Ep. 97 Lyn Ulbricht on the Absurd Trial and Sentencing in the Silk Road Case
Lyn Ulbricht is the mother of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road website. Contrary to the government's assertions, Lyn argues that her son was hardly a criminal kingpin menacing society. Even taking the laws on the book at face value, Ross' trial was a sham, and the government's behavior was shocking.
