To be fair - he was not pardoned for that, he could still be charged for it. He was only pardoned for crimes related to drugs.


do you know that is actually the case ? i've been trying to find the text of the pardon and haven't been able to yet. can only find Trump's description of it as "full and unconditional"

edit: i see your other comment with the context


They unfortunately have not released the text yet.

It should eventually pop up here: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemency-recipients

(among other places)


It is now there, see - https://www.justice.gov/pardon/media/1386096/dl

He was not pardoned for any crimes not charged, and therefore could still be charged.


Does this mean California could go after Ulbricht for solicitation on the murder scheme, like, tomorrow?
