Podcasts about Ulbricht

Ross Ulbricht, the mastermind behind Silk Road, created one of the most notorious underground marketplaces in internet history. From 2011 to 2013, Silk Road facilitated over $200 million in drug sales using Bitcoin, making Ulbricht a target for the U.S. government. But was he truly the criminal kingpin they made him out to be? In this deep dive, we explore:

Bitcoin is seeing a clear divergence in strategy between retail investors and whales — something that isn't uncommon but is interesting. Outside of Bitcoin, it's chaos as always.

De eerste week van president Donald Trump zit erop en die stond in het teken van digitaal geld. In zijn eerste presidentiële decreet, getiteld 'Strengthening American Leadership in Digital Financial Technology', verzekert hij het recht op self custody van crypto en transacties zonder censuur. Tegelijkertijd trekt hij de plannen voor een digitale dollar (CBDC) definitief in. Trump is van mening dat een CBDC te veel macht bij de overheid zou leggen. Met dezelfde pennenstreek zet Trump een streep door verschillende regels die onder Biden waren ingevoerd. Veel van die regels waren gericht op het beperken van de cryptosector. Ook kondigt Trump een 'Digital Assets Stockpile' aan. Dit is een verzameling digitale bezittingen waar veel Bitcoiners op teleurgesteld reageerden - zij hadden gehoopt op een strategische Bitcoin reserve. Een ander belangrijk besluit van Trump deze week was het verlenen van gratie aan Ross Ulbricht, de oprichter van The Silk Road. Ulbricht zat een levenslange gevangenisstraf uit voor het runnen van deze online marktplaats. Ondertussen is er onrust ontstaan binnen de cryptogemeenschap, waarbij Bitcoiners de aanhangers van andere munten, met name Ripple, betichten van het 'kapen' van de agenda in Washington. Ook de SEC ondergaat grote veranderingen. Na het vertrek van de strenge voorzitter Gary Gensler wordt de beurswaakhond onder Trump cryptovriendelijker. Er komt een speciale crypto task force en de SAB-121-regel wordt ingetrokken. De afgelopen vier jaar voerde de SEC een restrictief beleid met veel rechtszaken tegen cryptobedrijven. Nu Gensler zijn vertrek heeft aangekondigd, stromen de aanvragen voor nieuwe crypto-ETF's binnen bij de toezichthouder. De cryptomarkt kreeg deze week klappen, net als de rest van de financiële markten. Dit had vooral te maken met de introductie van het Chinese AI-model DeepSeek, wat leidde tot koersdalingen bij chipbedrijven.

Is Trump considering having MAGA Congress pass a bill to give Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the online heroin and coke black market, back the BILLIONS of dollars he forfeited in Bitcoin to the federal government for his crimes? Michael Popok takes a deeper diver into the sordid tale of the relationship between Trump and Ulbricht, whom Trump admires as a crypto- rockstar and what it could mean for future business dealings of Ulbricht and Trump, now that Trump sprung him from a Life prison sentence in a supermax prison.

Most people will know Alex Winter from his acting career given his legacy starring in cult classic movies, but Alex is also decorated and highly respected documentary maker. His work includes The Panama Papers, Zappa, Downloaded, and the two in particular that we shall be talking about in this episode, Deep Web and The Youtube Effect. At the time of recording of this conversation with Alex a large part of the dialogue was centred around his documentary Deep Web and the story of The Silk Road, an online marketplace which pioneered in bitcoin and the deep web, patrons were able to purchase nearly anything they desired. The creator of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, was given a disproportionately long prison sentence consisting of double life plus 40 years. At time of releasing this podcast episode, and over a decade of time served, Ross has been released from prison with a presidential pardon. Alex Winter is able to give a unique insight into the Ross' case and the Silk Road journey, as well as the Ulbricht family to whom Alex got to know well over the years. Ross' mother, Lynn, has been a previous guest on the Stop and Search podcast. In this episode we will discuss Ross Ulbricht and his headline-making case, but we also speak about a great deal more, such as the delivery of information in this new era of global communications, what this means for the human race, challenges we face with online platforms, and yes, the 'drug war' and the many consequences of punitive policies.

Ross Ulbricht is the founder of Silk Road, an infamous darknet marketplace launched in 2011 that facilitated the anonymous exchange of goods and services, including illegal drugs, using Bitcoin. Ulbricht operated the site under the pseudonym "Dread Pirate Roberts" and was arrested in 2013 by the FBI. In 2015, he was convicted of several charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, computer hacking, and drug trafficking, and was sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years without the possibility of parole. Critics argue that Silk Road exposed flaws in drug policy by creating a safer, non-violent method of drug transactions compared to street-level markets, though it undoubtedly facilitated illegal activity.The government's handling of Ulbricht's case has been criticized for its severity and lack of transparency. His harsh sentence is seen by many as disproportionate, particularly when compared to penalties for violent crimes. Moreover, the trial raised concerns about due process, as evidence of alleged law enforcement misconduct and unauthorized tampering with Silk Road funds was excluded. Additionally, the portrayal of Ulbricht as the mastermind of all illegal activity on the platform arguably overstated his role while ignoring broader systemic issues like drug policy and the ethics of digital privacy. Critics view Ulbricht's sentence as an attempt to set an example, overshadowing principles of justice and fairness in the judicial system.(commercial at 11:02)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ross Ulbricht, aka Dread Pirate Roberts, sentenced to life in federal prison for creating, operating ‘Silk Road' website | ICETrump signs full, unconditional pardon of Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht | Fox News

Ross Ulbricht è libero!

De cryptomarkt werd deze week overvallen door de memecoin van Donald Trump. Na de lancering stroomde kapitaal massaal naar deze munt, ondersteund door het Solana-netwerk. Binnen korte tijd was de coin miljarden waard, met een opmerkelijke constructie waarbij het team 80% van de tokens bezit - waarvan het eerste dee over drie maanden op de markt komt. Trump maakte ondertussen zijn eerste crypto-gerelateerde verkiezingsbelofte waar door gratie te verlenen aan Ross Ulbricht, de oprichter van The Silk Road. Ulbricht, eerder veroordeeld tot tweemaal levenslang voor het runnen van de online drugsmarktplaats waar Bitcoin veel werd gebruikt, werd vrijgelaten. Een strategische zet om de libertarische cryptogemeenschap aan zich te binden. De presidentswissel bij de SEC heeft intussen een lawine van nieuwe ETF-aanvragen veroorzaakt. Na de goedkeuring van Bitcoin- en Ethereum-fondsen verwachten analisten dit jaar maar liefst vijftig nieuwe aanvragen. Op de lijst staan gevestigde cryptocurrencies als XRP, Solana en Litecoin, maar ook verrassende kandidaten zoals Dogecoin, BONK en zelfs de nieuwe Trumpcoin. Deze week in de CryptocastDe eerste Deep Dive van de Cryptocast! Hierin legt Daniël Mol, samen met Bert Slagter en onze nieuwe co-host Veronique Estié de ingewikkelde cryptowereld van A tot Z uit. We starten met de vraag: Hoe begin je nu eigenlijk met crypto. En dat pellen we dan stap voor stap af. Dus als je nu luistert en je vraagt je af: hoe start ik in deze wereld?

Hosts: Erin Rider and Greg Skordas  Once called the “eBay for drugs,” Silk Road was a major dark web marketplace for buying drugs. Its founder, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to two life sentences – plus forty years – in 2015. This week, President Trump pardoned Ulbricht. Why? What does the president get for pardoning Ulbricht? Hosts Erin Rider and Greg Skordas discuss the connections to cryptocurrency, and whether the pardoning was Trump’s retribution for something else. 

Hosts: Erin Rider and Greg Skordas  Federal DEI programs begin winding down today  Following a busy first two days of signing executive orders and memoranda, the effects of President Trump's orders are being felt -- big changes are coming today to federal DEI programs. As the new administration pushes back on previous attempts to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion, it begs the question: how could this affect the private sector? Hosts Erin Rider and Greg Skordas discuss.    Pres. Trump begins making changes to immigration policy  One of the first things Donald Trump promised to do when he became President for the second time was to address the immigration situation. Through a series of executive orders and other administrative decisions, immigration policies are already changing. Inside Sources dig into two changes – one dealing with “sensitive spaces” and another with birthright citizenship.    Utah’s reaction to changing immigration policy  Governor Spencer Cox is reacting to President Trump's changes to immigration policy. He sat down with the Deseret News to explains how Utah can work with the new administration on things like border security. But a few of the immigration policy changes Trump is making? Cox isn't too sure about all of them. The hosts give a local angle to the nationwide immigration situation.    Examining the relationship between Utah’s judiciary and legislative branches  During his State of the Judiciary, Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Matthew B. Durrant said Utah has set the judicial standard for the nation. He spoke to Utah's Lawmakers at the beginning of the Legislative Session yesterday. The Inside Sources hosts discuss his speech, comparing his words to the tense relationship between the two government branches over the last few years.    Pres. Trump ends policy allowing teleworking for federal employees  Another one of President Trump’s first executive actions ends the prevalence of remote work among federal employees. He’s directed heads of government departments to move their employees back to the office 5 days a week or fire them. What kind of effect could this decision have on the private market? Inside Sources breaks it down.    Silk Road creator pardoned by President Trump  Once called the “eBay for drugs,” Silk Road was a major dark web marketplace for buying drugs. Its founder, Ross Ulbricht, was sentenced to two life sentences – plus forty years – in 2015. This week, President Trump pardoned Ulbricht. Why? What does the president get for pardoning Ulbricht? Hosts Erin Rider and Greg Skordas discuss the connections to cryptocurrency, and whether the pardoning was Trump’s retribution for something else.    National Democrats searching for central message, leader  Following a devastating defeat on the national stage during the election, Democrats are trying to figure out what to do and where to go next. And it's leading to difficult conversations with Democratic members of Congress and their leaders as they try to settle on a common message that will resonate with voters. What could Democrats focus on to win the midterms? Listen for the hosts’ thoughts.    Trouble brewing for Stargate?  A huge artificial intelligence infrastructure project -- led by President Trump -- is causing some controversy between him and one of his top advisors, Elon Musk. The Inside Sources hosts describe this new “Stargate” project and why some top tech leaders are not fans.

Woop! Woop! Ab Frühling 1945 konnte Walter Ulbricht seinen langgehegten Traum verfolgen: ein kommunistisches Deutschland zu schaffen. Als Stalins wichtigster Mann in der sowjetisch besetzten Zone wurde er zum eigentlichen Staatsgründer der DDR, der allerdings erst 1960 auch formell zum obersten Funktionär aufstieg. Immer wieder konnte er seine Macht behaupten, so beim Aufstand vom 17. Juni 1953 , der gegen seine Herrschaft gerichtet war. Als sie 1960/61 erneut in Gefahr geriet, errichtete er die Mauer. Anschließend erfand sich Ulbricht neu und versuchte als «Landesvater» die DDR im begrenzten Rahmen zu verändern. Er scheiterte an seinen konservativen Gegenspielern in der SED-Spitze. Der Sturz Ulbrichts 1970/71 war allerdings nicht nur dieser mächtigen, von Moskau unterstützten Gruppe geschuldet – denn Ulbricht war inzwischen krank und alt. Kowalczuks Biographie zeichnet nicht nur all diese politischen Entwicklungen präzise und quellennah nach, sie zeigt auch, wie Ulbricht abseits des Protokolls lebte, wer die wichtigsten Menschen in seinem Umfeld waren und warum die Geschichte der DDR und des Kommunismus ohne Kenntnis der Biographie Ulbrichts nicht zu verstehen ist. Enjoy!^^

The speakers Sterlin Lujan (anarchist activist), Kenny Palentano (Free Ross activist), and Dan O'Neil (chairman of New Jersey Human Action), provide an in-depth analysis of the case, debunking myths surrounding Ulbricht's alleged involvement in murder-for-hire schemes and highlighting the disproportionate sentence he received. They emphasize the changing landscape of drug laws and the increasing acceptance of cryptocurrencies, which has led to calls for Ulbricht's release - including from Presidential candidates Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of Ulbricht's case for civil liberties and the cryptocurrency community. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!

Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout his speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party's national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me.” The heckling began the moment the former president took the stage, and some of his supporters in the room tried to drown out the boos with chants of “We want Trump.” “Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it's very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.” Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don't do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party's history.) Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday. Trump's stop at the Libertarian convention marked an unconventional one for a presumptive Republican nominee, but it is illustrative of his campaign's intensifying concern over third-party candidates. The outreach to Libertarians follows weeks of stepped-up attacks by Trump aimed at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose high-profile independent White House bid is increasingly viewed by the former president's advisers as a potential problem in an election expected to be decided by a narrow margin in a handful of states. Kennedy, who spoke at the convention on Friday, was nominated by a delegate Sunday on the convention floor, where his candidacy was met with boos from other delegates. He was eliminated as a potential nominee in the first round of voting after receiving support from 19 delegates, or just 2.07% of delegates. Trump was also nominated on the convention floor Sunday, but Libertarian Party Chair Angela McArdle ruled the former president was not qualified because he did not submit nominating papers. The scene inside the Washington Hilton was at times raucous Saturday, as Trump supporters and Libertarians clashed. McArdle, the party chair, took the stage ahead of Trump's speech to tell supporters of the former president sitting in the front rows to make room for the Libertarian delegates. “I don't want to, like, fight with people or beg and plead. Let's just make room for the delegates, because those are the people you're trying to persuade, right? You are already sold. Our delegates are not sold, and President Trump is here to try to sell them,” McArdle said. “Those of you who are Donald Trump supporters, I think what I would like to see tonight is for us to all get along and come to an understanding and find areas of agreement even if we don't agree to vote for the same person,” she added. Also ahead of the speech, Secret Service agents confiscated rubber chickens that the super PAC aligned with Kennedy's presidential campaign had passed out to attendees. “No lighters, no water bottles, no noisy chickens,” one agent yelled to attendees waiting to go through the security checkpoint. Tony Lyons, the co-chair of the pro-Kennedy American Values 2024 super PAC, confirmed to CNN that the group had distributed the rubber chickens at the convention Saturday. Libertarians in the crowd at times confronted Trump supporters, and some audience members were escorted out of the venue. One Libertarian critic of Trump was forced to leave after CNN observed him throwing a punch at a Trump-supporting audience member. Several people toward the front of the room turned their backs to Trump as he spoke. One of Trump's few loud applause lines Saturday came when he announced that if elected, he would commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the underground website Silk Road, which let users anonymously buy and sell anything from drugs to hacking tutorials. Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison in 2015 following his conviction on seven counts ranging from money laundering to drug trafficking, and many attendees at the Libertarian convention have been arguing for his pardon. Trump also received cheers when he said he would put a Libertarian in his Cabinet and appoint Libertarians to senior positions in his administration in a potential second term. Prior to the speech, the Trump campaign said it anticipated getting an unfriendly reception from some attendees – former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, now a Trump surrogate, received loud boos when he mentioned the former president in his speech at the convention Friday. “Do we know that it's not exactly home base? Absolutely. There will be people who want him to be there and people who don't want him to be there, but we're on offense and competing for nontraditional votes in order to unite the country,” Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller told CNN. Meanwhile, Biden's campaign cast Trump as “anti-freedom” ahead of his address. “Donald Trump says his Republican Party is the party of freedom, but tell that to the women who have had the freedom to make their own health care decisions ripped away and their pregnancies monitored by the government,” Biden campaign spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement Saturday. Biden was also invited to speak at the convention but didn't respond, McArdle told CNN earlier. At a news conference immediately following Trump's speech, Chase Oliver, a Libertarian presidential candidate, said that he believed it was a mistake to invite Trump but that he was proud that Libertarians heckled the former president during his remarks. “I don't like having a war criminal on this stage. I don't feel he deserves a spot on this stage,” Oliver said. “While I think it was a mistake to have invited Donald Trump, I'm glad he got to see a glimpse of what a real Libertarian reception feels like.” Michael Rectenwald, another Libertarian presidential candidate, said he believed the party achieved some gains by inviting Trump to the convention, pointing to the former president's commitment to commute Ulbricht's sentence. “We got a major political party candidate to say that he would free Ross Ulbricht,” Rectenwald said at the news conference. “We moved the needle toward liberty.” Still, Rectenwald acknowledged that Trump's remarks were unlikely to persuade Libertarians to vote for the former president. “There are no people in this room in the Libertarian Party at risk for falling for Trump's bullsh*t,” he said. Trent Nestle, a Libertarian delegate from Tennessee, told CNN that Trump's pledge to commute Ulbricht's sentence wouldn't be enough to convince him to back the former president. “I want to see it happen,” Nestle said. “It won't change my vote in November.” - by Kate Sullivan, Aaron Pellish and Steve Contorno, CNNSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Using the online moniker “Dread Pirate Roberts,” or “DPR,” ULBRICHT controlled and oversaw every aspect of Silk Road, and managed a staff of paid, online administrators and computer programmers who assisted with the day-to-day operation of the site. Through his ownership and operation of Silk Road, ULBRICHT reaped commissions worth more than $13 million generated from the illicit sales conducted through the site. ULBRICHT also demonstrated a willingness to use violence to protect his criminal enterprise and the anonymity of its users, soliciting six murders-for-hire in connection with operating the site, although there is no evidence that these murders were actually carried out. -FBI.gov Until next week… BE SAFE!

How much do you know about the infamous site Silk Road and its creator Ross Ulbricht, also known as Dread Pirate Roberts? We speak to Lynn Ulbricht, the mother of Ross...Ross was a pioneer of the deep web and bitcoin. He created a new market place which ended up as a vending system for an array of things, including drugs. Ross was the mastermind behind the website but didn't actually partake in vending himself. Ross now serves a double life prison term and many people feel this is an injustice on many levels. The toll this has taken on the family is inconceivable.We're joined by Lynn to speak about the history of Silk Road and the journey which led up to Ross' imprisonment. How is Ross now, and what is he doing? What hope is there of his release? And why is this perceived by so many people as a gross injustice? An incredible tale of criminal and social justice on trial.If you would like to know more or support Lynn and Ross, go to: freeross.orgDisclaimer: All views expressed in this episode represent the individual only Hosted on Acast.

The East German uprising of 1953 began as a series of strikes and protests at living standards; it soon turned political, with town halls being stormed amid vocal demands for German reunification. The Soviets had to intervene with military force to quell the rebellion. On August 20, 1968, the Soviet Union led Warsaw Pact troops in an invasion of Czechoslovakia to crack down on reformist trends in Prague, thereby ending the Prague Spring which had started in January of 1968.

Der Sprecher der Sowjetischen Militäradministration klingt hochoffiziell, als er die Meldung vom Ausnahmezustand in der DDR verkündet. Ein Reporter des Westberliner RIAS berichtet von den Ereignissen am Brandenburger Tor. Und der Chef-Propagandist der SED, Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler, erklärt alles, was in jenen Tagen in der DDR passiert als etwas, was vom Westen gesteuert wird. Der 17. Juni 1953 offenbart den Kontrollverlust der Staatspartei - und genau deshalb wird in der DDR nie offen über diese Ereignisse gesprochen. Die erste Folge von „Da war doch was – Geschichten zwischen Kap Arkona und Fichtelberg“ beschreibt die Vorgeschichte und den Verlauf des DDR-Volksaufstandes vom 17. Juni 1953. Zu Wort kommt u.a. unser Kollege Dr. Ulrich Mählert. Podcast-Reihe "Da war doch was": Was geschah am 17. Juni 1953? Auf wessen Betreiben wurde die Berliner Mauer gebaut? Wie gestaltete sich der Machtwechsel von Ulbricht zu Honecker? Welche Ursachen führten zur Friedlichen Revolution? Diese und andere Fragen können Thema des neuen Audiopodcasts der Bundesstiftung Aufarbeitung sein. In den 30minütigen Hörstücken kommen Wissenschaftler und Zeitzeugen zu Wort. Bekannte und unbekannte O-Töne führen die Hörer zurück in die Zeit der deutschen Teilung. Konzipiert und realisiert werden diese Bildungsangebote von Thomas Klug, der als freier Journalist für den Rundfunk tätig ist.

The United States government plans to liquidate more than 41,000 Bitcoin (BTC) seized as part of a case connected to Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht. A March 31 filing with U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York regarding the sentencing of James Zhong stated U.S. government authorities had begun liquidating roughly 51,352 BTC seized in the Ulbricht case. According to the filing, officials sold roughly 9,861 of the king crypto (BTC) for more than $215 million on March 14, leaving roughly 41,491 BTC. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeff & Cathy meet with Everett & Celeste Ulbricht, the self-proclaimed king & queen of LDR's (and rightfully so!). They met through their efforts with the Flameless Fireside podcast - a group of LDS singles who meet ONLINE every Wednesday evening to discuss a great variety of topics related to the single adult scene. They fell in love, dated LD, and eventually got married in a virtual ceremony ONLINE (although they were together!), and have even had a LD marriage for a while until they are able to move to the same state and live in the same house. These two know how to think outside of the box!

In this bonus episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast, I interview Andy Greenberg, long-time WIRED reporter, about his new book, “Tracers in the Dark: The Global Hunt for the Crime Lords of Cryptocurrency.” This is Andy's second author interview on the Cyberlaw Podcast. He also came on to discuss an earlier book, Sandworm: A New Era of Cyberwar and the Hunt for the Kremlin's Most Dangerous Hackers. They are both excellent cybersecurity stories. “Tracers in the Dark”, I suggest, is a kind of sequel to the Silk Road story, which ends with Ross Ulbricht, the Dread Pirate Roberts, pinioned in a San Francisco library with his laptop open to an administrator's page on the Silk Road digital black market. At that time, cryptocurrency backers believed that Ulbricht's arrest was a fluke, and that properly implemented, bitcoin was anonymous and untraceable. Greenberg's book explains, story by story, how that illusion was trashed by smart cops and techies (including our own Nick Weaver!) who showed that the blockchain's “forever” records make it almost impossible to avoid attribution over time. Among those who fall victim to the illusion of anonymity are two federal officers who helped pursue Ulbricht—and to rip him off; the administrator of AlphaBay, Silk Road's successor dark market, an alleged Russian hacker who made so much money hacking Mt. Gox that he had to create his own exchange to launder it all, and hundreds of child sex abuse consumers and producers.  It is a great story, and Andy brings it up to date in the interview as we dig into two massive, multi-billion seizures made possible by transaction tracing. In fact, for all the colorful characters in the book, the protagonist is really Chainalysis and its competitors, who have turned tracing into a kind of science. We close the talk by exploring Andy's deeply mixed feelings about both the world envisioned by cryptocurrency's evangelists and the way Chainalysis is saving us from that world.
