About This Novel
This is the incredible true crime story of a man who founded a billion-dollar internet drug empire from his bedroom and nearly got away with it. In 2011, twenty-six-year-old Ross Ulbricht launched the ultimate free market: Silk Road. It's an anonymous site on the dark web where anyone can trade cryptocurrencies for anything-drugs, hacking software, fake passports, counterfeit money, poison-without government surveillance. Silk Road quickly swelled into a multibillion-dollar enterprise, and spurred by public outcry, the U. S. Federal government launched a massive two-year manhunt. But the manhunt was elusive, with no leads, no witnesses and no clear jurisdiction. Vanity Fair reporter Nick Bilton draws on exclusive interviews with key figures and the vast digital text and images Roth left behind to tell the story of an ambitious boy next door who transformed into a criminal.
