Lyn Ulbricht’s son, Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, currently sits behind bars waiting to learn his sentence for breaking multiple laws while running the online drug bazaar – and Lyn believes that the U.S. government broke the law in putting him there. Lyn and director Alex Winter, who produced a documentary about Ross, Deep Web, spoke to uInterview exclusively at SXSW in 2015.
Q: Lyn, how did you find out about your son’s involvement in with Silk Road?
A: We got a call from a Reuters reporter at our house. That’s how I found out. To tell you the truth, sometimes I still can’t believe it. I had mentioned this to Alex, in the movie, it’s kind of like when someone dies. It’s such a shock to have Ross in prison that sometimes I wake up in the morning, and then I remember. It’s such a shock.

At the Libertarian Party’s national convention on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was loudly booed and heckled by attendees. When he came on stage, Trump was immediately met with jeers. Some of his supporters attempted to override the crowd’s negative reception by chanting, “We want Trump.”
The boos reached a peak when Trump asked the Libertarian attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me” to “get rid of the worst president in history,” a dig at current President Joe Biden. As attendees became visibly and audibly upset, Trump followed up with another statement.
“Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years,” Trump said. After receiving hostile reactions, Trump concluded his speech after 34 minutes.
Despite the crowd’s opposition to Trump, the former president found common ground with voters on several topics.

Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden wrapped up a weekend of fundraising in Los Angeles on Sunday, with a record amount raised.
More than $15 million was raised through the weekend, including for the Biden Victory Fund, said campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, founding partner of WndrCo. That is the most raised for a single visit to Los Angeles of any president or presidential candidate, he said.
It also surpassed the amount raised by Barack Obama in May, 2012, when Obama headlined a fundraiser at the home of George Clooney and co-hosted by Katzenberg. That fundraising trip brought in almost $15 million.
Through the weekend, Biden and the first lady headlined seven events, including private gatherings with high-dollar donors and a Hollywood-centric fundraiser on Friday evening at the Holmby Hills home of James Costos, the former U.S. ambassador to Spain, and designer Michael Smith. That event included co-chairs such as Steven Spielberg,...
