* Ulbricht's conviction became a cause célèbre in American libertarian circles.

* In May 2024, candidate Donald Trump said that if re-elected President, he would commute Ulbricht's sentence on his first day in office

I doubt Trump cares about Ulbricht as much as he cares (for whatever reason) about the continued support of various American libertarians (Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and various crypto elites).

While he has made many promises this is significant for being one that he has kept.
