In a move that has sparked debate, President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road dark web marketplace, who had been serving two life sentences plus 40 years for enabling the illegal trade of drugs and other illicit goods. People using his site traded in bitcoin to avoid detection.
The pardon represents a stark departure from Trump's previous rhetoric on drug crimes. As recently as 2018, Trump endorsed capital punishment for drug dealers, stating: "If we don't get tough on the drug dealers, we're wasting our time."
