As Gateway Pundit previously reported, President Trump said he plans to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht on his first day as president.
Speaking at the Libertarian National Convention on Saturday, Trump told the crowd, “If you vote for me, I will commute Ross Ulbricht’s sentence.”
Trump added: “He’s served 11 years and we’re going to get him home.”
When Trump made the announcement, the liberal crowd erupted in applause.
In response to Trump’s statement, Ulbricht wrote: “Last night, Donald Trump promised that if re-elected, he would commute my sentence on day one. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. After 11 years in prison, I am very happy It’s hard to express how I feel at this moment. Thanks to your continued support, I may get a second chance.

After 11 years in prison, it is difficult for me to express how I feel at this moment. Thanks to your continued support, I may get a second chance.

In 2015, Ross Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for creating and operating the darknet market Silk Road.
Decrypt each time:
Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht has expressed his gratitude to former US President and 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump for promising to commute his sentence on “day one” of his term if re-elected. He made the comments while delivering a speech at the Liberal Party’s national convention on Saturday night.
“Last night, Donald Trump promised to commute my sentence on Day 1 if re-elected. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you,” Ulbricht tweeted. “After 11 years in prison, it’s difficult for me to express how I feel at this moment. Thanks to your continued support, I may be given a second chance.
Two days before Trump announced plans to commute Ulbricht’s sentence, Ulbricht wrote on X: “I arrived at the prison chapel and got on the waiting list for a faith-based program called Threshold. . Hopefully I can get started soon!
