My Rating: 4.5
Ross Ulbricht, a 26 year old Libertarian programmer launched the ultimate free market: the Silk Road. A clandestine Web site hosted on the Dark Web where anyone could trade anything—drugs, hacking software, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons—free of the government’s watchful eye using untraceable bitcoin. After the media started sharing stories on this illegal unmonitored website, the
Federal Government launched a manhunt for the site's owner who went by the moniker The Dread Pirate Roberts.
While this book went in to a LOT of detail, it helped you understand all the of the Government agents involved and their frustration in trying to capture someone that only existed online. It was a crime unlike any other, both in it's caliber and anonymity. I definitely recommend listening to the audio version to keep you engaged.
