ome crypto users are skeptical of Trump’s intentions
Many crypto and blockchain advocates have been calling for any US president to pardon Ulbricht since his conviction, but some were skeptical that Trump would keep his promise to the Silk Road founder.

The Republican reiterated his pledge in a pre-election social media post, but PolitiFact reported in 2020 that Trump only kept or partially kept roughly 27% of campaign promises during his first three years at the White House.

“I don’t trust Trump,” said Franklin in a Nov. 12 reply to Ulbricht’s X post. “He already had 4 years to free you but dropped the ball.”
