> Interesting, Trump administration pardoned Ross William Ulbricht who run drug dealing business specifically because it was done behind Tor using cryptocurrency. So this was a one off?
Didn't Ulbricht get pardoned for being a hero of the cryptocurrency-bros, as kind of a deal to get support from the Libertarians in the election? I think he was a one-off, or at least part of a small category that doesn't extend to cryptography and privacy idealists.
He still did a decade in the slammer. I think his sentence was excessive, since he never directly harmed anyone.
Right, I was hoping that this will set some kind of precedent for legitimizing Tor.
