Maryland Indictment Says Silk Road Founder Tried To Arrange Murder of Employee

Robotron23 writes "Further charges have been made against Silk Road founder Ross William Ulbricht, aka 'Dread Pirate Roberts'. Yesterday saw the shutdown of Silk Road, a website Ulbricht founded which specialized in the sale of illegal items such as recreational drugs. As well as paying for a hit on a forum member, Ulbricht later requested an undercover agent murder an arrested employee of Silk Road, terming it 'the right move.' Upon receiving staged photos of torture and eventually the corpse, Ulbricht paid in full."

""People who think they've invented a better society are the nastiest sort. ""

Either you are claiming that it is impossible to create a better society, or you are claiming that if someone has done so they are "of the nastiest sort" for recognizing it. Which is it?
