President Donald Trump has granted an unconditional pardon to the creator of the notorious dark web page Silk Road in honor of the 'Libertarian Movement,' while slamming the 'scum' who prosecuted him. Ross Ulbricht, 40, was arrested in 2013 because the dark website he founded facilitated the sale of illicit dr*gs using cryptocurrency. In early 2015 he was sentenced to two life terms in prison plus 40 years for dr*g trafficking, conspiracy to commit money laundering and computer hacking, operating under the pseudonym 'Dread Pirate Roberts.' On his campaign trail, Trump vowed to reduce Ulbricht's sentence 'on day one' if he were re-elected, and garnered enormous support from the convicted criminal's loved ones and fans. And while Ulbricht's clemency was not one of the many tasks Trump completed on day one, the President revealed on Tuesday evening that Ulbricht had been granted a 'full and unconditional pardon.' #rossulbricht #trump #arrest #prison #free #sentence #pardon #unconditional
