Description

efore the feds kicked in the doors, before the headlines screamed “Dark Web Drug Kingpin,” Ross Ulbricht was a Texas kid with big ideas about freedom, privacy, and personal choice. But when he turned those ideas into Silk Road—a billion-dollar black market hidden in the depths of the internet—he set off a digital revolution that shook the world. This is the true story of how a soft-spoken libertarian became the most wanted man online, outsmarted the system for years, and ultimately paid the price with a life sentence. No parole. No second chance. Just a laptop, a dream, and the digital crime saga that changed the internet forever.
