I've discussed Ulbricht's case with some people just recently. Overall, I don't think people like him should be in prison, let alone have a life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. His crime was non-violent, but I also do understand why he got such a harsh punishment. He challenged the system a lot by defying the court, making a marketplace what doesn't need any governmental oversight and selling, among other things, opiates. Opiates are a very sensitive topic in the US because they still have overdose deaths on the rise. Still, a guy like that would be more useful working for the country, not against it or rotting in prison.
But as for Trump, I simply don't trust him. I think he's just being a populist, telling people what they want to hear to win more votes in the upcoming elections. And then, once he's in power, he can continue doing what he always did, and that's not being pro-Bitcoin and not being libertarian. Also, commuting the sentence could be a possibility of parole without him actually getting parole, for example. He didn't say he'd pardon him or otherwise free him.

Lol : "A vote for Trump means Ross could be free"
It's not far from begging votes at that level.
"The Bitcoin Historian" should remind us where Ross slept and spent his time, during Trump's years in White House?
That was just point 16. Scroll up to read the rest of the timeline too Ross's plight while being jailed.It's not far from begging votes at that level.

Don't know if this was during the Obama years but he did show where he spent 6 weeks of his conviction:

Will Trump return to the White House as a next President?It's not far from begging votes at that level.

We don't know about it now and if he won't become a next President of the USA., this debate on future of Dread Pirate Roberts is non sense.
Trump is trying to do everything he can to attract USA. citizens and turn them to his supporters. He will use any mean he can to get as many votes as possible. What will he do, what will be future of Dread Pirate Roberts should be discussed after he becomes a next elected President.

Edit: Apparently cynicism is not understood by all here, I was implying that Trump already had the opportunity to free him when he was President; and that trying to scrape up votes like that now is ridiculous

With it being an election year and bitcoin being one of the main catalysts in this and highly debated with subjects in the spotlight from it reaching it's all time high recently to it's regulation spurring debate among it's prime candidates on whether they should adopt or fight CBDC in the American financial system.
One thing that the former president had presented for his re-election did catch my eye:
Whether or not to pardon Ross Ulbricht of his crime for running the Silk Road?

With the presidential debates looming to happen this week and Elon Musk has stated he will host it on his social media platform X:

No mention of any questions about cryptocurrency would be presented but it would be speculation if not mentioned with all the political red tape from the SEC to his own Trump Pump to not have it spoken about:
