Fox News
Ross Ulbricht, founder of the now-defunct darknet drug market previously known as Silk Road, thanked President Donald Trump for setting him free and hinted at his future plans in a video posted to X.
It is considered the first modern version of darknet illegal marketplaces, which, over the years, have become more prevalent. Ulbricht was sentenced to life without parole.
Ulbricht's laptop, from which he did much of the site's maintenance and creation, is held as an artifact by the FBI alongside other items such as Ted Kaczynski's cabin, D.B. Cooper's plane ticket and pieces of the World Trade Center.
