Ulbricht gets his 6 billion in Bitcoin back. Then to show his gratitude, he contributes one billion dollars to various Trump oriented PACs. Would you do this if you were Ulbricht?
He spent 10 years in prison and is out now.
I’m very puzzled as to why Trump pardoned this guy.
I mean, his sentence was grossly excessive in the grand scheme of things in my opinion but he was still selling illegal drugs that are illegal for good reason and he deserved to go to prison for a few years at least and his assets seized.
That bitcoin can go a long way towards treating fentanyl addicts and securing the border against further imports.
Not going to happen, try as he may.
The SCOTUS has ruled that a “Pardon” is offered, the recipient must accept the pardon. Acceptance of a pardon admits “Guilt”
