Twenty two year-old hacker Jimmy Zhong said he never meant to become a criminal billionaire. But that’s what happened in 2012 after he found a way to steal bitcoin from the Silk Road - a dark web exchange then known for some of the most unsavory trade on the internet - drugs, guns and porn. Over the next decade, the coins Zhong stole rocketed in value, ultimately reaching an eye-watering $3.36 billion.
Photos show Zhong on yachts, in front of airplanes, and at big time football games over the decade he confounded law enforcement officers trying to solve the theft. He even bought a weekend lake house to use as a party pad, and decorated it with a giant Trump flag and a stripper pole. But then, Zhong made a phone call that ruined his life.
In this documentary, CNBC’s Eamon Javers speaks exclusively with the IRS-CI, the agency that investigated this billion dollar crime as well as the people who knew Zhong during the decade he evaded law enforcement. Javers’ reporting also uncovers a long, digital trail that leads back to the earliest days of bitcoin and reveals a dark truth about the world of hackers and coders responsible for the creation of bitcoin.

I just feel there's something unfair about everything that happened to him. Took money from criminals, the government took the money from him and send him to jail. Feels like the government is the villain in this story.

It's true, the government is ran by Satan! You need Jesus to bring justice! Unfortunately, Jimmy wasn't worshipping Jesus, so he wasn't saved from Satan! But also, if Jimmy were worshipping Jesus, he'd have to pay tithes! Rich people typically don't worship Jesus, so they're just pretending to be good people while sabotaging the world! Jimmy was a lonely loser because he was selfish, and was vulnerable to the world.

Do not die with a Will in Austin TX use Right of Survivorship. Some Thieves wear Suits ! Pray for Judge Guy Herman. DEMOCRAT. Probate Court Scam, Theft Alert . A Mom and daughter both own, each one half of 15 tree covered acres with two houses, each have No Debts. Austin, Texas built a Formula 1 Race track and Music Concert and Events Center across the hiway and as visitors exit the Main Entrance across the street that tree covered, undivided, 15 acres has 2 homes on it. The Mom died leaving a Signed notarized and double witnessed Will stating that the Mom's house and property is Not to be SOLD. The Mom, always a good Judge of character, met the new neighbor Developer and said that man is no good and no good will come from him. The "Honorable" "Ethical" Probate Court Judge Guy Herman replaced the Named Trusted Loyal Executor who would Not SELL , with the Austin, Texas, Travis County taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer's "Ethical" Attorney as Administrator who that day Contracted to SELL the Debt Free Estate likely valued at $500~800k to maybe a high of $3,000,000, due to the location (2023 Austin area property tax is $150,000 per acre $150k x 7 1/2 acres= 1,125k), to the Taxpayer funded Velocity Project Developer for $60k claiming SELLING the DEBT FREE House and 7 1/2 acre Estate (half of the family's Undivided 15 acres) is BEST for the Family. The Will gives the Executor and now by law the Administrator the power to SELL or Not SELL and to SET the price if needed with only a low price Limit and NO UPPER Limit. By removing the Named in the Will Loyal Trusted Executor the HONORABLE Guy Herman made the Estate Defenseless , and has Stolen (at a cheap price) this Mom's house. To maintain Control, Judge Guy Herman refused to permit a Trial by Jury. Because the Named Trusted Executor complained soo much another "Ethical" Judge, Daniel Prashner , stepped in and said he reviewed the Probate Court case and said he would Court Order a SELL at $60k. Probate Court is a Brotherhood of Snakes . The Velocity Project Developer already has 100+ bull dozed flat acres to the side and 70+Millions of dollars and teams of "Ethical" lawyers but he doesn't have that Mom and daughter's place at the Main Entrance. Don't Die with a Will , do "Right of Survivorship" and avoid Probate Court's Legal "Ethical" Theft for the Good of the Debt Free Family Scams . DEBT FREE means No Need to SELL. How much Safer would you feel sleeping knowing that this Developer bought half of your Family's homestead for $60k by Court Order.? As visitors exit the Main Entrance of the Formula One Racetrack, Concert Events Center and Amusement Park the tree covered property directly across the street is the tree covered, undivided 15 acres where the Mom and Daughter's 2 Houses are. The 100+ acres of bull dozed land beside the Mom and daughter's Homestead is owned by the Travis County taxpayer funded Developer of the Velocity Project, operating as 10+ LLC companies who want to put in Retail and housing. Do not die with a Will , Use a Right of Survivorship or Pass on Death filed at the Courthouse prior to death. So the Ethical Judge and State Bar of Texas Ethical Attorneys can't Steal your Property. Father Jehovah, they by the offices they hold represent Thy Hand here upon this Earth and as such they should be held to a higher level of accountability than that of the people they are here to serve. Father Jehovah, I ask that You hold back Thy Mercy, stretch forth Thy Hand, spare not Thy Rod and correct those that are in positions of authority with sufficient magnitude and persistence that they despite their Godless tyrannical and often evil spirited ways might come to know that there is a God, that life on Earth is short and to at all times seek to do that which is right.

When the government "confiscates" money and vehicles from drug addicts who are caught with even just a small amount of illegal drugs without proof that the money and vehicles being "confiscated" were acquired from profit of criminal activity and even when rogue agents of the government steal money from innocent people traveling in their vehicles with their hard-earned cash for legitimate reason, they don't think it's wrong because they legitimized it by calling it CIVIL FORFEITURE. May be LICENSED TO STEAL is a more suitable description for what they do to those unfortunate people.

Jimmy got what he deserved. He should of stuck to his confucius lessons he surely learned being Chinese. He embraced American capitalism and American culture. This is the result. It's all selfish, shallow and superficial. You can't buy real friendship. This is why majority of Triads left Hong Kong the moment it was given back to China. Criminals love the western system as its so easy for them to operate. Jimmy clearly hung out with triads. That's why he knew about that bitcoin exchange used by criminals. US law enforcement always playing catch up. The entire system does a terrible job with white collar crimes. It's designed like this for corporations to do whatever they want. Many Chinese criminals look at the US as a exit to a legitimate life after leaving China. They turn into your businessmen. It's not just China, it's the entire world of intelligent organized criminals. US is a perfect destination for them. Extreme capitalism works for them. This is why the US is losing against China. It can't even ensure their businesses operate with integrity or their justice system ensures safety of their citizens. China will out innovate the US. The US needs to revamp their system to improve the majority of lives for their citizens. It doesn't need to become exactly like China. Other countries still keep their democracy but they have policies which the people overwhelmingly support. For example, the US does not even have a national gun registration which majority of citizens support. There's so many things the US is behind when compared to other nations of similar caliber. For example, many in Europe. The income inequality in the US is extremely high! These are just examples proving policies in the US need changing to benefit the majority.

Today's Police, I call them Pig, is an OCCUPYING FORCE. Haven't you noticed no one is happy when the pigs show up. Twice I called the pigs for stolen property. One of which I SOLVED MYSELF!!! I found my property and who had taken them. Called the pigs to help me with the recovery, cos they always say, 'don't take the law into your own hands call and we'll help you. Long story short ,not only did they not arrest Dude, not only did they not recover my stuff, they managed to give away who had called the cops on the dude who claimed he had been to Pelican ZBdy this of that, and he took my picture for future reference I guess to do something to me later on. Standing there with the pig. I asked the Sheriff pig, ' aren't you gonna ask him why he took the picture. He said with a cold face ( my head was about to explode ,when I heard): 'Well that's the risk you take when you call us.

Stealing from crooks isn't stealing. Also, all the money that wasn't used activelly by him in any criminal activity, so money that landed on his lap and wasn't used on illegal drugs, weapons, etc. shouldn't be actually STOLEN by the government. If the government wanted the taxes on a crypto, that oscillates value so much and wasn't in the real world, I would call bs. Just tax him with the reasonable penalties over the coins he sold/cashed in and put him on a program to use his skills to actually get bad people. But no...let's just destroy his life over cryptocurrency he took from actual criminals. That just says to me Government can't be trusted to do anything really good for the people, just to maintain itself with power over people.

The neighborhood is still having break ins and thefts, cops decided not to peruse that case now that they all got a pat on the back and got to screw over another kid they were jealous of. B/c u know… NOBODY in the community can be cooler than the cops think they are.

Side note- I picked up on the jab about the AR-15. I feel this was another intentional poke at them for the public to subliminally absorb and criminalize. They were in his home…. LOTS of people have loaded weapons inside their homes, that’s kinda the point of having them, in terms of home protection. There is nothing wrong with that.

jimmy got paid extra 5000 for his handwork for years and programming skill not because of abusing people or from any illegal work. the fact that they paid him extra to reveal the flaw makes him a programmer not a criminal, if a criminal come to your grocery shop or bakery and take bread do you have any concern where from he got the money. you have given him something in exchange for money. and the fact that nobody came in front claiming damages caused by jimmy totally free him from any responsibility. people lost many gems in history, whoever found has total authority over that asset that's justice. jimmy has nothing to do with slikroad and their business and clients. He is a nerd freelancer. Got paid for his work and skills.
