Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht Scores 300 BTC Windfall—Because Crime Apparently Pays in Crypto

In a twist that’ll make regulators seethe, convicted Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht just pocketed a 300 Bitcoin donation—worth roughly $20 million at today’s prices. The darknet pioneer’s prison wallet just got a whole lot heavier.

Who says crime doesn’t pay? Ulbricht’s Bitcoin bonanza arrives as institutional investors beg for ETF approvals. Meanwhile, the original crypto outlaw stacks sats from behind bars—proving decentralization cuts both ways.

Funny how these ’unregulated risks’ keep making millionaires. Maybe the SEC should focus less on spot ETFs and more on prisoners outperforming hedge funds.
