Jimmy Zhong, un hacker de 22 ans, n'avait jamais eu l'intention de devenir un milliardaire criminel. Mais c'est exactement ce qui s'est passé en 2012, lorsqu'il a découvert un moyen de voler des bitcoins sur Silk Road, une plateforme d'échange du dark web alors prisée des criminels qui l'utilisaient pour mener leurs activités illicites, allant de la drogue et des stupéfiants aux armes et à la pornographie. Au cours de la décennie suivante, la valeur des bitcoins volés par Zhong a grimpé en flèche, atteignant finalement la somme astronomique de 3,36 milliards de dollars.
