Ross Ulbricht family have reasons to believe in Trump's promise and keep up their hope. Trump has yet taken over the White House and in about 70 more days, he will be there after his Presidential Inauguration.
Will Ross Ulbricht be actually freed out of prison next year in January or even later months?
Soon we will know about it and I remember that in one rally, Trump said with a man (maybe a dad) of a dead soldier, that he will lead investigation on reasons behind that death. But he emphasized that he will not do it on Day One, because he already had a lot of things for Day One. Let's wait for what Trump will do and how many promises he will keep to complete for his supporters in many rallies before the Election.
