Times Square Billboard Urges Release of Silk Road Founder, Reports Cointelegraph

The ‘Free Ross’ movement has launched a billboard in New York’s Times Square as part of its campaign advocating for the release of Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace.

The Twitter account ‘Clemency for Ross’ announced that the billboard will display its message and image for several months. They noted that the billboard was financed by a “generous supporter” rather than through donations to their cause.
