President Donald Trump said Tuesday evening he has issued a full pardon to a man serving a life sentence for creating and running what prosecutors have called the "sprawling black-market bazaar" Silk Road.

Donald Trump has given a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht — the man responsible for founding world's first darknet market Silk Road.

Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, was convicted in 2015 for operating the online black market and sentenced to life imprisonment. He received a pardon from former U.S. President Donald Trump on January 21,
