Transcript
[FULL TRANSCRIPT]
JACK: I better do a warning here; this episode is gonna talk about drugs and dark markets, through like, the whole episode. If you’d rather not listen to me go on and on about drugs for an hour, you might want to consider skipping this one. Also, in my hope to listen to Episode 24 first; that one’s called Operation Bayonet which goes into detail about drugs being sold on these dark markets. Now, you don’t need to listen to Operation Bayonet first but it does explain a lot of stuff and leads you up to the events before this one so it’s a good idea to pause this one, go do Operation Bayonet first, and then come back to this one. [MUSIC] You know, the internet has really brought to life a whole new userbase that traditionally was very different. For instance, stock market trading; traditionally this was a very slow system. You first needed to get extra money to invest with which was easier to get decades ago. Then you’d call your broker to buy some stocks.
