Episode 291 - The Silk Road: Drugs, Data&The Dread Pirate Roberts - a podcast by True Crime with Suruthi & Hannah

For some, the end of the world's most infamous online marketplace was a major victory in the never ending war on drugs.

So prepare for a trip on the Silk Road, and find out how a tax inspector hanging out on a hallucinogenic mushroom forum caught one of the most slippery criminals we’ve ever covered.
