News source: https://cn.cointelegraph.com/news/donald-trump-ross-ulbricht-silk-road
Former US President Donald Trump has vowed to release Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht if he is re-elected.
If you vote for me, I will commut the sentence of Ross Urbricht on day one, Trump said at the Libertarian Party National Convention in Washington on May 25. Hes served 11 years, and were going to send him home, he said. Silk Road is known as the first modern darknet market, with its payment system based on Bitcoin.
“I will make sure that the future of cryptocurrency and the future of Bitcoin will be made in America and not pushed overseas,” he said, before promising to protect those who choose to hold crypto assets outside of centralized cryptocurrency exchanges.
He added: I will support the right to self-custody and say to the 50 million cryptocurrency holders across America, I will use your vote to keep Elizabeth Warren and her people away from your Bitcoin, a stark departure from his calls during his presidency that Bitcoin was a scam.
Who is Ross Ulbricht?
Ross Ulbricht, nicknamed Fear Pirate Roberts, is the owner of the trading platform Silk Road. Silk Road is an online trading platform for drugs, psychotropic substances and other illegal products. The website uses hidden services and uses Bitcoin as the main currency of the website because of its relative anonymity, fast transaction speed and founder Rosss love for digital currency. The website charges a fee for each transaction, and Ulbricht has earned an estimated net worth of millions of dollars. In 2013, Ulbricht was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking, hacking and conspiracy to launder money. In 2015, the 31-year-old Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison.
Currently, mainstream currencies are fluctuating near new highs and are expected to break through new highs to drive a new round of increases.
