Lots of people celebrating that Ross Ulbricht will be free are also calling for Trump to free Roman Storm, Roman Sterlingov, and Samourai.

But neither Storm, Sterlingov, nor Samourai will be freed unless Ross' conviction is overturned – because the US Government is using Ross' conviction to prosecute them.

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 overstep 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.
