I think this pardon just reflects Trump's transactional politics. Ulbricht has sympathizers in high places now because crypto is all over this administration.

In the long run letting political influence trump (no pun intended) the criminal justice system is a very bad thing.

By world standards our criminal justice system is a strength of the country. A pity if we lose that.

Ulbricht was unfairly sentenced.

All of the death threat allegations were never proven.

He did not deserve to rot in prison for life for creating a website.

And yet the Ross Ulbricht case was a huge injustice. Biden should have done it.
