For those who want to read more about the Silk Road story, including everything in this post, check out the book "American Kingpin" [0].
It's a great read and a real page turner. It tells you about Ulbricht, his accomplices, everyone chasing him, etc. Reads like a novel.

- jameskegel 9y agoHaving just finished this book about 2 months ago, I tend to agree. My only gripe is that the book is about 20% too long. There is a lot of what I call "fluffing", like when I had a book report with a simple topic and a high word-count minimum
- thousandautumns 9y agoYeah if the book is too lengthy, the author also authored a series of articles for Wired (I believe) a couple years back that are pretty in depth and a great read and serve as the basis for the book. I highly recommend them.
- astura 9y agoIs this it? https://www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-1/ https://www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-1/ It's not written by him but it contains this: >This article includes reporting by Nick Bilton, whose book on the Silk Road case will appear in 2016
