Never heard of him. What did he do that’s landed him in numerous prisons?

On the Dark Web, he ran a website called “The Silk Road”, it was basically a site similar to Ebay except you could get just about anything on the website, any type of drug, weapons, etc....all paid for with Bitcoin which made everything anonymous...

The Government eventually had an all out effort to catch him, he was eventually caught in SFO in a public library and was actively administering the site when arrested....

The Government alleged he issued contracts on a few people to have them killed, however when he eventually went on trial he was never charged with murder or conspiracy to commit murder...

He basically flaunted what he was doing and the Government got mad and managed to put him away for life....
