Part 1 of the Dark Web: The Silk Road & Ross Ulbricht (AKA The Dread Pirate Roberts)

The Dark Web, not surprisingly, is a dark place. It’s easy to hide things in the dark--like illicit drugs and guns, but it can also serve as a safe haven for political dissidents and whistle-blowers who need the anonymity that this dark place provides. 

Ross Ulbricht, AKA the Dread Pirate Roberts, used this place to promote a truly free marketplace for anything and everything that anyone could want. A Libertarian through and through, was Ross a pawn in a game or was he the cunning Kingpin that evidence suggests?

This week, hosts Kevin and Amy explore the complex world of the Dark Web, cryptocurrency, and the elusive Dread Pirate Roberts of the Silk Road website in this multi-part episode. Join us!
