More than $200 million in drugs was sold across 13,000 listings on Ross Ulbricht’s online marketplace Silk Road, between 2011 and 2013, according to court documents. And now, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris claims fentanyl was part of Ulbricht’s repertoire in her new book “107 Days,” that details her failed bid for the U.S. presidency last year.
“The Justice Department is going after Trump’s enemies list,” Harris explains in an excerpt of the memoir provided by libertarian publication Reason. “While Trump supporters have been pardoned and released: January 6 rioters who attacked police, the fentanyl dealer Ross Ulbricht, numerous tax cheats,” she adds.
The 41-year-old Texan was indeed pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump on January 21, 2025 after serving nearly twelve years of a double life and 40-year sentence. But when Ulbricht caught wind of Harris’s accusations of being a hawker of fentanyl, he bucked back, calling the former vice president “a sore loser.”

“You called me ‘the fentanyl dealer’ in your new book and attacked President Trump for freeing me after more than *ELEVEN* years in prison,” Ulbricht wrote on X. “Yet, I wasn’t prosecuted for dealing drugs myself and fentanyl wasn’t part of my charges.”
Ulbricht is right; fentanyl was never mentioned in any of the court documents related to his trial. However, court records clearly state that “opioids,” the class of drugs fentanyl falls under, were readily available on Silk Road. It’s not clear if Harris is stretching the truth or if Ulbricht is simply maintaining plausible deniability, but it seems the Silk Road creator is claiming it’s the former.
“The truth has never mattered to you. The goal is just to make me and President Trump look bad at all cost[s], isn’t it?” Ulbricht wrote. “Don’t be a sore loser, Kamala.”
