Former Bitcoin developer Amir Taaki is urging for the release of Ross Ulbricht on Election Day. Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road online marketplace, is currently serving a double life sentence without parole for his involvement in the platform.
Taaki, who has been involved in the cryptocurrency space for many years, believes that Ulbricht should be granted clemency. He argues that Ulbricht’s sentence is excessively harsh and that he should be given a second chance.
Ulbricht’s case has garnered support from many in the cryptocurrency community, who see him as a pioneer in the field. They believe that his imprisonment sets a dangerous precedent for those involved in the industry.
As the debate over Ulbricht’s fate continues, Taaki and others are hopeful that he will eventually be released. They are calling on authorities to reconsider his sentence and give him a chance to rebuild his life outside of prison.
