Read more: Silk Road murder-for-hire target is writing a memoir
The Silk Road employee that Dread Pirate Roberts allegedly tried to have murdered is writing a memoir.
Curtis Green was an administrator named "chronicpain" at the dark net black market Silk Road, the first modern dark net market. In two years, it grew into a billion dollar business selling mostly drugs.
Green, an admitted heroin addict, was caught with $27,000 and soon flipped to cooperate with police. Dread Pirate Roberts, the founder and leader of Silk Road, found out about Green's involvement with police and allegedly paid $80,000 to have him killed.
Ross Ulbricht was convicted of founding Silk Road, which launched in 2011. He was arrested in 2013 and convicted on multiple charges in 2015 including drug trafficking, money laundering, computer hacking, and identity fraud.
Even though Ulbricht was never tried or convicted for any murder charges, the accusations played heavily into the trial against him. His legal team is currently fighting for an appeal.
Fuck him.
