PANews reported on June 23 that according to Bitcoin.com, US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. recently expressed strong support for Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the dark web Silk Road. Kennedy believes that Ulbricht was sentenced to life imprisonment for creating the Silk Road, and the punishment for him was too harsh. If he were elected president, he would pardon Ulbricht. In addition, Kennedy announced plans to sign a petition calling for Ulbricht's release and urged others to join the initiative. According to previous news, Trump also promised last month that he would pardon Ross Ulbricht if elected.
