THE INSANE STORY OF SILK ROAD - The illegal online marketplace on the darkweb, where you can buy ANYTHING imagine... Welcome to: "A Journey Into The Dark Web: The INSANE Story of Silk Road".
Beneath the normal internet we all know - like TH-cam, Facebook, and Google - there lies the dark web - an anonymous unregulated world, with websites not accessible from search engines, a hidden corner of the internet where anything goes. For a while, the biggest site on the dark web was Silk Road, an online black market for all kinds of illegal goods and services. But what’s perhaps most surprising of all about this, is who was behind this illegal empire. Meet Ross Ulbricht, Silk Road's creator. Ross grew up in a loving family in Texas. He was a boy scout as a kid, studied physics at university, and was thought of as a very sweet guy by all his friends and family. So, imagine their shock, when they realized Ross was the criminal mastermind behind the largest online drug empire in history, responsible for over $1.2 billion dollars worth of sales of illegal goods and services. Not just that, but this sweet kid had reportedly paid hit men to kill his enemies.… Or, did he? To this day there is debate over whether Ross is guilty or not.
In this Silk Road documentary, we’re going to dive into the murky world of the dark web and explore the true story behind the infamous Silk Road marketplace. We’re also going to look at how the government really managed to track down Ross, despite the fact that Ross was using the Tor browser which made him completely anonymous. How do you find someone who can’t be tracked? This is a true story filled with mysteries, twists and even a couple of corrupt government agents. Welcome to the fascinating story of the Silk Road website on the dark web. (aka: The Story Of SILK ROAD: A Journey Into The Dark Web - How They Caught The Silk Road Kingpin by MagnatesMedia).

Hey legends, I’m sure some of you are familiar with the history of Silk Road already, but honestly the full in-depth story is fascinating. It just keeps getting crazier the more it goes on. 😅
Anyway, I really hope you enjoy. And if you do, I highly recommend checking out this video afterwards: th-cam.com/video/eDbge9-aqmc/w-d-xo.html (it’s the story of the Bitcoin billionaires, and ties in very nicely with the story of Silk Road!)

Thank you for always making awesome documentaries! Your videos have heavily helped me with my essays. And not just that, it's very entertaining to watch these.
Netflix should just hire you.
I made my channel shortly before you began to blow up, and it was an inspiration to see the quality and information in your videos. While I had IRL things to deal with over the past year, I'm glad to see you went from under 5k subs to over 300k, proving it's possible.
I can imagine the amount of hours and work that went into a 44 min video of this quality and depth. You're an inspiration.
I don't even know what to say, you're the best man
Hey man, where do you source your movie clips from? Appreciate your content!
One thing we all could learn from this is... If you do something illegal... Never tell your wife or girlfriend!!
Same with the mystery big robbery in England only solved because gf got mad at bf having another girl and rapped to the cops.
..considering that's not what got him busted, that's hardly the lesson here.. The lesson is: always use a fake name/email when doing something illegal.
that was his first bad decision
And also know when to cash out and have a normal life.
Oi came here with the intention of saying exactly this. Wild
Imagine having an illegal drug and weapon empire and getting it ended by a guy named Gary because you said yea instead of yes.
And because you weren't smart enough to just always use fake names and make an email without your government name in it 😂
bro used his real name for everything
Lmao 😂 I just can’t believe he thought it was a good idea to send info over the web and not meet in person in secluded areas while holding literally millions of 🤑

@@PurpleKaf that type of mushroom is like weed so it is a substance
@@I.D.G.A.F_girlwhat is your point.? It's nature
The fact an IRS agent discovered the true identity of Ross before the FBI or DEA did is so funny to me. When there's money, the IRS will be there first
Rex Tom, FBI Director of Investigative Publicity, stated in 2006 about the FBI's position:
“The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”
This is why the Joker is terrified of the IRS
If someone ever tells me “you NEED to do something” I tell them I don’t have to do shit but pay taxes and die
And that's everywhere, here in Mexico SAT (like the IRS but here) finds everybody before the other government agencies and when you are in trouble with them, you really are in trouble lol.
Dude thank you for this comment it had me rolling 🤣
I'm not ashamed to admit that I thought this video was about the actual silk road, but this story was so much better

Napoleon once said "If you want to keep a secret, don't tell anyone..."
Genius.
Common sense one would think
@@nemoianpaw9929sometimes the most obvious things go un noticed
Three people can keep a secret; if two are dead, and the first one learned his lesson after only telling one person.
I’ve always said there’s 2 things that will get u caught up in life (as far as illegal activities go) one is telling someone what ur doing, and the other is getting greedy with what ur doing.
If your going to do something bad don't tell anyone
Sun tzu-
“How are they supposed to leave a bad review if they’re dead?”
Julia seriously underestimates the tenacity of an anonymous internet user to provide negative feedback.
lol. That's great. All jokes aside....when it comes to drugs it's kinda on each person to know their own limits and to be careful. You can't possibly regulate everyone from doing what they are going to do. If they don't order drugs on silk road they will order or find them somewhere else if they so choose. The "war on drugs" is the perfect example of this. Drug use and incarceration rates have gone up and up since the government has gone after it more and more. They literally create the problem they claim to want to solve with these policies. It's quite literally crazy to try and stop people from wanting to experience a high of some sort or another. It's embedded in our genetics to do so.

😂
10/10 can confirm i died 7 years ago
i died halfway through and still disliked the video
The fact that an IRS agent is the one who cracked the case shows how determined the IRS is with tracking people down 😂 and also the fact that Ross forgetting the post with his email address in it from 2 years beforehand which ultimately led to him being discovered is tragic
His biggest mistake was not cashing out and handing over the site to a new Dread Pirate Roberts once he realized the heat was on. Smart guy like him with tens of millions, he had plenty of money to retire and work on legit start ups.
Have you heard the recent happenings at the IRS? They're hiring tens of thousands of people explicitly to do door to door raids and purchasing thousands of ar15s.
Well the only two certainties in life are death and taxes
I believe they had the NSA track him down.
@@Humble-iq5ue they probably did 😂 they knew both NSA and IRS can track down anyone 😂
I've heard this story from several channels by now, but this one is truly most captivating! For one, the host allows himself to treat the person in question as protagonist instead of being slicky about it, and so the viewer can understand the story on more levels, including compassion. In modern days almost all media outlets act as if they're judges instead of journalists, attaching their judgement to everything they say, trying to push one or another agenda. It became really rare when human beings are treated as human beings and facts are given as is, without staining (or outright spoiling) them with the politically "correct" tint. Good job.
Nexpos is better
Here goes the award winner for the century's best comment. 🎉
I mean.. there's opinions and tints in this video as well. He does potray Ross as a good person trying to do good in the world. And I'm not saying that Ross was a villain. But that's the thing about storytelling. You can never be truly unbiased. The narrator is sympathetic to Ross' ideology and it shows. Again - I'm not saying that is wrong.
@@tejasparanjape9813I think the point is that the narrator humanizes the subject instead of criminalizing them.
It's crazy how the more I study the Gov the more I understand why ppl do things that are 'illegal'
for real man I abominate the idea of other human beings having such kind of influence and control over me
I am a straight-laced, religious prude. I never so much as say naughty words (and my "naughty" list is longer than most people's LOL). But I have zero respect for laws. I follow them so I don't go to jail, but they have zero legitimate authority. This case breaks my heart. The people who put him in jail are evil. THAT is what my religious beliefs and common sense tell me.
@@AubreyWilkinsWurstenfor real, the cabaal of plutocrats that rule the government have laws to keep us alive so they can farm us of taxes, as soon as anyone becomes a nuisance they won't hesitate to kill
@@AubreyWilkinsWurstenHe's also evil

As a web developer, it takes a different level of incompetency to leak an IP via bad code, its almost so unfathomable that it would probably have to be done intentionally. It’s much more likely the US government illegally tracked the ip using backdoors they created to their own system.
Ah makes sense . It doesn’t make sense the documentary really seems more like a cover story lol
@@abr5819 I don’t think he’s covering, he’s just telling the information as it is publicly known; I commented a likely story, but not a definite or proven one. It’s probably best as a TH-camr to not push theories unless you specifically state that they are just theories. It’s also pretty important to note that this dude wasn’t very smart, he chose to work on the world’s most illegal website in libraries and cafes lol; the only reason I actually do question the “ip leak” is because it is said that he had real and specialized developers verifying his code and helping him improve it, that’s where my doubts lie.
Since there was an investigator who infiltrated and became an admin, I 10000% believe this to be true

Damn, this is God-level editing and storytelling! No one, as of now on TH-cam, would be able to even engage viewers the way you do. Keep posting, you are an inspiration to many.
I have a few doubts about the corrupt agent.
How come the bribed agent working on the case didn’t inform Ross that he was under surveillance and operation that followed.
Even if he did not suspect that Ross was the Silk Road boss, he should have kept him informed on this since
It concerns his extra income
cuz he was getting paid bigger by PERDUE PHARMA..only to then be cut out by black tar herion....lmao you cant make this shit up
He had been scammed way too much about the murders, he was just scamming him some more
Unless this agent was also undercover and decided to take the pay.
I'm fascinated that the ex-girlfriend and her friend weren't the ones that led to his arrest but his own slip ups.
Can't be too sure. Someone needs to point out those "slip ups"
@@frimmbits HAHAHA didn't you watch the video?! HAHAHA

Woah
Correction: you could not buy/sell items that weren't drugs. Otherwise your item would be shut down from the inventory. The rumor that you could buy such items or services were most likely made from confusion over other websites similar to the Silk road that would have no limits on what could be sold/buy.
Yes this is true it’s actually said so much that I forgot about that part
That is not true at all. If you look at a snapshot of the website you will clearly see that there are multiple categories of items available for sale, although 70% of it was drugs.

Very high production quality videos. Well done!
In order to protect your identity one of the first MAJOR things people were taught when the internet began was to NEVER use your real name online. Hence why "screen names" exist. Rookie mistake by Ross. What a slip up.
Rookie mistake...

The same way cops thought they could steal from this dude because they figured they would never get caught, it's the same reason why do many people claim they had 200k during their arrest but the cops say "no money was found on scene of arrest". This happens every day in every part of the world including united states where they take you cash and later either deny it or report a much much lesser amount and keep the difference.
The type of people that WANT to be cops. Really makes you think
They stole my cash, car and items that they wanted when they raided my place- office and home. I was found innocent of all charges. Never got anything back except my laptop.

I had a history project back in school, on the actual Silk Road and trade routes from China. I had to write about 3 different benefits that the Silk Road provided. I remember being very confused in high school after I simply typed in "silk road 3" to my browser, and google was suspicious that I was a bot. Now, after watching this video, I understand lol.
Who just types the broad topic they are researching into Google? Would you not try to find historical websites with more specific questions? "Silk road 3" would not yield anything very constructive even if the illegal drug trade didn't exist.
He was probably in like 5th grade or something.
Brilliant vid man. What a mental story 😮 There needs to be a film made about this.
Absolutely amazing documentary. This is flawless, absolutely intriguing.
Walter White and Ross Ulbrichts story are almost similar. Ross got caught by accidentally writing his mail, Walt got caught by accidentally leaving a book on his toilet.
This Ross case wasn’t about the people that got killed or addicted by using the Silk Road. It was about the government having a personal problem with Ross’ leverage.
How?
and this is also what happens to people who create crypto.
@@neferpitou. I wouldn't entertain conspiracy theorists...they have a way of justifying every argument they make, whether it sounds nonsense talk to others or not, it works in their minds, so they talk themselves into believing it's fact.

This story is so crazy and interesting, I heard about Silk Road around the time Ross was arrested but I didn’t know all the crazy details until watching this. I definitely think those crooked agents should’ve gotten much more longer sentences for the part they played. Great job with the production and details of this video and this case
If only he set up in China, then US judges can't get him as long as CCP gets a part of the deal.

You make one of the best videos dude. Really appreciate it
So the govt agents got 6 years and Ross got 240 years… seems fair. To me if a federal agent is caught using their position for power and corruption THAT should be minimum life sentence.
I’ve heard this story 3 times and actually saw the movie but I was still confused (maybe I’m just a simpleton). I didn’t understand that it was one government guy that was killing or rather not killing all those people and a different one being the mole.

Yup. Same here.
Me too.
Same! I am familiar with this topic but his videos are so well done and I know Ill enjoy it.
Shit I knew everything he said outside of the 2 rogue agents, it was just entertaining as hell to listen to for some reason lol.
I've always felt like the sentence Ross was handed was pretty steep. I could definitely see 20 years then parole... But life with no parole is pretty brutal. That's just my take anyway... It's a very fascinating story and I've recently read the book "American Kingpin" which covers this entire case very thoroughly. Good video. New subscriber! 👍
This comment gives out the same vibes as ross' initial take on matters that led to him getting himself into more trouble....I suggest you tread lightly soldier
They just wanted to make an example out of him.
I don’t agree, The judge even repeated the part of ordering the murder of 5 people, if you take that part into account then he go what he deserves. This guy probably would have kept “ordering” murders maybe even actually get someone killed.
He tried to kill at least 5 people. His website led to people buying drugs that ruined people's lives. He's responsible for more damage and carnage than you think. It's short sited to see why the sentence was this harsh, and copycat idiots won't pop up when they hear about this story
i think he 100% deserved it. He allowed people to sell human body parts.
Genuineley one of the best documentaries i have seen
I learned a couple things from this if your gonna run a illegal business do your business somewhere private really private and another thing never keep hard evidence like chats and especially diaries
And don't tell a soul
There is a missing girl, 26 years old, and she was missing in a very strange way. When her mother went to look for her, the policemen and the FBI were not cooperative, on the contrary, they wanted to hide the evidence, and even the lawyers were rejecting this case, and they also found the remains of the bones of this girl, but not complete. The skull was separated from the spine, and they did not find the whole bones, and the details of the story are very shocking. We want justice for this girl, Jawaher Al-Hajji.
I’m intrigued. Where can I find the details of this?
@@dhaqabk4022 same...her name is right there...hit up google, is what I'm about to do.
There will be no justice, after all, if the FBI wants to hide something, it means someone is powerful behind it.
@@tude17 I think its in the island with the other victims of the ultra wealthy. They always win anyways.
I have to say the key to this channel is the narration. Oh the stories are great but it's how they are told. Such passion, such nuancances, pitch perfect, inflections on point...Keep up the good no excellent work!!
Just came across this Video. Outstanding Work.
The problem with this case was the timing. Ross was ahead of his time. I live in Miami, I don’t consume drugs, I’m not even sure how legal it is here, but I see plenty of stores around the city selling weed (or at least weed equivalents like Delta 8). What is the difference between that and this Silk Road? Timing is everything in life.
Murder for one
Amazon vs a little grocery store…. Maybe?
Come on man. Weed is an entirely differently animal than coke/fentanyl
Cause those stores are only selling weed - basically the safest drug out there.

The father of the kid who died gave a speech at my high school a few years ago. He is so brave for coming up in front of many people who are the same age his child was at his death to help protect future generations and help us learn from his story.
mayve he needed to vent it was his child..maybe do it before your child dies...esp when its from perdie phaarma and then black tar herion...they dont give shit about drigs..thjey love them...as long they sell them. no one bought from silk road
Yeah what Ross did through Silk Road the Canada British Columbia government gives these illegal substances for free now. And to underage kids without parental consent. You guys got to google it, hell on earth. The police for all of last year stood in front of the court house and give away ur choice of cocaine, heroine or crack. It’s legal here to use and carry and sell. I pray no one copies Canada bc these little kids are all dying from fentanyl and meth young young 😢 and the government gives it away free without parental consent now it’s legal
So glad i came across this channel many months ago. The documentaries posted on here are best to none. From the downfall of YAHOO to silk road. Even though I've never heard of silk road before i still watched all 44 minutes of the video. The story telling is on another level!
I was vaguely familiar but this is fascinating
Best to none?
I love these longer videos from you. Immensely entertaining and so well put together!
Great show

Youre definitely good at your craft. Been binge watching your videos for 3 days straight. This is good stuff
Fantastic video.
Bought some cracking sniff from the Silk Road back when I was a youngster, simpler times.
😂😂😂
Do not change narrators like Jake Tran did,
Do not streamline your videos, take time in making the videos, keep up with the amazing story telling so whoever is writing the script: don’t replace them with proper training
Jake who?
@@somerandomfella just a TH-camr who was once decent but now just tries to scam his viewers
Edit: though I don't think you were actually asking hehe
@@ImGodTheMaryBanger yeah fr
No, instead let TH-camrs do what they want. Their obligation isn’t meant for attention recognition, the moment you start requesting inconvenient suggestions only makes the content unfair. Everyone who does in-depth documentaries are not and will never be another Jake Tran, stop enforcing selfish expectations on those whom already have a loyal audience that accept things as remain. Your in no position to exercise that authority against someone anyway thus you have no right too nor neither is anyone else, if the guy wants to enjoy the fruits of his labor then we shouldn’t feel entitled being selfish. Whatever helps this channel grow exponentially is all due considered under whoever is in charge, because we’d be hypocrites if suggested what’s only convenient amongst us
@@rodneygee you make a great point. But yall just chill out and enjoy the content whilst it's still good.
Once again, astonishing work. Thanks a lot for this content!
As a decades-long enjoyer of illegal drugs, it saddens me that I didn't know about the Silk Road until it was over.
Excellent video
One of the best stories on this channel, and probably the best editing out of anything yet! =)
This is seriously the best channel on TH-cam! It’s like I’m watching a movie I got goosebumps from this!
GREAT VIDEO!
he video editing style is so complex I love it
Your content is literally mind blowing! I was glued to my Laptop screen for the entire duration of the video!
Fascinating storytelling and work putting it all together.
Morale of the story: if you wanna impede in the government business, be a smart Alec first. But of course the gov have illicit tools to know things including use of magic. You can ask Edward Snowden if in doubt.
Thanks for this production 🙏
amazing doco, very insisghtful
Amazing content
Can you just imagine how Ross felt when he realized that whole argument in the library was for him, watching his laptop being taken away? He must have pissed his pants.
Ross got the right sentence for one reason only. He thought he had five people killed.
What’s worse: the 5 people Ross THOUGHT he killed, or the literal hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people the government that arrested him has killed for worse reasons?
That's attempted murder and the only real crime he committed. The sentence is over the top, pedophiles and violent offenders who actually ruin people's lives get a couple years in nicer prisons and get out early lol what a joke.
He lead to the indirect deaths of thousands brudduh
That part was so funny he just thought he was bad ass 😂😂😂😂😂
@@sidneyrobinson18eh it’s the people who’s buying the product’s fault
People overhype SR too much, only drugs were allowed(which is even more strict than current markets)
Dang, if only he found a way to pay taxes on his website he wouldn't have gotten caught

Mind blowing for sure 😊
