Here is what the discussion looked like almost a decade ago: >>9626985

Very striking to see how the sentiment has drastically shifted, while the facts of the case did not. There is a really cultural shift visible in how this issue is seen on here.

What I don't understand is why Donald Trump, of all people, is being lenient on drug traffickers.

Basically he did it to get the vote of the right-libertarians. He made a promise to them.

They idolize Ross for creating a drug market because they view it as freedom of speech.

I don't think I buy this. He doesn't need to care about citizen votes anymore, and how big is the libertarian with a capital 'L' true believer block in Congress? Is there any? I'm not sure there was ever any political support for Ross Ulbricht.

Has to be something else going on here, none of the explanations in this thread are hitting it on the head for me.

He doesn't care anymore, but he kept his promise.

There was the free Ross movement, they promised to vote for him if he pardons Ross and he did.

He apparently tweeted about how much Ross's mum supported him during the campaign.

But my source for all this info is reddit
