Latest from the world of US presidential pardons
Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, pardoned by Trump, seen grinning from ear to ear in new photohttps://nypost.com/2025/01/22/us-news/silk-road-founder-ross-ulbricht-pardoned-by-trump-seen-grinning-from-ear-to-ear-in-new-photo/
Fresh off receiving a “full and unconditional pardon” from President Trump, sparing him from two life sentences, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht was spotted in a new photograph smiling broadly and carrying a small potted plant.
The new picture shows Ulbricht, his hair neatly coiffed, sporting a gray sweatsuit and carrying a white mesh bag on his back.
Ulbricht, now 40, was serving a life sentence after being convicted in February 2015 for his connection with the notorious dark web marketplace, where users could anonymously buy or sell narcotics or a wide range of other illicit items.
