Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht gets life without parole

Ross Ulbricht, founder of hidden online marketplace Silk Road, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Ulbricht was convicted in February of seven separate charges, but two were dropped by prosecutors shortly before sentencing.

The final judgement on the remaining five charges resulted in jail time for each, with sentences of 5, 15 and 20 years plus two life terms to be served concurrently.
