US President Donald Trump on January 21, 2025 said he had pardoned Ross Ulbricht, the man behind the "Silk Road" online marketplace that facilitated millions of dollars of drug sales. In 2015, Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of masterminding the "dark web" platform, on which some $200 million in narcotics were sold to customers across the world.
