Ross, as people may know, probably this room knows, he was sort of a folk hero because he had this sort of cat and mouse game with the government.
He ran Silk Road.
Silk Road was one of the first crypto-based exchanges.
He acknowledges that he did things that were illegal that he should have done.
He regrets it.
Drugs were dealt on the exchange.
But that's what he was accused of.
The government later said that there were murder-for-hire incidents.
He was never prosecuted for that, and he denies that that ever happened.
But in any case, he was sentenced to a double life sentence.
Double life plus 40 years.
Who knows how he got the extra 40 years on there and how he would spend that after he'd been there for two lifetimes.
And...
There's a woman I met through Intel named Riva Tez who alerted me to this.
She's friends with Olaf, Carlson Wee, and sort of the crypto insiders.
And I thought about this, like, this guy's got no way out.
There's no recourse through the system to get someone with a life sentence out of jail.
This will only work with a presidential pardon.
And we worked on it.
We had some familiarity with the pardon process.
