Lyn Ulbricht: A Mother's 12-Year Fight to Free Ross Ulbricht | Free The Money Ep. 30
@lyn_ulbricht joins Free The Money to share the extraordinary story of her 12-year fight to free her son,
@RealRossU, founder of Silk Road. She reflects on the shock of Ross's double life sentence plus 40 years without parole, why she believes the punishment was politically motivated, and how a grassroots movement ultimately helped secure his freedom.
We also discuss the War on Drugs, the prison industrial complex, and the devastating impact harsh sentencing has on families and communities. Lyn explains why she founded Mothers Against Cruel Sentencing and why her advocacy continues even after Ross returned home.
The conversation then turns to the growing prosecution of privacy technology developers, the future of financial privacy, free speech, and innovation in America. From Ross Ulbricht to Roger Ver, Tornado Cash, and Samourai Wallet, we discuss how these cases are making examples of individuals whose ideas, technologies, and beliefs threaten the existing system.
This is a powerful discussion about faith, perseverance, freedom, and a mother's endless love.
Cruel sentencing policies have made the U.S. the biggest incarcerator in the world. To find out more about MACS or to help, visit:
