Silk Road, the Illegal Drug Website
Manage episode 383811777 series 3009097
The story of Silk Road, the underground website where you could buy and sell anything, is now part of internet lore. Customers could order everything from pot to meth and have it delivered to their door. Then came fake IDs, unregistered guns, poisons, and murder-for-hire. But wherever there's illegal activity and lots of money, violence isn't far behind. This episode takes you on a very quick tour of the rise and fall of Silk Road, which met its demise in 2013 when founder Ross Ulbricht got caught.
Digital Disruption with Geoff NielsonDiscover how technology is reshaping our lives and livelihoods.
