【 XChainNews： Elon #Musk stated that #Ross Ulbricht will be freed， $ROSS was up 39% in the past 24 hours】

"If you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht," #Trump told attendees at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention in May last year, sparking renewed hope for the Silk Road founder’s freedom.

It is unclear whether Trump intends to pardon or commute Ulbricht’s sentence in the coming weeks.

The Silk Road operated as the first modern darknet marketplace, facilitating $1.2 billion in #Bitcoin transactions before its shutdown and establishing new patterns for anonymous online commerce.

Ulbricht received two life sentences plus 40 years without parole in 2015, convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, and narcotics trafficking charges.

Supporters argue his sentence was excessive, pointing to his clean record as a model prisoner who has expressed remorse while helping fellow inmates. Over 150 current and former prisoners have signed letters supporting his clemency.
 
Currently, Elon Musk stated that Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht will be freed.The current market cap of $ROSS is $26 million, up 39% in the past 24 hours.
