Summary

Today's episode is a replay of my interview form 2018 with Lyn Ulbricht, the mother of Ross Ulbricht. With Ross being pardoned by President Trump, I felt it was a great time to revisit this interview and to shine a light on the incredible story of a mother fighting for her son. Here's my original show notes: On today's episode of Felony Friday Lyn Ulbricht joins John Odermatt to discuss her son Ross Ulbricht's case. Ross, of Silk Road fame, was convicted of money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics by means of the internet in February 2015. He is currently serving a double life sentence plus forty years without the possibility of parole.
