Summary

Using the online moniker “Dread Pirate Roberts,” or “DPR,” ULBRICHT controlled and oversaw every aspect of Silk Road, and managed a staff of paid, online administrators and computer programmers who assisted with the day-to-day operation of the site. Through his ownership and operation of Silk Road, ULBRICHT reaped commissions worth more than $13 million generated from the illicit sales conducted through the site. ULBRICHT also demonstrated a willingness to use violence to protect his criminal enterprise and the anonymity of its users, soliciting six murders-for-hire in connection with operating the site, although there is no evidence that these murders were actually carried out. -FBI.gov Until next week… BE SAFE!

1:36.3	A federal jury in New York found Ross Ulbricht guilty on all seven counts.
1:41.3	Well, he created this online marketplace. The site operated much like eBay. It allowed users to buy and sell illegal drugs, guns, and even hire hitmen. That was kind of his fatal flaw.
