Great podcast. Tiller Russell is a great filmmaker. I am learning how to write screenplay, and this was very informative about filmmaking. Condensing characters is important. Sometimes it makes a story too complex to tell every backstory, and the film doesn't work because the audience is lost from subplots. So, you condense a character to say certain things the filmmaker wants to be part of the film without creating several main characters. Very cool.
Ross, and Joe Rogan, were the first two people I sent my book to.
I don't know if Ross is guilty. I do know that it seems unlikely he is guilty of all the charges that were levelled against him, and as always when there are corrupt federal agents involved, then I find it difficult to believe everything portrayed. I also realize that the politics involved are on a massive scale. I watched the documentary & when the drug czar of the Balitmore PD comes on and says that it was great the drug dealers were taken off the corners; I just said, well, that means several big three letter agencies are losing power and most of their reasons for size & budget. Ross's actual mistake wasn't breaking the law, but instead encroaching on the turf of the big armed, criminal gangs, you know the ones with badges and top-secret clearances.
This movie was badly written, disconnected, and inaccurate making up facts to fit whatever story line they thought they had. I hope someone will do a better job in the future.
True story: My younger brother was actively communicating with Ulbricht to become the Silk Road's new coder. My brother is a master computer programmer, and before was knocking down 180k bucks a year as a website coder for both Intelius Corporation and Confi-Chek Corporation, the company that owns People Finders, and other people search company. My brother actually wrote the software for People Finders.
What Ulbricht didn't know is that my brother was actually working for the US government as an informant and helped to capture Ross.
My brother was forced to work with the government because he got busted for selling drugs on the Silk Road and agreed to cooperate.
He eventually spent 4 years in prison for his crime.
