Ross Ulbricht built one of the largest anonymous drug marketplaces in internet history, where people bought fentanyl, heroin, and cocaine. People died using drugs purchased through it, and federal prosecutors called it the most sophisticated criminal marketplace the internet had ever seen. He was serving two life sentences for it.
 
On day two of his presidency, Trump pardoned him. Then he went online and called the prosecutors who put him there scum.

Offensive how some claim the Trump administration is "corrupt".
Trump has now issued only 1,800 pardons in his second term, in Trump's new Pardon Industrial Complex. Job Creator.
Lobbyists charge $1M standard to pursue one, with success fees up to $6M.
Over half have gone to white-collar criminals -- fraud, money laundering, tax evasion.
Victim restitution wiped: $1.3 billion.
There were zero lobbying registrations for pardons in the first year of any previous presidency.
Now there are ten.
The numbers speak for themselves.
