Ross should be free and not guilty. #USA 🇺🇸 government is so corrupt!

Since we're all busy celebrating that Ross will be free Day One, did you know that the US Government is using Ross' conviction to go after Tornado Cash?

In the Tornado Cash case, the government directly cites the Silk Road prosecution, arguing that neither Ross, nor Roman Storm, needed to have conspired with the users of their software to be held accountable for the crimes they committed.

The Government calls Storm's and Ulbricht's cases "analogous" – and its the same argument applied to convict Roman Sterlingov.

Unless Ross' conviction is overturned, anyone developing software that the Government doesn't like is fair game.

The dangerous precedent his conviction set will continue to be used to be used by the US Government to overstep its boundaries and hold software developers accountable for crimes they did not commit.

Ross Ulbricht should never have been in prison. And neither should others prosecuted under the same flawed argumentation.

Freeing Ross is not enough. Overturn US v. Ulbricht day one.
