Summary

This week Michelle tells Ash all about The Silk Road, the dark web's original one stop shop for drugs, weapons and things alike. Ross Ulbricht created the site in 2011 but his glory days only lasted for two years before he got sentenced to life in prison. So many aliases and double crossing agents, it feels more like a spy movie!
