On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced via his social media platform Truth Social that he had granted a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the dark web marketplace Silk Road. This act fulfilled a campaign pledge he had made to the cryptocurrency community and libertarian supporters. Ulbricht had been sentenced to life in prison for operating a dark web platform that facilitated illegal transactions of drugs and hacking tools using virtual currency. Notably, Trump initially misspelled Ulbricht's name in the pardon announcement.
