Title: Crime Goes GEEK - Say Hello to the DEEP WEB CRIME LORD Post by: lenny_ on January 10, 2017, 02:56:28 AM The inexorable rise of Bitcoin has created a new class of villain: the Deep Web Crime Lord.
The Deep Web Crime Lord is a fresh phenomenon. To be sure, criminality is nothing new; heroes and villains are as old as humanity itself. But for most of human history, criminals were easily identifiable; politicians, warlords, gun-toting thugs, cartel bosses, mafia dons, and the like. But with the emergence of TOR and the deep web, crime has gone geek. How dangerous is the Deep Web Crime Lord? That depends entirely on the price of Bitcoin. Ross Ulbricht was the original Deep Web Crime Lord – the quintessential nerd with a virtual gun. In real life, he would run from a bar fight, but when he logged onto TOR he became a superhero-cold-blooded-killer, dishing out darknet justice and commanding the assassinations of rivals and snitches. On the deep web, hiring a hitman is as easy as ordering a hamburger.

Hiring a hitman on the deep web is not in fact as easy as ordering a hamburger; most of the "hitman" websites are scams which take your bitcoin and leave. While it is true 50,000 bitcoins is a lot of power, bitcoin has a long way to go before it reaches 10,000 (think how long it took to go from 100 to 1000).
