    Silk Road: Murder, Drugs & Crypto

    Silk Road: Murder, Drugs & Crypto

    In this RE-RELEASE episode, Tess takes us through the journey of Ross Ulbricht’s founding of Silk Road, the dark web known as “the Amazon for drugs.” Meant to be a place for buyers and sellers to conduct marijuana transactions using Bitcoin, it quickly escalated to offering hard core drugs, weapons, and before the FBI could find this man…murders. This is Silk Road.

    Lisa Frank

    Lisa Frank

    In this week's episode, Tess takes us through the DARK history of Lisa Frank which in fact, was absolutely not just kittens, rainbows, glitter and unicorns. The opposite...
    We go through her privileged upbringing, successful career in her early 20s, into what became the monster that was Lisa Frank Inc. From her toxic work environment, to her disastrous and problematic husband who started having an affair with his drug fueled VP, to all the trials that ensued after the company went to hell and back, this is a story for every 90s kid that will make your head spin!
