Trump pardons dark web marketplace creator Ross Ulbricht

People hold up signs reading "Free Ross" as Donald Trump arrives to address the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C, on May 25, 2024. Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the online marketplace Silk Road, was sentenced to life in prison in 2015.

Ulbricht operated the anonymous digital marketplace known as Silk Road when law enforcement arrested him. The pardon fulfills a campaign pledge Trump made to Ulbricht’s Libertarian supporters.
