The Silk Road founder’s financial status was unclear, but many crypto users have donated to his ”transition into his new life” since he received a presidential pardon.
People supporting Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht’s efforts to reintegrate into society after more than 11 years in prison have opened their crypto wallets.
According to blockchain data, a wallet operated by the Free Ross campaign has received more than $270,000 worth of Bitcoin (BTC) for “Ross’s transition into his new life” since the Silk Road founder received a pardon from US President Donald Trump on Jan. 21.
Crypto exchange Kraken reported contributing $111,111 to the fund. An Ether (ETH) wallet also showed roughly $2,400 in donations, $900 in Solana (SOL), $200 in Cardano (ADA) and smaller amounts in BNB (BNB) and Dogecoin (DOGE).
