BREAKING: White House Insider Source Speaks! Trump to Keep First Promise on Bitcoin, Will Pardon Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht

President Donald Trump is preparing to pardon Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the infamous dark web marketplace Silk Road, according to sources close to the White House. A source with knowledge of the matter told The Post that a pardon is expected to be announced soon. Ulbricht’s pardon attorney, Brandon Sample, confirmed the possibility in an email, saying, “We expect President Trump to grant clemency.” Ulbricht, now 40, was arrested in San Francisco in 2013 and accused of operating the dark web platform Silk Road, which facilitated the sale of drugs and other illegal goods using Bitcoin as its primary currency. Operating under the alias “Dread Pirate Roberts,” Ulbricht was convicted in 2015 of drug trafficking, money laundering and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.
