The Supreme Court announced on June 28, 2018, that it will not reconsider the conviction or life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the alleged mastermind behind the darknet site Silk Road.
Ulbricht was first arrested in October 2013 at the Glen Park Branch Library in San Francisco.
Ulbricht was found guilty on counts of trafficking drugs on the internet, running a criminal enterprise, narcotics-trafficking conspiracy, computer hacking and money laundering, and was sentenced to life in prison.
Ulbricht’s legal team later filed an appeal of the sentence, which was formally denied in 2017.
Ulbricht attempted to bring his case before the Supreme Court last December, alleging that his fourth and sixth amendment rights had been violated.
