bro thinks he's walter white 💀
The way they caught him is like a scene on an action movie
Yo, even if it was in an action movie, people would say it's unrealistic. Like, it's crazy the way they caught him, I wish they recorded it and release it to the public. I need to see that.
just like when my dad left
right??? super clever
Action movies are always based on something
Imagine if Ross Ulbricht operated silk road while being a police officer the whole time. Guarantee he wouldn't get even close to a life sentence
Well he would get shit on if he was a normal cop. The ones who only got 6 years was like really high ranked homeland security and DEA
@pafoly8857 the higher their status the higher the penalty should be, they both deserved at LEAST 15 years, 6 for a standard cop which had been coerced would have made sense. The higher up you are the more people they would have had to help them out of their mess.
unnecessary comment
Cap
@@brandonbjoern9390 what
his biggest mistake was not moving to a country that doesn't have extradition laws, he kept living in the west as if he could outsmart a whole department of experts
And then he would have been just murdered by the cia.
pretty sure almost every country would extradite you if you were as important to the US as this guy, they have a lot of strings they can pull.
@@LEMON-jj5dv Wrong. There are certain countries and specific law that allows you to not obligated to stand for your crime. Roman Polanski is a good example.
@@LEMON-jj5dv nah he just needed to move to Russia or China and he would be good
@@LEMON-jj5dv Nah, Edward Swowden lives in Russia and didn't get extradite. Tho living in Russia doesn't sound fun, it sounds better than being in prison. Even Julian Assange got to live in Ecuador's embassy and didn't get extradite (until Ecuador officials couldn't stand living with him in embassy and kicked him out)
The judge obviously wanted to make an example out of him, hence the insane sentence. Even I think it was overboard, but that’s why she did it.
It's actually sick as fuck to have that power tho. Maybe I should become a judge when I grow up. It's basically a license to take lives.
@@someoneinthecrowd4313 you dont need a license to do that, druggies do it on a whim to get some cash
@@someoneinthecrowd4313 imagine the amount of people that died due to drug overdosing from silk road
@@RahulSharma-ot3woel chapo got a shorter sentence
@@ehrenhamster he got a life sentence + 30 years that mf is never going to get out jail what are u smoking?
Silk Road still remains the most honest dealer anyone had.
That's what i've been told anyway.
online reputation is a big deal
they absolutely were
yup, the following few years was countless pop-up sites that took silk roads place, every 6 months-ish they would exit scam and take everyones crypto, then a new one would pop up. the same dealers would pop up every time so you still had your same trusted guy, but everyone just got fucked every few months.
Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder how do you know that somoeone who told you? How many ounces was it

Can we stop with these cringe type comment bruh
@@jobo9020 Xqc sells hardcore drugs confirmed
funny + original
Really not funny tiktok low effort humor, we need to stop these commenters on xqcs videos cus their now the norm
I think X’s last take on the corrupt officers is really based. He’s right, they should be punished even worse than regular people because they have those positions, that’ll also make it less likely for people that only want those roles for the wrong reason to pursue them since the consequences of messing up are so bad.
Since the officers didn't actually leak info or steal directly from the government, they got off "light." However, 6 years is not easy and their lives are probably ruined anyhow because they're definitely not going to be able to work as officers anymore. Their sentence fits the crime despite ulbricht get fucked over.
It’s like speeding in a school zone 2x-3x the fines. Should equate more
Imagine being on the moral high horse about Ulbricht's privilege and giving him over 100 years, but the privilege of federal agents is only worth 6 years.
Stealing money from drug dealers = creating a worldwide drug empire. And that definitely was the same judge that sentenced them both because that would make sense
BRO it's just like breaking bad OMG!!!
@@echo5827 the dude got a longer sentence than el chapo you idiot
@@echo5827 Statistically she would have given the police officer a similar sentence as the one he ended up getting
He tried to have someone killed.
You can mess with the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, Secret Service, ATF and even Department Homeland of Security. But you never EVER run away from the IRS.
Yeah of course it was a scumbag IRS agent that brought this hero down. Instead of kids getting cancer, why couldn't this cockroach have got it instead and SR might still be up today. There's a reason Jesus put them into the same category as murderers and thieves.
I find it interesting to think about what would've happened if they kept it up. I can't help but think the drug trade would be a lot safer and there would be a lot less dead
The thing is, drugs kill more than the PROCESS of getting drugs. If only Silk Road didn’t influence more people to get drugs than it would be a positive
would be exponentially worse, only recreational, curious customers, and dealers would use silk road and those rec and curious users become addicts, and dealers make more money, because addicts arnt placing an order for a hit of meth that will arrive 7-10 days later... there going to the corner before they sober up.
@@lukyl100 no, but dealers would probably buy from the silk road. Making drugs more safe and less likely to be laced.
@@si-jd9oq Using "safe" drugs does not prevent anyone from being an addict.
The drugs would still be laced, to outcompete other SR sellers.
Am I the only one that thinks this would be such a cool plot for a show ?
sounds pretty boring tbh.
@@ovechkin100 yeah 💀💀
literally modern Breaking Bad
check out "how to sell drugs online fast"
Decent for a 1.5 hour movie, any longer and it would be boring.
They can arrest the man but not the idea, ever since Silk Road was taken down there’s like 100+ new markets thatve taken its place, alphabay and Bohemia still working today
did the quick maths if they held the bitcoin till it reached 65,000 per coin wouldve been worth 18B$ in bitcoin instead of 214M$ thats wild
Love how the judge wrote a whole speech to sentence the main guy but only 6 years were given to the agent 🕵
@@Shinymaniac he helped it and he could have possibly stopped it way earlier but didnt
I find it so funny that the IRS are always there first lmao
True but end of the day you need money and they've got an insane amount of resources to track it. Not to mention, ya know, tax is kind of what all governments need to function
Even the joker doesnt fuck with the irs
IRS even more gangster than the CIA. Ain't nobody mess with the IRS.
THE IRS Is the true scary monster, you can be on a stranded Island and they'll find you just for you to pay your taxes
scumbag thieves, that's why. They are like a rotten worm who feeds off misery. Literal worst people in the world are IRS agents and tax collectors.
I got in on the Silk Road wayyyyyy long ago before it was a thing, from Deadheads at hippie festivals. Back when most people had no idea there were any other browsers and the internet was still at the beginning of Facebook and TH-cam and that's about it. The shit my friends got off there from China/Netherlands was SO CRAZY POWERFUL. I remember once, they got loads of MDMA, and I did from them, and it came in 3 different strengths and was insanely pure. The first 2 were pretty intense, but I wouldn't even get rid of the most potent one unless it was to a seasoned drug-veteran, and even then I gave them a huge warning not to take 2 in under 2 hours or you die. It was WAY too addicting and if you mixed it with alcohol you would probably just die. Still safer than how it is now. Good job, America. Now everything is cut with F. Everyone is dying from F. Nothing has gotten better. This is like 10+ years ago and there are still no treatment centers were people can feel safe and get over their addictions. They still just die in the shadow and nobody cares, in America, while directly north, in Canada, there is SO MUCH HELP. Safe places. Needle exchanges. Etc. So glad I'm well past that chapter of my life and have been for many years, but dude, it's always going to exist. There have been 30 iterations of the Silk Road since it was *taken down*, at least.
Attacking this guy, in my eyes, is worse than declaring an infinite war on an inanimate object. You lose the second you start.
least unhinged druggie
This post is nonsense
@@CranberryGraves Can you extrapolate or do you just make baseless claims, like most?
I LOVE DRUGS!! RAHHHHH
@@CranberryGraves please elaborate why its non-sense. My small brain cant figure it out
Seeing the chat not know the difference between libertarian and liberal is hilarious
What is the difference. I have no insight on politics lmfao
@@Yay77777g for starters, the name itself is different.
@@Yay77777g "liberals" are for big government and state control over individual freedom while libertarians are for small government and wants the state to be out of peoples lives. They are above all else for individual freedom. Chat doesnt even understand basic political concepts.
@@Yay77777g this is coming from my very basic understanding of both thing, but afaik libertarian is when you believe the government should have less control over its citizen while liberal is the complete opposite where you believe the government should have more control.
@@TerryBear167 So liberals are like conservatives but they fight for the opposite ideologies? They only want individual freedom for the things they believe in.
A conservative would be pro guns and against marriage freedom and abortion, while a liberal would be the opposite?
as KalidFX has said, his biggest mistake was moving to other western countries, he could have moved to China or Russia and have worked for them possibly by creating an online marketplace for all kinds of illegal things... he could have probably contacted some higher up in their governments and telling them that he wants to work for them in exchange for freedom...
which is why i believe he didnt do these things for money, as his history shows he was a firm libertarian and that makes sense considering he created a marketplace online with no restrictions on what you can buy or not (with the exception of guns)... im in no way saying that what he did was right or that he doesnt deserve punishment but 2 lifetimes plus 40 years without parole is just too much for a non violent crime, especially for a first offender...
also considering his background of being caring and loving to his closed ones, i think he deserves to see his family in the free world, keeping someone away from their family and friends and also destroying their future for something like this is an overkill... also his message asking for freedom before he dies is actually heartbreaking, even if it is from a criminal
lmao what a trash sentencing. people murder and get less
he literally attempted multiple murders
He hired a hit on multiple people and probably indirectly killed thousands of people. Deserved.
Not anymore. This man also tried to get people murdered to feel safer
Crazy how much time they gave him, I would feel safer around this guy then the people that murder someone and get 10-15 years + early release on good behavior this guy really pissed off the Government.
But this guy attempted multiple murders...?
he deserved his sentence though, he hired a hitman to kill people for him (at least he thought)
that is besides running the biggest drug empire :D
@@Snack-Sized-Femboy but he didn’t kill anyone
@@Yay77777g The point is that he would've killed someone if he was successful. The intent is what matters.
@@Yay77777g Even threats are illegal, let alone paying for services to kill people. You think just because they didn't go through it's okay ?
ONLY 1 MISTAKE?!?!?!
Xqc sells hardcore drugs confirmed
NAILS NAAAAIIIILSSS
Dude actually used email with his real name 🤣
That was his mistake, I feel sorry for him
Bro the Bill Tin out of nowhere made me choke on my drink 😂😂😂😂
life sentence for that is fucking crazy
They were making an example of him
its not crazy tbh, he tried to get 5 people killed and ran a drug empire. he had good intentions, but still bruh
It's america!!!!
Waitin for that stream where we see XQC take all of us juicers on the Dark Web with him!
Sadly it’ll never be
🤓☝ akshually, all the pages that you visit that are not available to the general public are considered part of the dark web. You visit the dark web every day. Your private info on any account, you email inbox page, etc.
@@distant6606
STREAMING dark web browsing sounds really risky, recording would prolly be fine enough (if the juicer doesn‘t make retarded mistakes and sets his stuff up properly) but in general too risky for him for a pretty low reward. especially with what „stuff“ can pop up on screen
The one guy who said,”the judge is not the thinker” killed me☠️
For anyone wanting to watch a show like this, there is a German Netflix Production called "How to Sell Drugs Online Fast" that almost exactly uses this story as it's plot
yeah that show is pretty good and crazy sometimes, i liked how he went from a simple dealer selling 10 pills at the time to exporting massive amounts overseas
yea its based off "Shiny Flakes" which was similiar to silk road, tho smaller and based in germany. shiny flakes wasnt just operating on the dark web, but also on the clear web, which was fucking insane. still took them like 3 years to catch him
now i might be mistaken about this but i believe i read somewhere that after ordering the hit he did go back on it, telling nob not to go through with it. still, doesn't make it right but i'm sure he felt very pressed into a corner by the guy threatening to expose his empire, didn't seem like Ulbrich did much for no reason. despite his ego ramblings i suspect that he likely was one of the the most genuine drug lords we've had.
I think since 6 is such a small number, people for get the magnitude of how long 6 years actually is. That's a long ass time in a cell with midfood and crazy people.
damn hes like the real life gus fring

Damn wtf life without parole? Feel like there is more missing if the judge went that far, thats crazy.
he hired hitmen and they had to make an example out of him.
@@jamescharles5907 Implying the US federal government has not been directly implicated in pushing drugs onto their own population. They made an example out of him for stepping on their turf, end of story.
@@bbking006 Exactly. Had to show other free thinkers what happens when they attempt to play ball in their court.
The government doesnt like competition number 1 death usa is pills they sell and deal why you think big pharma only pay when they murder millions of people with their pills.
Ah the hiring hitmen thing definitely makes sense good point forgot all about that

Hi my fellow Libertarian juicer
@@praxseb4317 never expected to see one in the wild here😅
@@GeneralBlorp I guess i just spawned in
@@GeneralBlorp What's your ideology? I'm an Ancap
the fact he got more years than El Chapo is such a joke
He's only mistake was he had a Skill issue, and due to that he needed to hire someone and as he was still in the beginning of building his Empire, he left his actual email and the real name of site on the site, that led to his own demise sadge
Should have watched Count Dankula's version. Telling the story from the perspective of a Libertarian makes a massive difference.
It’s crazy the judge really tried to say he’s like any other dealer yet he made a market that was fair and far better for not being scammed or buying laced drugs so the truth is he is far from any other dealer (ignoring the parts of him trying to get ppl killed 🤦♂️)
He didn't try to get people killed. The whole hitman shit was made-up by the government. There's no proof and the government dropped those charges once they had him brought in. Stop spreading government propaganda.
Made a market that fuels a drug epidemic that kills and also tries to kill someone. Stop glorifying a drug lord.
he started silk road website and left at the beggining... if u do 1h of research u learn he was framed the person who started silkroad 2.0 got arasted and didnt do any prision time
He did not deserve life in prison. So much worse people get off with way lighter punishments. It was because he was having such an impact on the world that they gave such a big punishment.
Bro he literally gave the order to kill people
I agree with Seth, I also read his family's petition to get him released early. They severely downplay his crimes as if it was some hub for weed & shrooms. He ordered the hit on 5 people and also sold guns at one stage. Anyone buying a weapon illegally has bad intentions. I think that 30 years is a good enough sentence though.
@@seth8933 He wasn't charged with a murder that's the point you're missing. Life in prison was issues based off of these two charges; engaging in a criminal enterprise and distributing narcotics.
i like how you said this is always going to exist. thats true. when the silk road went down thousands of replacements popped up
This needs to be a movie
If they ever make a movie about him, I know who they could cast
Bro got put in a cage for life for providing a service that helped people. Aware
And for attempted murder. But let's just leave that out because that doesnt fit your narrative.
@@j.ceasar oh yeah was is him who told someone to kill the guy who got arrested? If so then fair to get years for that but I’d say 10 years max not life that wild
Providing a service that helped drug dealers who pray on the weak who take drugs which in most cases when it's meth, herorin leads to their death
@@fdfsffdsfdfsfd helped people get clean drugs and far less risky than going out into the streets. People will buy drugs either way. Better for them to do it a safer way
@@cleancut3301 He helped crack heads continue their addiction so he can make money. This argument is so stupid the main danger of drugs is the intake not the buying.

These documentaries always get a ton of info wrong about this whole story. I just want to say Ross is a legend. He was trying to protect us (the users) from getting doxxed and reported to the police by the guy extorting him. He's a hero in my eyes. A ton of innocent people couldve had their lives ruined by the guy making the threats, and Ross was just trying to help. Source: me, an active silkroad user
glowie
A hero? Man the guy used his own email.
Fucking captain underpants here to save the day.
@@j.ceasar making a mistake like that has nothing to do with him being a hero. you dont understand that Ross was the First to do anything like this. He didnt know it would become as big as it was. Nobody knew they would end up being tracked down in the way that he was. Obviously in hindsight it looks like an easy mistake but not in the reality of the time
>'active silkroad user' after 2012 lmao
ross was just a neet loser, "muh free drug use" then lives in a tiny apartment by himself. Defending untraceable hitman services behind libertarianism is braindead. Bet you think drugs only hurt the user too. Sounds great for the west, drug users shouldn't be looked down upon they should be super cool like all the (people) in your favorite movie!! "He's a hero" You're delusional
Glorifying drug dealer
Why does the sound like Near talking around the end wen they talk about what was good and bad it sounded soo cool 😮

@@notcanibus4764 i disagree with that because then that opens up the opportunity for some judges to be more sympathetic and nice than other judges. Judges have to be cold to make it fair. And most of the time, they're not sorry that they did it, but sorry that they were caught
