He Created The Dark Web’s Amazon Of Illegal Goods: Ross Ulbricht’s Infamous Silk Road Marketplace

In 2011, Ross Ulbricht was a 26-year-old libertarian dreamer with a computer and a billion-dollar idea - an online marketplace where users could buy and sell drugs. Thus, the Silk Road anonymous marketplace was born. But almost 3 years after the eBay of drugs launched, it was seized by the feds, and its founder was arrested. Today, we take a deep dive into this case full of twists - corrupt cops, an Oxy-dealing grandpa, and even murder-for-hire. Support our Sponsors!
