President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to grant a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, a notorious dark web marketplace. Ulbricht was arrested in 2013 and convicted in 2015 for operating Silk Road, which facilitated illegal activities using Bitcoin. He was sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years without parole. Trump had previously promised to commute Ulbricht's sentence if re-elected in 2024. The potential release has divided opinions, with supporters seeing Ulbricht as a symbol of free-market innovation while critics argue his platform enabled criminal activity.
