The first appearance after Los Ulbricht's pardon is revealed

On January 22, according to multiple news media outlets, Ross Ulbricht, known as the founder of the dark web marketplace Silk Road, was publicly seen for the first time after receiving a presidential pardon and release.

The released image shows Ross Ulbricht walking in a parking lot dressed in a gray sports suit, smiling while holding a potted green plant. This photo marks his first appearance in public after being released from long-term incarceration.

Ulbricht’s release is not merely a legal decision but is based on years of ongoing legal battles and strong pardon petitions from the entire cryptocurrency community. Many supporters in the digital asset industry have argued that the prison sentence imposed for operating an online marketplace was excessively harsh.

This pardon decision highlights the significant public interest in Ross Ulbricht and the sympathetic view within the crypto community towards him.
