lmfao, Ross Ulbricht tried paying $700k+ for a hitman to kill 5 targets, get outta here.

Yeah dude, by all accounts it does seem that the paranoia and power went to his head.
Don't get me wrong, he's a pioneer and a visionary for what he did, but I have yet to read any credible account that discredits his attempt at purchasing hitmen.
Decided to TL;DR it..
Edward Snowden is a whistleblower that is not exiled in Russia.
Ross Ulbricht is the founder of the first well-known darknet market Silk Road.
Julian Assange is one of the founders of Wikileaks, a whistleblower site.
Roman Semyonov, Alexey Pertsev and Roman Storm seems to be related to cryptocurrency laundering. Hadn't heard of them.
I'd add:
Chelsea Manning, another whistleblower.
Aaron Swartz was accused of sharing MIT's academic articles and committed suicide.
Nah
No way you can put all those people in the same bucket. Some of them as stated in the other comments are all but honest.
Assange is free. Also, many of these are not like the others. Snowden and Assange are (mostly) genuine whistleblowers, while the others are just gangsters.
