Was in college when Silk Road was the thing to get good drugs. I remember a friend explaining it to me in 2011 that “you have to pay for them with these things called bitcoins it’s like 30 bucks for 1” 😂

[Kymv]

The government couldn’t control the transactions that occurred on the site. That drove them nuts.

[___]

I can never justify in my head giving ross life in prison

[Mrarmageddon]

Ross Ulbricht got life while Elizabeth Holmes gets maybe 11 and Sam Bankman-Fried gets to walk about the Bahamas and attend conferences.

[caseysmith]

Ross Ulbricht whom set up Silk Road did not actually SELL the merchandise. So he's in prison for setting up a way for people to communicate and they did illegal things.

[ILKILO]

Man really said "the good stuff" 🤣🤣🤣

[lanceroark]

Alternative explanation:
Silk Road was a tool for free people to use that we couldn’t control you with.

[Fighting_Gravity]

there were no hitmen, body parts, or weapons on silk road, thats a bullshit line to make their busting of it seem more reasonable.

[Kevin-xits]

I tried to buy some actual silk there. I came up empty.

[RonnieJamesOsbourne]

If, James Gandolfini was still alive,
he could play this guy taking down Silk Road in a movie.

[sergazykalmurzayev]

This might be the best Tor browser commercial.

[Dorkifier]

After watching this podcast I’ve concluded that this FBI agent doesn’t know the difference between gleam and glean.

Lex pretending to not know what an IP address is🤣🤣🤣

[TheWTFMatt]

i think your channel has become intel agency central, which is why youtube gives you so much free advertising and pushes you, whether you realize it or not

[LoLifeMike]

What category was murder for hire under because I definitely don’t remember that😂

[CuriousCyclist]

It was interesting how Ross ulbricht was caught. There's a lesson there for everyone. When posting on public forums watch what information you divulge and what credentials you use.

[JT-lwoh]

IMO this guy isn’t a hero but a villain or atleast a tool for the real villains.

[Trav]

Lex I can’t believe I only just discovered you and your page recently. Every single day I’m huffing it on public transportation to get to work I’m tuned in. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving
