If Trump can get him out, then maybe all he promised during his campaign can happen, some of it probably. Gary Gensler's tenure will end this year or the next as I read in some comments. I guess it won't make a difference if he fires him or just lets him go in peace and finish his term.
But yeah FREE Ross, 12 years seem too much for what he did. I'm starting to believe they are still trying to squeeze the private keys of Ross's wallet that's why he isn't pardoned.

Well let see its because right now this is what people look for, many are now watching him to perform or implement those plans he said to people. Allowing Ulbricht to get released would indicate that he is true to his word and also a good sign that his really for Bitcoin now.
So again lets follow up for more update regarding on this case since many people really believe that penalties given to that unfortunate guy is to much and many think that he already serve his sentence in prison.
