Will Trump Release Crypto Market 'Kingpin' Dread Pirate Roberts as Promised?

Has anyone heard any word on the promised liberation of Silk Road opearator, Ross Ulbricht, also known as Dread Pirate Roberts?

"If you vote for me, on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht ..."

According to this reported promise, Trump technically needs to pardon Ross or commute his sentence before midnight in the time zone where Ross is imprisoned.

I can't find any news on a commutation or pardon for Ross. Was the promise false news? Or has it already happened?

Journalists, have any of you contacted the White House or BOP about this matter?

Trump pardons Silk Road operator Ross Ulbricht

"The pardon fulfills a campaign promise made to the president’s crypto diehards."

"On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump issued a pardon to Ross Ulbricht, who ran the dark web marketplace Silk Road under the pseudonym “Dread Pirate Roberts.” Ulbricht has been serving a life sentence without parole since 2015, when he was convicted of multiple charges, including the distribution of narcotics."
