Odaily News Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, posted a message on X platform to thank former US President Donald Trump. He said: "Last night, Donald Trump promised to commute my sentence on the first day if he was re-elected. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. After 11 years in prison, it's hard for me to express how I feel at this moment. Thanks to your unremitting support, I have a second chance." Yesterday, Donald Trump promised at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, DC that if he was re-elected as president, he would commute Ross Ulbricht's sentence on the first day. Trump said that Ulbricht has served 11 years in prison and "we want him to go home." Many people in the audience held signs that read "Free Ross" and cheered Trump's promise.
