特朗普总统赦免丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌布利希

特朗普总统兑现了他的一项关键竞选承诺——至少对于加密货币界的人来说——赦免了丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌布利希(Ross Ulbricht)的判决。

Former Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht will be released imminently after President Donald Trump pardoned his life sentence.

前丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌布利希在唐纳德·特朗普总统赦免其无期徒刑后将立即获释。

Trump announced the pardon on Truth Social on Friday, crediting Ulbricht's mother and the Libertarian Movement for their support.

特朗普周五在《真相社会》上宣布了赦免，并感谢乌布利希的母亲和自由主义运动的支持。

"It was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross," Trump wrote in the post.

特朗普在帖子中写道：“我很高兴刚刚签署了对她儿子罗斯的全面无条件赦免。”

The move follows then-candidate Trump promising a "Day One" commutation of Ulbricht's sentence last May while addressing the Libertarian Party convention.

此前，当时的候选人特朗普去年五月在自由党大会上发表讲话时承诺“第一天”为乌布利希减刑。

Ulbricht was convicted in 2015 of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise and distributing narcotics, along with a host of related crimes, via his operation of the darknet Silk Road marketplace. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

乌布利希于 2015 年被定罪，罪名是通过运营暗网丝绸之路市场从事持续犯罪活动和分销毒品以及一系列相关犯罪。他被判处终身监禁，不得假释。

The price of bitcoin rose in the minutes following the news, possibly as the pardon, along with a flurry of executive orders over the past hours, signals the president's intention to follow through on campaign promises.

消息传出后的几分钟内，比特币的价格上涨，可能是因为赦免以及过去几个小时内的一系列行政命令表明总统打算履行竞选承诺。

Another one of those promises was a far friendlier crypto regulatory stance, including the possibility of the creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve.

其中另一个承诺是更加友好的加密货币监管立场，包括建立战略比特币储备的可能性。

Ulbricht's case became a cause célèbre for many in the crypto community who note he did not himself sell drugs or other illegal items but instead operated a platform where others were allowed to transact.

乌布利希的案件引起了加密货币社区许多人的关注，他们指出，他本人并没有出售毒品或其他非法物品，而是运营着一个允许其他人进行交易的平台。

However, prosecutors argued that as the operator of Silk Road, Ulbricht was ultimately responsible for the narcotics sales that took place on the marketplace and that he also solicited the murders of former employees who threatened to expose Silk Road.

然而，检察官辩称，作为丝绸之路的运营商，乌布利希最终应对市场上发生的毒品销售负责，并且他还怂恿谋杀威胁要揭露丝绸之路的前雇员。

Those murder-for-hire charges were ultimately dropped after a federal judge ruled that prosecutors had engaged in misconduct during the investigation.

在一名联邦法官裁定检察官在调查期间存在不当行为后，这些雇佣谋杀指控最终被撤销。
