The first draft of the text back in 2013 was written by popular author Dennis Lehane ("Island of the Damned"), based on an article from the magazine Wired . Since then, there has been no progress in the work on the project, and it is still unknown who will lead its filming. The Ulbricht Silk Road site operated from 2011 to 2013. Due to the fact that she was on the anonymous network Tor , and all payments were made in bitcoins, buyers and sellers received complete anonymity. Most of the goods were illegal, and various psychoactive substances occupied a special place among them. However, in October 2013, Ulbricht was arrested on charges of drug trafficking, hacker attacks and money laundering. Ross is currently serving a life sentence.
