Silk Road Founder, thanks to the US President’s “surprising blessing” in a video message after release.
Los Wolblicht, founder of Dark Web Marketplace, who was pardoned by President Donald Trump, said for the first time in prison.
The 40 -year -old Wolblicht is a US prosecutor’s authority, which is an illegal online market Silk Road, which is allegedly promoting $ 183 million drugs using Bitcoin, and is sentenced to life sentence twice in 2015 and sentenced to life. I received a year judgment.
President Trump gave Urburicht a complete and unconditional amnesty, and made an election for liberal and cryptocurrency lovers who had been active in seeking release.
In a video message posted on the X on Friday, Wolblicht thanked Trump for his pardon.
“I have been living without any parole and have been confined for more than 11 years, but he has released me. I’m a free person now. So Donald Trump keeps my promise. Let’s get to know that he is a person, “he said.
“President Trump, thank you very much for giving me this wonderful blessing. I am really grateful that I regained my life, regained the future, and got a second chance.”
Wolblicht said he would spend his time with his family, but he would like to talk more in the future.
“This is a victory and your victory, and this is an important moment for everyone who loves freedom and is concerned about the second chance,” he said.
“It’s a wonderful feeling to be free, even if you say it sparingly. It’s overwhelming.”

Wolblicht’s lawsuit was taken up as an example of overwhelming government by liberal and cryptocurrency supporters, and Urburicht has been prosecuted unreasonably in transactions by others, and claims that his punishment is not suitable for crime. I was.
Ulburicht’s lawyer also argued that Urburicht had created a site, gave his management rights to others just a few months later, and was invited as a fall -guys.
President Trump, who announced his amnesty, decided that Urburicht’s punishment was “ridiculous”, and that his prosecution was part of “the same madman involved in modern government weapons.” I mentioned.
US prosecutors have claimed that Urburicht was a crime mastermind who was driven by the desire for gold and power, and that the drug sold on his site caused six deaths.
The prosecution also claimed that Ulurbricht had been killed by the killing of those who regarded himself as a threat to his strategy, but Urburicht was not convicted of such a crime and someone was actually killed. No evidence has been submitted.
Some Republican members, known for their belief in Libertarian’s views, welcomed President Trump, but this movement was accused of many Democrats.
Democratic Senate Cortes Mast said in the post to X, “Pilling to the focus of a drug trafficking is a flapping face to the family who lost his beloved person in his crime.”
“Donald Trump needs to explain to them how the United States is safe, which is a violence.”
