Ross Ulbricht received a huge gift from Crypto World. He was forgiven earlier this year, and in a few hours, about $ 33.4 million Bitcoin was sent to a donation wallet.
He has already seen the support of big players like Kraken. Kraken gave Bitcoin $ 111,111 and the grassroots effort amounted to about $ 270,000. Now he is enough to start again and many people in the Crypto community are watching closely.
Community support flow
According to Lockonchain, a blockchain analysis platform, 300 BTC landed on Ulbricht’s wallet a few hours after it was sent. This is not the first time that generous supporters contacted for the first time.

In early 2025, Kraken quietly helped to adapt more than $ 111,111 to life outside prison. The group called Free Ross has made a donation of more than $ 270,000.
Another address associated with ULBRICHT collects $ 4,615 in Ethereum, USDC, Tether (USDT) and Binance Coin (BNB). All of this suggests that many are still deeply interested in his destiny.
Presidential pardon and backlash
On January 21, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed a complete and unconditional pardon for ULBRICHT. He was convicted in New York about drugs and money laundry plotes in 2015, and spent 11 years in a double life without parole.
Based on the report, ULBRICHT can access the inactive Bitcoin wallet connected to Silk Road, and this wallet can hold about $ 47 million. The potential pattern has caused more debate.
Personal item auction
ULBRICHT has also changed to sell past sculptures. Based on the report of the Bitcoin driving collection platform, SAFFE CITY, it was raised about $ 1.8 million by auctioning personal items and art.
His prison ID card draws the highest bid of 11 BTC, worth more than $ 1.1 million. The oil painting made with the help of the fellow prisoner “omega” was sold for 1.01 BTC. All 13 artifacts, including prison sneakers, sweat, t -shirts, prison notes, and lockers, began to catch them.
Before he was arrested, he owned things like DJEMBE drums, backpacks, and Vibram Fivefingers shoes. The bidder must complete the payment by June 2 and Ulbricht is ready to escape this physical notification.
