Maybe I'm wrong in this, but I read:

  peaceful people engaged in voluntary trade like
  [...] the operators of the Silk Road Market

to be a claim that the Silk Road Market operators were "peaceful people" that the FBI had no business going after. I don't know anything about the case against Charlie Shrem, but that "and" groups Charlie Shrem and the Silk Road operators into the same bucket.

So long as that quote is being faithfully reproduced, I don't see how talking about his prison sentence has much to do with what I'm talking about.
