10 to 20 years yes, double life? No.

My opinion is yes he set up a "hidden" website that facilitated in the selling of illegal items and various illegal practises, he wasn't tried for the murder allegations so I'm not sure what messed up legal system would allow that to be taken into consideration when sentencing but there you go however he did not supply anything himself (as far as I am aware) and even if he did he would be tried as a drug dealer.

What if someone became an e-bay/amazon seller and sold stuffed toys filled with illegal items, made both companies a lot of money and got caught? Does anyone honestly believe that even if the ceo's of those companies knew about it and proof of that emerged but turned a blind eye that they would ever see the inside of a jail cell?

This appears to me to be not what you know but who your know and your status in society.
