>> a a guy this his late 20s, also america diplomacy has been in over drive. if the the u.s. is exceeding or outside -- they are the ones getting stronger. and this is the man the mexican version of tyler perry. his new film is breaking box office records in the u.s. could he and perry be changing the way hollywood does business? >> hello. welcome to "consider this" we begin after his resent arrest. he has become the arrest of the dark side of the internet. the dark said that as he reports includes drugs, child pornography all for sale and nearly impossible to track. >> i feel like the world was influx for sure. >> 29-year-old ross william in

a you tube video last year. >> according to federal prosecutors, he was the mastermind. hind the biggest online drug bizarre. he was arrested in a library in san francisco tuesday and charged him with tar cotics narcotics traffitrafficking and attempted murder murder. for the last two and a half years, under the alias pirate roberts taken from the character the "princess bride" oversaw the business. his site car ited to nearly one million users in the u.s. according to court documents he twice tried to hire murderers online to kill a form employee.

in one case the hitman was an ununder cover fbi agent it's unclear if murder took place. an electronic currency designed to be anonymous. new york senator claims credit the for bringing the web-site. >> he was dream for drug users because he was technically adapt and was able to hide both the web-site that he put together and the actual sales of illegal drugs that the drug sellers would make on his web-site. >> the you tube where he wanted reply. >> i want to have a substantia substantial -- >> his next court appearance is scheduled for friday. al jazeera, new york. >> joining me now from pittsburgh is assistant

professor of electrical and computer engineering. and from anne harbor michigan, the professor at the university of california at san diego. thank you both for joining us. the big question is this guy has not been convicted. if he did everything he's accused of, how did he pull it off. between february of 2011 and last july he had more than 957,000 registered users. it logged i 1.2 million trance t transactions. all this took place on the internet in a not so easy to navigate area. it's referred to as the deep web that you need special software to access. how does that work? >> one of the key elements which is the web-site that he was

allegedly running is the use oh of anonymousing web browseers. if you want to con take it him that you don't want tphoeub know that you're doing it or you don't want to know who you are. there's a technical technique that allows you u to do the web browses. >> you can't actually use your credit cards, you have can another step which are called fit coins. you use those bit coins to this online currency and that keeps your trapbgs transaction secret. can you explain how they work? >> yes, this coin basically is a digital online currency.

the main reason why they hard to trace is the product -- there's no send ralized bank. this coin is -- all agree on the trapbgs action trance a*bss that artrance transactions that take place. it's very different tkoult track. >> tutorials. you can find documents in some places even guns. now all these transactions were concealed in these ways that we are talking about but technically they were still taking place in public on this web-site. given that it was accessible in some way and then law enforcement is looking for all this stuff.

michael, how did this manage to not be found by the dea especially given those numbers that were going through there. >> i guess you can chalk it up to technology. >> is that all it's about? >> is it so hard to trace these transactions? >> well, you're using this coin -- you're certainly oh making it harder for law enforcement to trace your actions. most of those the wounds are still shaped through the postal service there. >> so, it's not like it's comfortable to find out where it's going if you happen to stumble on some of those ages. >> even if the tranc transactios might be difficult. it we are still dealing with a

web-site out this that has more than a million users. look at this, it may be gone but there are other online competitors. one of our producers went online and he sat down on his computer and showed us how it's done. he went to the pr projects. he downloaded the web browseer, he opened that and connected to the deep web. from there he went to the web-page to look up addresses and it's where anyone request thick coin cans buy drugs like lsd and cocaine and marijuana was out there. >> isn't this surprising that they still up and running? >> michaelle. -p.

>> there's an opportunity that presents itself. this is a one sign -p that it's not enough to use the coins and you also need to be extremely careful about the real world signs that you're involved in. >> that's for the tpaoeu guys we misbehaving that they don't get caught. how sit not possible. it's a drug super market and order whatever you want. >> you are making a good point. we don't know how the fbi managed to get access to the web-site itself. this is one of the problems in the indictment that you made clear so we don't know if they managed to have what they are

facing or do you need a much more traditional policy methods. >> did he get caught because of mistakes he made online or off line. earlier this year, he had a run in with homeland security. he had nine false ids with his picture on them that were delivered to his home and told the agents that anyone can do the same by using poor technology to the log on to the web-site and he had do an bunch of anonymous interviews. is that what did him in? >> if you read the fbi affidavit, those are the things that they get them to identify as he allegedly run with the web-site .

he wrote on his web-site, it's built on powerful technologies and it is at the cutting edge of. it's tough to lisp to these guys because he's pacecally selling drugs. we don't want to make any libertarians. is that part of the dna? it's a number of individuals. it was interesting in that respect that it took somewhat of an extreme approach to the problem by saying that he has own product and you can put whatever you want in it and

nobody should be able to regulate that. >> should law enforcement insist on more regulation? more kraou more scrutiny of the deep west? >> i think you have to consider the balance. technology could be the key to american expectations the of privacy and whether that's some of the constitutions.

>> if you find that balance that mike is talk about. is that the scrutiny that can prethe event the web-site. is the scrutiny possible or is the technology just so far ahead and so constantly changing? it's a tool in facing this kind of web-site. if you go back to the complaints. most of this guy come from just very good regular police work. so the question is then do we really need to think about regulating those things when

traditional police investigative tools seem to actually put a stop to this kind of activities? >> . >> first time he tried over at the contacted someone that turned out to be an under cover agent. he claims he's done the job and according t a. >> many are calling him the anti-hero from breaking bad.

>> i think in many areas as you go from earlier to later seasons that it's built like that. >> i appreciate you joining us. it's a worrisome way that the internet is effecting our lives >> >> coming up, we will ask who's phaeuginwho'sphaeuging out greas not? >> we will bring your questions to us. please join our con sre conversation.

the government shuts down and al jazeera america covers all of it. from washinton politics, to the real impact on you... >> there's harworking people that want to do their part.. but the government isn't doing theirs... >> coverage continues on al jazeera america. millions who need assistance now. we appreciate you spending time with us tonight. up next is the golden age of hollywood going golden but elsewhere. why l.a.'s mayor has declared a state of emergency for the entertainment industry there. next.

consider this, who's coming out on top? the leaders of russia, syria or iran or the u.s. he's now home after a world when i know in the u.s. u but now charming some iranians with some not-so not-so-charming remarks how he didn't meet with president obama request to meet with him five times. there's also deep skepticism. >> the president feels very important to probe and to test and to listen and to see is here. i think that's oh our moisture. there a diplomatic window but it won't remain open forever .

thank you for joining us. how much should we worry about? > i quote: >> david last week, he was the diplomatic darling of new york. >> i think all politics is local. he has to show the interest in anti-american. that he's tough and that the phone call happened because obama begged him or this could be a sign that he's not the reformer we know or we think we

know. they will present a plan there. >> we will see what's there. it's not just words. >> what do you say to the skeptics and say that you can't trust iran in the context of what he has been doing and that the reality is they still think of us . i think he had the it right to plate safe. it's very difficult for them to accept the

fact that tour position with the united states. i think we will have a lot more compareive at this particular issue. after it takes place in geneva and set the compromise with the international community over the nuclear program. >> talk about people back in iran. the iranian parliament which is mostly supportive. irani's boss and in parliament endorsed his diplomatic efforts. how difficult is that? >> it's slit. th

it's split. it''s clear but at the same time there are other con sinc constis that have a lot of noise. so the parliament i think is from the supreme leaders and a support his endeavours. there's others that i'm very worried. it's personal reasons. that's a point that it's not like north carolina. there are different groups that have stuff free of movement and in speech and we're seeing that playing itself out over its very important topic. >> we have a the social media question. >> reporter: he says the response to his over khurs clearly shows there's a strong international desire to have a good relationship we ran. is this true? >> i would agree.

i think that most people of good will are war in the middle east. they don't want to see -- i think there's a lot of optimism over new york last week and the phone calls and the language and the optimism that's generated. i think that extends across the entire world but there are constituents that they don't want to see a revolution of this topic and of this issue. hard lines confused in that state and the conservatives and the republicans and members of the lobby and certainly benjamin netanyahu. >> the u.s.' strength here are the sanctions which, depending on whether you talk to is

effective on getting iran where they are right now. billion dollars have been lost and runway inflation and all sorts of problems. john kerry just addressed this and list on the what he had to say. >> well, providing that the iranians take concrete steps, i'm confident they will have an expectation that the united states is going to respond by perhaps adjusting the sanctions resraoepl that we have today. > regime sanctions today. >> do you think they will take place that the west will accept or at least negotiate on? >> i'm not sure. i think we have to wait. ty think she what he says. he's problem lay moderate who does diplomatecally. there is a long history hereof hiding what's been going on in terms of the program.

it really depends on really concrete proposals have to emerge before the u.s. can cut back in the sanctions. the real issue here is going to be congress. they have to enact this thing in law. the government shut down and the members working on tougher sanctions that will eliminate all oil experts in iran in the next few years and so, how is congoing to respond to this deal? maybe the administrations says it's enough and will congress agree? >> how long is that window that is a man that powers referred to? how long before that window es. >> he wanted to see a deal agreed upon and implemented within a year. i think obama faces the same challenge. both leaders have a limited amount and room for maneuver and that's not going to last longer for 6 to 12 months. >> israel not buying any of it.

let's list on the what ben skwra benjamin netanyahu had to say. >> if israel was forced to stand alone, israel will stand alone. and in standing alone, israel will know that we will be defending many, many others. >> if he seemed to mock president obama a little bit and he has also mocked the benjamin netanyahu. the question is could net netanyahu become a problem for president obama again? >> possibly. i don't think he will go alone. because, it's draging in to another war. i think he will continue the flour issues but i don't think

at the end of the day if this is an agreement on resolving the nuclear we w agreement with iran. the. that is a way of a back-handed way of netanyahu discoverering this deal. force. it's the impact to make it difficult for obama to move forward to satisfy israelis. >> let's talk about -- >> there is -- it's u.s. and the israelis and obama in his u.n. speech said that iran can have a nuclear program. they can signal that it can can be some nuclear program. some enrichment in iran and that

he wants none of it. >> has he ended up stronger than

he was before the u.s. went to intervene? >> i think he has. i think there's real fear among assad and supporters for israel of the power of these american strikes. they have the impact in the war and i think they will destroy the air force an maybe tip the mil military balance. the list that had come and the documents and they look good according to the u.n. it's early on but he probably will give up his chemical weapons because he war. the rebelles are divided. there were fighting today syria. i think he could emerge stronger from all of this. >> i think not only do you agree. i want to address president putin given the fact that he brokered this deal in syria and, as david says, the inspectors forward.

is he also looking stronger on the world stage and in tend after all this diplomacy. are we seeing them at the ones who are looking peter than anybody else? >> well, certainly, putin is i think looking stronger. it's the russian intervention that brokered the deal with the chemical weapons. they were the ones that play an important role in negotiating this particular agreement. i think the russians are very happy and they are protected with the subject to military in the united states and russia has a lot of influence over the diplomatic states and agreements with respect to syria and obviously it's sort of very happy. that's why they are cooperating in the international community. it's capable of crushing the

opposition by using weapons -- i think it's too early to tell. i think we will have a better sense of that once these negotiations take place in geneva. whether it's a gradual agreement we ran and whether these are looking a possible direction. >> i think two out of three. i think they are very confident and the third one i think is the question mark. >> an important fall of diplomacy. i appreciate you being with us tonight. coming up next, alzheimer's disease is a leading death in the u.s. why is funding for research on inside story, we bring together unexpected voices closest to the story, invite hard-hitting debate and desenting views and always explore issues relevant to you.

what happens when social media uncovers unheard, fascinating news stories? >>they share it on the stream. >>social media isn't an afterthought. it drives discussion across america. >>al jazeera america social media community, on tv and online. >>this is your outlet for those conversations. >>post, upload, and interact. >>every night, share undiscovered stories. why aren't there more funds

being dedicated to research. we are talking oh to the foundation. >> thank you very much. >> an article said a war on cancer,. we're only talking about a alzheimer's. >> it's a question that a that alzheimer's strikes the old. >> i think we are getting some disease. i will teurpbt around a little bit. i will say until two years a go it was in the shadows. alzheimer's. president obama is the committing funding for research. that's not to say there should be more way more money going in now. >> we are talking about a

national plan. i think it's a disease that people don't talk about. butle - but alzheimer's disease is not a loss. it is the top leading death in the united states and in the top 10. it does seem -- this is such a horrible imbalance. i'm all in favor. >> now is this short sided? >> we will all. seniors at some point and one in three seniors

end up dying with alzheimer's. >> sit a population. we knew the population was going to age but i don't think it will escalate the way it's escalating. so until a condition hits you in the face, people are proactive. i think with alzheimer's disease because of the simpl symptoms oe disease because they lose their memory and lose their ability to kphaopb kat tocommunicate they cannot be a voice to themselves. >> as he says his the long good-bye and we wish him the best. the costs are striking today.. medicare $$1.7 billion.

$35 million go to medicaid and another $27 billion are spent various ways . >> this year's revenues, when you look at numbers, you have to say we have to do something about this. it. >> . there's no doubt about it. families have to leave their jobs. when we talk about health care effect we are not talking about the individual with the disease what about that care give hear the's so over well -pled. 24/7 responsibility and their health suffered as well.

there's another health care cost. >> it takes tremendous toll. >> we are talking about $200 billion that was actually spent. this is care that nobody got cared for. obviously a tremendous problem. >> what you say to people who don't have a family member who haven't been effected directly by alzheimer's. directly. >> i think it does. >> it has sent employers, care giveers have a lot of lost productivity and absenteeism. doesn't it effect their es. >> u it effects teenagers who cannot go on for college pwas they are taking care of the loved one so there's that impact down the

road. without the funding the tkwoels are just sitting there it's important to bring about. >> i think many people are look at something that it effects other people's memory. it's also in a lot of ways, it's become the leading cause of death and likely to grow and people with alzheimer's. how does alzheimer's kill people? >> the brain cells stop communicating with one another. that's the best way to put it. the physical functions of a person breaks down as well. it goes from mental losss to behavior issues to physical breakdown and ultimately death

it can can last 2 to 20 years. >> it's a only chronic disease continuing to climb. let's look at some information here. it's gone up by 68% while breast cancer by 2%. it's heard disease and 16%. hiv42% they have all dropped and the national institute of health spends over $6 million-dollars why tkrou think that is? >> they will speak up more it is hard to gave voice.

it's a disease that needs to be rekopbd with. >> it's so hard when you see those numbers. >> we have a social media question. >> are there organizations that help with plow cost care. i'm asking far friend who is parents. >> that's a good question. it's enormous. that's what we hear about most. the foundation of america, that's the social workers are dealing with every day. so organizations do -- the organizations office and that's a good first start but there are scholarships available so that a loved one can athe tend an adult program. there are some prescription drug programs available that offer discount drugs at cost. i think also people need to hold down the cost.

we really need to develop a care team to rely on family and friends. it's really -- they try to do it all. they think they need to. it's so everyone can take better care of themselves. >> are we seeing progress? we are seeing a lot of researchers working on this? >> i think everyone is determined to find a cure. were seeing different aspects being looked at now. more evidence that this is a long time before symptoms appear. these what's being looked at. there's agents that are being looked at and other scans that are able to detect the disease earlier. early detection the key. once it's detebgtd, people can have improved quality of life. they can get on the drugs they are and they can reach out for organizations for support. they get educateed for the disease and make a plan for the future and the plan down the road is another issue that needs to be dealt with.

>> there are thins people can do toward off alzheimer's and go to your doctors to see what it is to help. >> . again, things that are being researched, a healthy lifestyle choices are important for successful aging. the things that are good for your heart are aless good for your brain. mental activity. correct. good nutrition. all those good healthy lifestyles choices that we talked about are good when you say alzheimer's disease or not. >> let's hope more attention -- it could be a major crisis to the future. coming up, why did the new york city jail system cost more

tomorrow night, fault lines investigates wage practices in

the restaurant industry. >> the employers have the upper hand out here. they can steal from you and face very little if any consequences. >> basically this industry is saying, "we don't have to pay these workers at all. they should work for us but we don't have to pay them. >> two thirds of low-wage workers experience wage theft every week. >> you're telling me that these people are allowed to treat people like this and you can't do anything?

chances are you haven't heard of it or the film maker. instructions not included has only been in theaters for a month but it's become the fourth biggest money maker far foreign language film in american history it trails the "crouching dragon." the star is being called the mexican tyler perry for his ability to market to an under serve market in mesh. america. is it the beginning of a new america?

he is the co-founder of movie pass. he also founded the urban world film festival. a festival for films by and for african-american, latino and asian audiences. great to have you with us. i want to start with you. "instructions not included." it's by b bilingual that marketed to the hispanic audience. was that part of the success? >> i think numbers proved that was. it's showing in 13 or 15 theaters right now. five or six showings a day. i assume that they went really hard in the latino audience. they didn't produce the size of an audience that we simply haven't seen before.

it's a little telenovela. the director says that's one of his biggest inflew kwrepbss and it's shraoeubgtly fan as the call and it's not in a sexual way but i have to say it's quite enjoyable. they make huge section of the audience but all the money and a lot of over sight is your white male.

>> it reminds you of tyler perry. what tyler perry has done. again, it's brought up. the african-american audiences have been underserved by not seeing movies that are aimed at them and their particular interests and desires. why? there's a studio system where they will put minorities but they don't target on it because it doesn't work as well for foreign. >> although tyler perry has not done very well abroad. >> we don't want go far. we will put minorities in a film rather than targeting here. because now so much of the money is made from porn. >> they are still talking about that. so you'd think that a movie that's appealing.

tyler perry is a good example. why are we seeing it more? phenomenon. i think we're starting to see that swing of independence start to come back up so we are starting to see that happen. that's why you have a film like this break out because we have this type of work. >> it's not just a racial or th*eti orethic thing. we talk about "passion of the christ" kirk cameron has done the same in a series of christian films. is this part of a new normal you think? are we going to see more of these films that are targeted at some specific audiences or marketed to specific audiences? yes and no. we have a big problem and we have been talking about this with the film industry is that in america it's contracting the a little bit.

more of the money is coming from overseas. we have inside the american film industry. there's a lot of problem in this industry. now there is a way in the internet an in the social network and target these things better. we will find people marketing more and more sophisticated. on the other hand, there's also this quality issue. tyler perry is treated by most critics. those are very, very broad comedies i think in different production values. this is reminded me a bit of "my big fat greek wedding." even though it targeted a smaller group and had the same charm so one of the things i think has to happen is where the minority group is, they need to start making more money and they can make bad or good movies because there's a lot of bad

movies made by white people. every ethic group have the right to fail and succeed on the same level. there's an article that said the others a caother oscar winners t could not have been played by white actors. >> by definition, they were not cross overrules. >> while white actors won oscars forever and playing roles that had no definite ethnicity. do you see any progress? >> the progress that i see is where

you look at a lot of the woman's role. to see in that opening scene in star trek is with spock. it's with washington in the scandal. these woman can can be any woman. so they are talking about oscars, that's one step and that might be too narrow . i think you are seeing roles and you can play anything you want. that's never happened before. >> we have a question. >> thanks, antonio. why aren't there any dynamic tic roles for black actors? >> similar or the whey was just

mentioning, i think the roles that we have never seen before. we are seeing roles that you would just, a bond girl being african-american now. you are looking at stern tabus so i think we're breaking stereotypes that we have never seen. there are more and more directors that are being able to do things and to see sit likely to see directors who are now just directing work and it doesn't matter, you don't even know the coral of the director, i think it's starting to really change things. >> we discussed, not just the oscars, is television more friendly in general to color? >> i think we can make that argument. that's an interesting point because there's a lot of movies to be made and a lot of tv shows to be made but you think about oz and the wire.

there's extraordinary roles for blacks and produce interesting stars as well. that's another point they was making. the more production that i have the t all the numbers from the different groups will rise and try themselves and better positioned for future. there's all sorts of interest in hollywood. one hollywood are the people who vote on the the oscars which most people don't know are overwhelming white and male. 92% white. that's a big problem. joining us are the people who pay for movies. the people who are shelling out the money to get these movies made. those their people that we really have to get to. then finally the other hollywood is us, the viewing public, frankly. we will have to show that we will see those. >> we will have to leave it there. bill, stacy, thank you for being with us tonight. the show may be over but the
