I keep an eye on some of the right wing forums and I’ve seen this claim repeatedly made about various people like Snowden and Asante and various others. Everytime the claims turn out to be totally baseless wishful thinking. So while I understand the feeling that Ulbricht was treated unfairly I would take this with an enormous pinch of salt. All that’s going on at the moment is that pardons are being considered for lots of things and people are trying to push for their own favourite candidates by trying to rally support in the press.

I agree with you, yet Pickard was released this last summer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Leonard_Pickard The vast majority of pardon pleas go unnoticed and yes, media campaigns try to make it seem like these things are getting the attention they might deserve... yet even if trump doesnt do it, the legalization of pot, decrim in oregon/cali, mdma/ketamine studies, etc are all pointing towards a (bare minimum) decriminalized future, one in which criminals like ross will begin to look less like criminals. Also the fact that news articles are even willing to suggest that trump is considering it is fascinating; I have yet to see news articles suggesting something similar of say, nixon. Do you think ross wont be a free man in 20 years?
