Harris and Jonah Tulis, known for their work on Console Wars, have compiled over 60 hours of interviews with Ulbricht recorded during his time in federal prison.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/ross-ulbricht-pardoned-silk-road-founder-documentary-1236114778\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">documentary<\/a><\/strong>, slated for release in 2025, explores Ulbricht\u2019s transformation from an Eagle Scout to the mastermind behind a global online marketplace that sparked a massive law enforcement operation. Harris described the project as an opportunity to uncover the lesser-known aspects of Ulbricht\u2019s story, while Tulis emphasized its potential to challenge common misconceptions about him and the events surrounding Silk Road.<\/p>\n<p>Ulbricht\u2019s journey began in 2011, when he launched Silk Road, a platform facilitating anonymous trade in goods and services, including illegal substances. In 2013, his operation came to an abrupt end with his arrest in a San Francisco library. Convicted on multiple charges, including conspiracy to traffic narcotics, money laundering, and computer hacking, he received a life sentence without parole.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/circle-ceo-predicts-trump-will-empower-banks-to-embrace-digital-assets\/\" title=\"Circle CEO Predicts Trump Will Empower Banks to Embrace Digital Assets\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/trump-sp-500-bitcoin-240x170.jpg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">Circle CEO Predicts Trump Will Empower Banks to Embrace Digital Assets<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>His release in January 2024 followed a decision by former U.S. President Donald Trump to commute his sentence after nearly 12 years behind bars.
