For those of you that do not know, Silk Road was an online drug bazaar in the deep web that sold every drug imaginable. One man, Ross Ulbricht, was the mastermind of a billion dollar drug empire. The articles are a great read if you have the time, pretty lengthy, but if you have the time definitely worth it. Like what the man did or not you have to admit he was pretty smart to pull off what he did.

You should watch the Deep Web documentary about it. Pretty good and I agree, the guy was pretty fascinating and the whole story

It's a shame they shut it down. I need to hire a hitman.

I'd watch the documentary before calling him a glorified drug dealer. But that's just my opinion.

Would've been a better martyr story if he hadn't become a smelly hippie.

I'm not showing empathy for what the guy did, I just think it's fascinating that one man eluded the federal government for 2 years. He indirectly killed people via the drugs that were being sold through Silk Road.
