Smiling on his way to collect his billions in crypto wallets. I would do 11 years for that.
I’m about to learn about this significance after too much news filtering and comedians. Anyone here want to give an insightful take, context, and references?
I find it wild that Trump designated Cartels as international terrorists, said Mexico/Canada are aiding in pumping America full of Chinese fentanyl and removes the USA from WHO on the same day he pardons a guy who created one of the largest underground drug networks ever.
What the actual fuck.
It’s even more bizarre because Trump is reviving the “war on drugs” on the other hand… it just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
This guy is the biggest reason Bitcoin is as high as it is, millions of trades done in Bitcoin on his site made it valuable, and I remember the initial dip in bc value as he was arrested and the original site was taken down, at least that’s what I learned about this case back in the day when he was arrested, guy ran it from a netcafe across the street from his apartment
He’ll be the new Crypto Czar in the Trump Administration.
Sure he’s a international drug kingpin who actively tried to kill people. But he used crypto to do it, so that’s ok now.
“The Trump administration is going to be tough on drugs”
Sure.
Nobody is talking about the goddamned plant
Dude helped pedos online and move drugs online. Oh and human trafficking. Not sure how conservatives spin this
Seeing Trump pardon all these recent people and them walking free is like that bit in Ghostbusters when that asshole switches the containment unit off and the ghosts are let loose.
Mexican drug lord = terrorist
American drug lord = freedom fighter
I wonder has he a ton of bitcoin stashed
Does that mean we can buy drugs off the internet again?
Is there an explanation as to why trump pardoned him?
Sell heroin and cocaine across the world? Do white people’s time.
Elmo’s most reliable ket plug
Will be secretary of memecoins by next week.
Would these be the clothes he arrived at prison in?
Soon the only criminal act will be failing to swear allegiance to trump. See y’all in prison, I guess.
I’m confused, are drug traffickers good or bad according to the newest Trump/Putin talking points? It’s hard to keep up.
What is baffling is that his crimes are no different from many drug distributors – his sentence was very severe but he’s waving goodbye to many in prison with lesser crimes and equally harsh sentences. I understand that the libertarians will be happy, but surely conservatives should be furious at this? But I’m guessing because Trump did it that its all hand waved away.
Did he go to real prison? He looks like he just got home from vacation.
But no Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, if he’s truly against the deep state, id think these 2 would be at the top for exposing our government.
I thought Republicans hated criminals.
