He ran a website on the Dark Web called The Silk Road, he went by the name Dread Pirate Roberts from the movie “The Princess Bride”, on that website, using bitcoin, drugs of any kind could be bought and sold and shipped to you directly.
It was sort of like the Ebay of the Dark Web.
It was alleged he hired hitmen to murder rivals or people who might have ratted on him, although the government never charged him with anything to do with hitmen or murder.
He got life without parole, what did him in IMO was he embarrassed the Government and politicians, and they made an example out of him.
The worst crime you can commit is to cut into the government’s business.
Thanks.
Where and what exactly is the ‘dark web’? I’ve heard the term many times, but I really don’t know.
