On Tuesday, former President Donald Trump made waves when he finally delivered on a long-standing promise to pardon Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road. As we reported earlier this week, Ross is finally free after more than a decade of unjust incarceration for the "crime" of creating an online marketplace. Ulbricht's case has always been a glaring example of government overreach, where the punishment far exceeded any reasonable measure of justice.

While Ross's release is a monumental victory, it is just the beginning. If Trump is serious about creating meaningful, lasting change, the pardons must keep coming. There are countless people unjustly languishing in prison or facing prosecution for victimless crimes—cases that highlight the state's abuse of power and its war on those who dare to challenge it.

Here are five individuals who should be next on Trump's list of pardons.

1. Roman Storm

Roman Storm, a developer associated with Tornado Cash, has been caught in the crosshairs of federal regulators for creating software that helps people protect their financial privacy. Tornado Cash, a crypto mixer, was sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury for allegedly facilitating money laundering. However, as critics have pointed out, Tornado Cash is software, not a person, and cannot itself commit crimes.

A federal appeals court recently ruled that the sanctions against Tornado Cash were unlawful, stating that the smart contracts at its core are not "property" and cannot be owned or regulated in the way the government claims. Despite this, Roman Storm faces a legal nightmare simply for helping create a tool that gives people control over their financial autonomy. As Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said, "You created Tornado in significant part because of my suggestion that it is something worth building. It would violate basic honor for me to do that, and then fail to support you in your hour of need. In Ethereum we protect our own, and uphold our honor."
