**Trump Pledges to Commute Ross Ulbricht’s Sentence on His First Day in Office: Bitcoin Conference**
In a surprising announcement at the recent Bitcoin Conference, former President Donald Trump pledged to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht on his first day back in office if re-elected. Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road, an infamous online marketplace shut down by the FBI, is currently serving a double life sentence without the possibility of parole. The declaration has stirred significant discussions within the crypto community, drawing a mix of support and opposition. Trump’s commitment adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about Ulbricht’s severe punishment and its implications for the future of cryptocurrency regulation.
