Trump Pledges to Free Silk Road Creator Ross Ulbricht If Re-Elected
Ulbricht has served 11 years of his sentence of two life terms plus 40 years for creating the darknet marketplace. Donald J. Trump has pledged to commute Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht’s life sentence to time served if he’s re-elected president.
“If you vote for me, on Day 1, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht to a sentence of time served,” Trump said during his Saturday night remarks at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C. “He’s already served 11 years, we’re gonna get him home.”
