Former US President Donald Trump has promised to release Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht from prison if he is re-elected in the November election.
“If you vote for me, I will commuted the sentence of Ross Ulbricht on day one,” Trump said at the Libertarian Party’s national convention in Washington on May 25.
“He’s served over a decade in prison, and it’s time for him to come home,” Trump said of the founder of Silk Road, the first modern dark web marketplace to utilize Bitcoin (BTC) as a means of payment.
