The Silk Road & Crypto Connection

May 11, 2023

Dear Reader,

Remember Ross Ulbricht?

The infamous owner of the Silk Road.

A dark web marketplace where shady drug deals took place.

Oh... and the place where Bitcoin became the preferred underground currency.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ulbricht is serving two life sentences.

Plus 40 years to boot.

The long arm of the law caught up to him for his illegal marketplace operation.

The irony is that Ulbricht himself got hacked by one James Zhong.

Zhong nabbed the equivalent of $3.4 billion worth of Bitcoin in today's money.

(His crime took place almost 11 years ago).

Well, the long arm of the law caught up to Zhong too.

He'll be serving just one year for the hack.

Which is a shame when considering that legal crypto profits are available every day.
