    3. The creator of darknet marketplace Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, has published one of his rare tweets to share his news and thoughts from his prison cell with the cryptocurrency community.

    4,000 Days, or 11 Years, in Prison

    The founder of Silk Road shared that his “milestone” was reaching his 4,000th day in prison. Ulbricht has spent 11 years doing time and will begin his 12th annum in prison in two weeks. Ulbricht once again stated that he has tried his best to change, “to grow and be a better man.” Now, he says that he is ready to use the hard lessons he has learned “to make amends as a free man.”

    I just spent my 4,000th day in prison. I'll begin my 12th year in two weeks. During that time, I’ve tried my best to grow and be a better man. I want to use the hard lessons I’ve learned to make amends as a free man, if I’m given the chance.Ross Ulbricht

    Ross Ulbricht vs. Sam Bankman-Fried

    The crypto community has supported Ulbricht since day one of his imprisonment, considering that most believe he was sentenced unjustly. Many crypto fans and libertarians often compare Ulbricht’s case with that of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the collapsed FTX exchange charged with defrauding the platform’s investors and traders for billions of U.S. dollars. However, many believe that SBF is being kept under much softer conditions in prison than Ulbricht. Besides, unlike the Silk Road founder with his double lifetime sentence, Bankman-Fried received 25 years of imprisonment. Among FTX investors was TV celebrity and Shark Tank co-host Kevin O’Leary, also known as 'Mr. Wonderful'.

    The crypto community continues to actively discuss Ross Ulbricht’s fate and express hope for his possible release, awaiting the crucial event – the U.S. elections, which may influence his case.
