Trump just granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, founder of the Silk Road dark web marketplace.

Ulbricht had been serving a life sentence without parole since 2015 for charges including drug distribution and computer hacking.

Silk Road, which ran from 2011–2013, was a global drug bazaar fueled by Bitcoin, handling $200M+ in sales.

Trump called Ulbricht’s sentence “ridiculous” and credited the Libertarian Movement and crypto community for supporting the decision.

Ulbricht’s case has been a rallying point for the crypto world, with petitions and campaigns to “Free Ross.”

Trump’s move fulfills a campaign promise to the crypto community, further cementing his alliance with Bitcoin advocates.
