Exclusive Video: Silk Road Founder Ross Ulbricht’s Mom, Lyn Ulbricht, & Director Alex Winter On Truth About The Dark Web
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.
