Sharing is Caring!

President Trump has made headlines once again by granting a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the infamous dark web marketplace, Silk Road. This decision has sent shockwaves through the legal and political communities, as Ulbricht was serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for his role in operating the illicit marketplace.

On Tuesday, Trump took to Truth Social to announce the pardon, stating, “It was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross.” He emphasized that the individuals who worked to convict Ulbricht were the same ones involved in what he described as the “modern-day weaponization of government” against him.

Ulbricht’s case has been a focal point for libertarians and cryptocurrency enthusiasts who argue that his prosecution was an example of government overreach. The Silk Road, which Ulbricht operated under the alias “Dread Pirate Roberts,” facilitated the sale of illegal drugs and other illicit goods using Bitcoin. Despite the site’s controversial nature, many believe that Ulbricht’s life sentence was excessively harsh.
