Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht's Donation Linked to Bitcoin Mixing Service

According to PANews, blockchain analyst ZachXBT has identified that the donation address of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht received 300 BTC from the output of the mixing service Jambler. The funds are potentially connected to two addresses, 1Mp5hH and 1CNDW, which were associated with exchanges in 2014 and 2019 and flagged by compliance tools. These addresses made significant deposits to Jambler between April and May 2025, coinciding with the donation period. ZachXBT suggests that the donation was not made by Ulbricht himself, but its origin poses compliance risks.
