Basically he did it to get the vote of the right-libertarians. He made a promise to them.

They idolize Ross for creating a drug market because they view it as freedom of speech.

I don't think I buy this. He doesn't need to care about citizen votes anymore, and how big is the libertarian with a capital 'L' true believer block in Congress? Is there any? I'm not sure there was ever any political support for Ross Ulbricht.

Has to be something else going on here, none of the explanations in this thread are hitting it on the head for me.
