Benzinga – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed his intent to pardon Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, if he becomes President. He also encouraged his followers to sign a petition for Ulbricht’s release.
What Happened: Kennedy Jr. took to X on Friday to voice his support for Ulbricht, who is serving two life sentences for creating the Silk Road, an online marketplace notorious for illegal transactions.

In the meantime, I’m going to sign the petition asking for his release, and I encourage you to do the same,” he wrote.
