Well in any case, Ross Ulbricht got what he deserved. Now he'll spend the rest of his life wearing an ankle bracelet.
You appear to be confused about the difference between a pardon and parole (and even parole doesn't entail monitoring "for life").
Also, your response didn't respond to what I said (which was about previously only responding to a straw man I didn't say). I like to think we strive in good faith for a little higher level of discourse here on HN. Try to do better.
Are you sure this is the right forum for you?
Regardless of Ross Ulbricht's crimes, the pro's and con's of the pardon deserve considered discussion.
Are you bringing thoughtful and interesting considerations to this thread?
For example; will he actually wear an ankle bracelet for the rest of his life under the terms of a full and unconditional pardon?
