I had heard of it but never looked at it or bought anything on it...

but this weekend I started this dive into true stories from the internet or weird stories that end up being true etc.

Came upon this video on that while is an hour long it contains a lot of messages and such.

Spoilers:
Dude ordered a hit, was a fake by the FBI.

Dude then got scammed by one person for over 700,000 dollars AND thought he had ordered the hits of 6 more people. None of which were real.

Wait was there never a real hit? I was listening to that yt video a long time ago but never finished it for some reason. I could've sworn things started with an actual hit on some guy who I think was scamming buyers

At least the narrator leads you to believe that at first. Maybe I'm just misremembering. The presentation was so visceral and straightforward and I was shocked that there may really exist gangs out there with online wings that will just disappear a body reliably for <$1 mil

I think that one just ended because of naval advancements. Which in turn crippled the Ottoman empire. Geopolitics are super interesting and imo underlooked in a lot of casual analysis

I would ask if the cyber Silk World has been replaced yet but I don't wanna be modded lol

I guess it isn't like 100 percent "HERES THE ANSWER" but the research kind of heavily implies. I'm also reading a book on it ( i think it was recommended in this video actually) but Ross did order the hit of someone (his first hit) and it turned out it was fake and the FBI was involved in helping fake it.

The Silk Road is like THE most infamous dark web website. Black Market Ebay.

I tricked everyone in with a secret double meaning. They don't know if I mean the dark web or the world famous trade route.

I used TSR all the time. Drug Dealers were fucking furious over it. Why risk getting shot or sick from tainted drugs when you can do it online?
