Ross William Ulbricht is an American who created and operated the illegal darknet market Silk Road from 2011 until his arrest in 2013. Silk Road was an online marketplace that facilitated the trade in narcotics and other illegal products and services.
Ulbricht was serving two life sentences plus an additional 40 years after being convicted in 2015 on multiple charges, including operating a continuing criminal enterprise and conspiracy to distribute narcotics.
His arrest by the FBI in October 2013 stemmed from his role in facilitating the sale of illegal products and services on Silk Road, which notably utilized Bitcoin for transactions. This association contributed to early perceptions of Bitcoin's links to criminal activity.
