Ross Ulbricht, recently pardoned by President Donald Trump after serving over 11 years of a life sentence, released a video message expressing gratitude and admiration for the president. In his statement on X, Ulbricht highlighted that Trump fulfilled a campaign promise by granting him a full pardon.
Calling Trump “a man of his word,” Ulbricht viewed the pardon as a significant moment of personal redemption and liberation. He emphasized the importance of freedom and sees this opportunity as a new beginning, not just for himself but for those who advocated for his release.
Ulbricht’s immediate plans focus on family reunification and personal recovery. While promising to remain relatively low-profile initially, he indicated he would communicate with the public again in the future. The crypto community, which has long supported him, will likely follow his next steps with keen interest.
