (and dangerous) drugs at all.

I said "he ran an online marketplace which drug dealers used to sell to their customers."

> He was just the online guy!

I said he's "no saint" and in an earlier post in this thread I also said he deserved a jail sentence and that "ten years was enough" for what he was charged with and convicted of as a first-time offender.

I challenged your assertion of "no difference" between DPR and Pablo Escobar as extreme and your response is to mischaracterize my position as DPR committing no crime instead of responding to my actual position that he's a criminal who is guilty and deserved ten years in jail but not two life sentences plus 40 years without parole. There is a middle ground between "completely innocent of anything" and "no different than Pablo Escobar." I don't understand why you can't acknowledge such a middle ground might exist - and that it is my position.
