So the news is starting to circulate that Whitehouse sources have confirmed that Ross Ulbricht will be pardoned in the early rounds of executive actions.
This has got me thinking what people’s opinions are on the pardon? Do you see it as a win for the crypto community or do you think the original sentence was a fair one and he should not be pardoned?
For anyone who doesnt know the backstory of Ross :-
“Ross Ulbricht is the creator of Silk Road, an online black market that operated on the dark web from 2011 to 2013, facilitating the anonymous sale of illegal goods, primarily drugs, using Bitcoin. Operating under the alias “Dread Pirate Roberts,” Ulbricht was arrested in 2013 and convicted of charges including money laundering, computer hacking, and drug trafficking. He is currently serving a double life sentence without parole in the U.S “
