This man got 300 bitcoins randomly sent to him after coming out of prison 🤯


Ross Ulbricht founded Silk Road, one of the first major darknet marketplaces using Bitcoin
He was arrested in 2013, sentenced to life without parole + 40 years, then pardoned by Donald Trump in 2025 after serving about 11 years
Months after release, he auctioned his prison items on a Bitcoin collectibles marketplace: prison ID cards, prison clothes, paintings, notebooks and personal belongings
His final prison ID sold for 5.5 BTC, worth around $575K at the time, the full auction made around 11–12 BTC, over $1M+
Here’s the crazy part, an anonymous wallet sent him 300 Bitcoin ($31M+) after the auction, no one know who did it till this day👀
BTC-0.66%
AUCTION-4.77%
