Meer over het boek
The rise and fall of Ross Ulbricht, aka the Dread Pirate Roberts, the founder of the online black market Silk Road. In 2011, a young programmer named Ross Ulbricht launched an illicit website hidden deep on the Dark Web. The Silk Road was the ultimate free market where anyone could trade anything using Bitcoins - steroids, heroin, forged passports, counterfeit cash, poisons - free of the government's watchful eye. The Silk Road quickly ballooned into a $1.2 billion enterprise and Ross embraced his new role as kingpin, including ordering a hit on a former employee. As Ross made plans to disappear forever, the Feds raced against the clock to catch a man they weren't sure even existed, searching for a needle in the haystack of the global internet"--Publisher's description.
