Someone's time in the sun has expired and now he's trying to milk his fame some more. I imagine his long term plan is to rebrand himself Mitnick-style into a "hacker for the people." What's Mitnick doing nowadays? Oh right, selling exploits to the highest bidder.

Ulbricht seems likely to do a lot more time than Mitnick ever did. By the time he gets out, I doubt most people will remember who he was.

Mitnick's sentence was ~5 years. Under the sentencing guidelines, Ulbricht will almost undoubtedly spend most if not all of the rest of his life in federal prison. He isn't trying to "milk his fame some more" - he is simply fighting for his life. He has nothing to lose by grasping at straws and exhausting all of his post-conviction options, so I don't fault him for trying.

Post-trial motions are a standard part of trial practice. For example, a lawyer might argue that the evidence presented at trial was insufficient to support the jury's verdict. In fact, some of these arguments are waived on appeal if not made in a post-trial motion.

It depends. I see him as a freedom fighter on the front lines. I will always remember his sacrifices. I guess it depends on your world view.

He wasn't fighting for the freedom of those people he put hits out on.

I am not a lawyer, but I read the filing and none of this seems related to his guilt or innocence. Rather, it seems to argue that law enforcement violated his rights and that prosecution evidence should not have been admitted.
