Fresh off receiving a “full and unconditional pardon” from President Trump, sparing him from two life sentences, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht was spotted in a new photograph smiling broadly and carrying a small potted plant.
The new picture shows Ulbricht, his hair neatly coiffed, sporting a gray sweatsuit and carrying a white mesh bag on his back.

Ulbricht, now 40, was serving a life sentence after being convicted in February 2015 for his connection with the notorious dark web marketplace, where users could anonymously buy or sell narcotics or a wide range of other illicit items.
He was arrested in 2013 and slapped with charges including drug trafficking and conspiracies to commit money laundering and computer hacking. He was sentenced that May to two life terms in prison plus 40 years before Trump reduced his sentence to time served.
