Trump has granted clemency to Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht
It has been reported that there is a growing campaign for President Trump to pardon Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the infamous Silk Road online marketplace, before his term ends in January.
Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for his role in creating and operating the Silk Road, a platform known for facilitating illegal drug sales using Bitcoin.
Supporters of Ulbricht argue that he has already served enough time for his crime and that his punishment was overly severe. They also highlight the positive impact he has made while in prison, including mentoring fellow inmates and advocating for criminal justice reform.
However, critics of the potential pardon argue that Ulbrichts actions were responsible for enabling the sale of dangerous substances and promoting criminal activity. They believe that he should serve out his sentence as a deterrent to others who may be considering similar illegal activities.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether President Trump will grant clemency to Ross Ulbricht before he leaves office.
