The world's wealthiest individuals attend U.S. President Donald Trump's inauguration
00:04
on Monday, January 20, in Washington.
00:07
Among those were the world's three wealthiest individuals, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark
00:12
Zuckerberg, whose combined net worth is nearly $900 billion.
00:16
Other Forbes-listed billionaires also attended, including LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, Alphabet
00:21
CEO Sundar Pichai, and India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, all participating in the inauguration.
00:28
Meantime, on Tuesday, January 21, Trump pardoned Silk Road founder Ross Albright.
00:33
Albright was sentenced to life in prison for operating an underground online marketplace
00:37
where drug dealers and others facilitated over $200 million in illegal transactions
00:42
using Bitcoin.
00:43
Trump, fulfilling a campaign promise, calls the pardon, quote, "'full and unconditional'
00:48
and criticizes those involved in Albright's conviction."
00:51
In February 2015, a federal jury in Manhattan convicted Albright on charges that included
00:56
online drug distribution, conspiracy to commit computer hacking, and money laundering.
01:01
Albright's arrest marked the end of what prosecutors called a global black market platform used
01:05
by over 100,000 people in two years from 2011 to conduct $214 million in illicit trade,
01:12
including illegal drugs and services.
01:15
Prosecutors say some people died because of drugs bought on Silk Road.
01:18
The website allowed users to communicate anonymously and accepted Bitcoin payments, which prosecutors
01:24
argued helped conceal users' identities and locations.
