The founder of Silk Road, a site on the dark web for selling drugs and other contraband items, has called President Donald Trump “a man of his word” after he was pardoned this week.
Ross Ulbricht was convicted in 2015 for running a site on the dark web that sold drugs and other contraband items.
Trump had promised to free Ulbricht while speaking at the Libertarian Party National Convention last year.
Trump said he called Ulbricht’s mother on Monday to tell her he would be freed.
“This decision offers Ross the opportunity to begin anew, to rebuild his life, and to contribute positively to society,” Sample told The Washington Post.
