Is this sarcasm or what? I don't see any official announcement where Ross Ulbricht will be released in January, it's just a hope for Donald Trump will release him.
I think Gary Gensler didn't make a fatal mistake which can bring him to get fired instantly, high likely Trump will say it's under progress and we have to wait for few years.
Now people wait for that promise to happen and we maybe could see if that promise is true if we able to hear another news that Ulbricht is finally out of the prison.
To many promise made by Trump and let see if he could able to make this one to happen.
