Ten years ago to the day, I was sentenced to die in prison. Instead I gave my first public speech in freedom.
I wore a red tie as an homage to @realDonaldTrump, the man who saved my life.

Sentenced to die in prison. Pardoned by President Trump after spending 4,130 days (11+ years) in max security. Freedom is sweet!

- Had a vivid dream early this morning. I was sent back to prison on some technicality. It felt so real that when I woke up, I really thought I was in a cell. Then the truth hit me. I was next to my wife in our big comfy bed. Freedom washed over me all over again.
- One year ago today, a prison guard banged on my cell door and said: YOU'RE FREE!! After more than 11 years under a life sentence, I walked out of max security prison with Leaf Erikson, the plant I was growing in my cell. Leaf and I are so grateful for our second chance at life.
- These men created tools of freedom and financial independence. They wrote code and ran businesses. They are good people. They were rewarded with federal prison sentences. Keonne Rodriguez William Hill Ian Freeman Roman Sterlingov Roman Storm Free the crypto prisoners.
- I get to spend today with my family. First Thanksgiving in freedom! SO much to be thankful for. Enormous gratitude and thanks to all of you who made this a reality.
