美国总统唐纳德·特朗普赦免了被监禁的暗网黑市丝绸之路创始人罗斯·乌布利希。

Trump said on Tuesday that he had called Ulbricht’s mother to inform her he had signed a “full and unconditional pardon” for her son, who was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in 2015 for his role in operating the illicit marketplace.

特朗普周二表示，他已致电乌布利希的母亲，告知她他已签署了对乌布利希儿子的“全面、无条件赦免”，乌布利希因在经营非法市场中所扮演的角色而于 2015 年被判处终身监禁，不得假释。

“The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponisation of government against me,” Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social.

特朗普在他的社交媒体平台“真相社会”上表示，“那些致力于给他定罪的人渣，正是参与现代政府针对我的武器化的一些疯子。”

“He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!”

“他被判处两项无期徒刑，外加 40 年徒刑。荒谬的！”

Ulbricht, 40, was convicted of seven counts related to his operation of Silk Road, which facilitated the sale of illegal drugs and other illicit goods using Bitcoin, including distributing narcotics and engaging in a criminal enterprise.

40 岁的乌布利希被判犯有与丝绸之路运营相关的七项罪名，该项目利用比特币促进非法毒品和其他非法商品的销售，包括分销毒品和从事犯罪活动。

US prosecutors alleged that the site had been used to facilitate more than 1.5 million transactions worth approximately $213m, including more than $183m in drug sales.

美国检察官称，该网站已被用来促成超过 150 万笔交易，价值约 2.13 亿美元，其中包括超过 1.83 亿美元的毒品销售。

Prosecutors also alleged that Ulbricht, who operated under the alias Dread Pirate Roberts, had solicited the murders of people he viewed as threats to his enterprise, though he was not charged over the alleged murder-for-hire plots and no evidence was presented that anyone had actually been killed.

检察官还声称，化名“恐惧海盗罗伯茨”的乌布利希曾怂恿谋杀他认为对他的企业构成威胁的人，尽管他没有因涉嫌雇佣谋杀阴谋而受到指控，也没有证据表明任何人实际上已经被杀了。

Sentencing Ulbricht, US District Judge Katherine Forrest said that the California man’s actions had been his “carefully planned life’s work” and that he was “no better a person than any other drug dealer”.

美国地区法官凯瑟琳·福雷斯特在宣判乌布利希时表示，这名加州男子的行为是他“精心策划的毕生事业”，而且他“并不比任何其他毒贩更好”。

While Ulbricht admitted creating Silk Road, his lawyers argued that he had passed control of his “economic experiment” to others after a few months and had been lured back to take the fall for its true operators just as authorities were closing in.

虽然乌布利希承认创建了丝绸之路，但他的律师辩称，几个月后他已将“经济实验”的控制权交给了其他人，并在当局逼近时被引诱回来为其真正的运营商承担责任。

Ulbricht’s case had been held up as an example of government overreach by libertarians and cryptocurrency enthusiasts, who argued that he was unfairly prosecuted since he had not sold illegal goods himself and was being held responsible for the transactions of people who used the site.

乌布利希的案件被自由主义者和加密货币爱好者视为政府越权的一个例子，他们认为乌布利希受到了不公平的起诉，因为他本人没有出售非法商品，而且要对使用该网站的人的交易负责。

In May, Trump told the national convention of the Libertarian Party, a fringe party that has no representation in the US Congress, that he would commute Ulbricht’s sentence on “day one” of his administration if elected.

今年五月，特朗普在自由党（一个在美国国会没有代表权的边缘政党）全国代表大会上表示，如果当选，他将在其执政的“第一天”为乌布利希减刑。

After Trump’s election in November, Ulbricht expressed gratitude to those voting for the Republican on his behalf.

特朗普11月当选后，乌布利希对那些代表他投票给共和党的人表示感谢。

“I trust him to honor his pledge and give me a second chance. After 11+ years in darkness, I can finally see the light of freedom at the end of the tunnel,” he said in a post on X.

“我相信他会兑现他的承诺并给我第二次机会。在黑暗中度过了 11 年多之后，我终于可以看到隧道尽头的自由之光。”他在 X 上的一篇帖子中说道。

Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman known for advocating libertarian causes, was among a number of Ulbricht supporters to welcome the news of the pardon.

以倡导自由主义事业而闻名的共和党国会议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）是对赦免消息表示欢迎的众多乌布利希支持者之一。

“Ross Ulbricht has been freed by President Trump with a full pardon! Thank you for keeping your word to me and others who have been advocating for Ross’ freedom, Mr. President!,” Massie, who represents a district in Kentucky, said in a post on X.

“罗斯·乌布利希已被特朗普总统释放并获得全面赦免！总统先生，感谢您对我和其他一直倡导罗斯自由的人信守诺言！”代表肯塔基州一个选区的马西在 X 上的帖子中说道。
