Ross Ulbricht got a idealistic genius vision of Freedom with a free and uncontrolled invention
But humans use his creation with bad, very bad, intentions and because of that humans punish him hard, very hard ...
Ross Ulbricht is serving now a double life sentence + 40 years without parole for all non-violent charges, for what prosecutors claim was his role in the Silk Road website.
How can this be possible !!
It's a young idealistic man, a very sensitive person, a great intelligence and enormous potential who is spoiled, waste and locked up in US prisons
Passionate about privacy and free markets, he was 26 years old when he made the site. He had no prior record and no victim was named at trial.
Since it had to be punished, I wonder why the US government has not chosen to use this huge potential of a man with a vision that corresponds perfectly to the digital evolution that we live!
They preferred to lock him up ...
Ross could be useful for so many good things and ideas that the new digital world needs ...
And him ... he just needs a pardon ...
This sad story must not be forgotten by all the internet sphere !!
Especially by all those, like us, who are using more and more decentralized app !!
Some good news could arrive today with all the work of his Mother, family and all the community support including gathering of over 100,000 signatures for Ross’s clemency petition his mother is still optimistic.
“I’m very hopeful because President Trump wants to pardon people,” explained Lyn Ulbricht to Yahoo Finance UK.
“It was a frankly reckless idea but [Ross] did it because he was on fire for freedom as a young guy in his mid twenties who believed in privacy and free markets — Ross never intended harm.”
Here is a link to the last an actual article, quite optimistic perhaps, about the case situation :

Can we think today that it was the beginnings of a decentralization networks révolution ??
Do you think Trump would absolve Ulbricht?
