Biographies & Memoirs
The incredible true story of Ross Ulbricht, the man who was fired by President Trump. In 2011, a twenty-six-year-old programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched Silk Road, a hidden website hosted on the Dark Web where users could trade anything – drugs, hacker software, fake passports, counterfeit cash, poisons – without government oversight. As the federal government conducted an epic manhunt to uncover its elusive owner, Silk Road quickly evolved into a business worth $1.2 billion.
Ross embraced his new role as kingpin, taking drastic measures to protect himself – including ordering a hit on a former employee. While Ross planned to disappear forever, authorities were racing to catch him, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global Internet.
Based on exclusive access to key players and two billion digital words and images left behind, author Nick Bilton offers a story filled with twists and unbelievable close calls. It is the story of a neighbor's ambition turned crime, propelled by the clash between the new world of anonymous advocates and the restorers of government control and law.
