1/ šØ The wild story of Ross Ulbricht šØ
From physics grad to darknet kingpin, and now, a free man pardoned by Donald Trumpālet's dive into the tale of the Silk Road founder who shook the internet. š§µš
$BTC
2/ š» In 2011, Ross launched Silk Road, the infamous darknet marketplace.
It was like Amazon, but for... drugs, fake passports, and hacking tools. Payment? Bitcoin. Because, why not stay anonymous? š¶ļø
3/ Ross operated under the pseudonym Dread Pirate Roberts, inspired by The Princess Bride.
While the name was whimsical, the operations? Not so much. Silk Road facilitated over $200M in illegal transactions. š°
4/ š The FBI wasn't amused. In 2013, Ross was arrested in a dramatic sting at a San Francisco library. Imagine typing away on your laptop, and boomāgame over.
5/ Prosecutors didn't hold back:
Drug trafficking
Money laundering
Operating a criminal enterprise
They even claimed he arranged murders-for-hire (though no killings were proven). š³
6/ The verdict? Double life imprisonment + 40 years, no parole.
Ross became a poster boy for debates around internet freedom, libertarianism, and justice reform.
7/ For nearly 12 years, Ross was locked away, while Bitcoin soared in value, and Silk Road became the stuff of internet legend. But on Jan 22, 2025, a plot twist:

Trump called him a victim of "government weaponization" and granted him full and unconditional freedom. Talk about a comeback!
9/ Now, Rossās story is one of controversy:
A genius caught in a web of his own making?
A scapegoat for others' actions?
A symbol of justice reform?
10/ Whatās next for Ross? Only time will tell. One thingās for sure:
The Silk Road might be gone, but its legacyāand Rossās storyāwill live on. š

Pablo Escobar's Hidden Fortune: Devoured by Rats? šš°
At the peak of his empire, Pablo Escobar was making so much money that he reportedly lost $2 billion a yearānot to authorities, but to rats eating his hidden cash!
With more money than he could launder, Escobar stashed his fortune in secret locationsāwalls, underground, and in warehouses. But piles of paper bills weren't just hard to move; they became a feast for rodents and suffered from decay.
Despite these losses, Escobar was still making around $420 million a week, proving that for the "King of Cocaine," money was truly disposable.
š What would you do if you had so much cash that rats were eating billions of dollars? Would you find a better way to store it, or just accept the loss as a cost of doing business?
