No. He spent money to have people murdered (unsuccessfully.)

I don't think this should be taken into consideration, murder-for-hire charges were dropped. And this whole situation was created by federal agents misconduct.

I concur with this.

Regardless of what you think about his other activities, the above is damning.

And also impossible for you, as an individual, to verify.

I think it's bs.

I don't think moral considerations are going to have much influence on this particular decision. I suspect this will be more of a fiscal matter.

Pretty slim chances that a staunch objector to drugs & alcohol is going to pardon Ross Ulbricht.
