38) Silk Road w/ Eileen Ormsby
Episode description
In 2011 the Silk Road paved the way for selling drugs on the dark web. Here, anyone anywhere could buy any drugs they wanted safely and anonymously. What looked like an innocent libertarian marketplace for users had a dark underbelly. Eileen Ormsby, journalist and author of 8 books covering the dark web came on the show to discuss what was the Silk Road. Ormsby covered everything from law enforcement, to Dread Pirate Roberts, and even the Mongoose.
