Donald Trump declared, 'We're going to get him home,' referring to Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
The former President of the United States Donald Trump has pledged he will grant Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht with a presidential pardon if he is re-elected in November's election."He's already served 11 years, we're going to get him home," he said of the creator of Silk Road — which is known as the first modern darknet market with a payment system built on Bitcoin seized the laptop.
Ulbricht was convicted in a U.S. federal court in 2015 for various charges relating to the operations of the Silk Road. He was sentenced to two life terms plus forty years and no possibility of parole."I will ensure that the future of crypto and the future of Bitcoin will be made in the USA, not driven overseas," he said, before promising to protect those who choose to hold their crypto assets outside centralized crypto exchanges.
"I will support the right to self-custody, to the nation's 50 million crypto holders I say this with your vote, I will keep Elizabeth Warren and her goons away from your Bitcoin," he added, a vastly different tone to when he was calling Bitcoin a scam during his tenure as president.Spot Ether ETFs approved, but Gary Gensler didn’t vote for them — Here’s why
