Well, morally speaking having sex with a man went against the “morals of the time”. We changed our collective opinion since then.

Now what Ross Ulbricht did is amoral today - but are you so sure we will not change our opinion about this act in a few decades?

If people didn’t continue with their “amoral homosexuality” we could have never accepted it to be he norm. They are the heroes of their times.

In many ways, what Ulbricht had done may become a viable method of policing organisations that are “too big to be policed”.
