Prominent: DoctorX

Doctor X, whose actual name is Fernando Caudevilla, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Medicine and Surgery, with a specialization in Family and Community Medicine, as well as a university expertise in drug addiction.

He got started on the darknet as early as 2012, specifically in Silk Road Marketplace (the prototypical and globally known website created by Ross Ulbricht) and his first post ever, in 2013, was a thread called "Ask an expert doctor about health and drugs" that rapidly gained traction in an exponential way, even getting the approval of the very same Dread Pirate Roberts (the site's admin).After the Silk Road's shutdown, DoctorX continued his highly appreciated work in Markets like Silk Road 2, Evolution Marketplace and The Hub, just to mention a few. It's worthy of mention the fact that in a two-years-span his threads got over 130.000 visits and approximately 1000 questions were responded with professional accuracy.

In the year 2015 he got contacted by Ulbricht's defense lawyers because one of the argumentative lines in his judicial trial was that Ross had that issue in consideration and the testimony of Caudevilla was of great value. But that strategy backfired and his testimony was manipulated and ended up being labeled as "facilitator", "despicable" and "irresponsible" by the media covering the case. During this period of time, he not only collaborated with the Spaniard risk prevention association called Energy Control, but also created a project called DoctorX and his Chemical Brothers and Sisters, in which he provided an International Analysis Service. The service consisted in receiving samples of drugs for its content to be revised, toxic contaminants getting deleted and being offered personalized assessment & support if needed. From 2014 to 2019 they received almost 6000 samples, analyzed them and managed to emit alerts about drugs being tampered and falsified, with potential harmful results if they were consumed.

His work not only has been significant in the darknet, but also has got renown in peer-reviewed scientific papers and has been invited as a speaker in diverse forums at the most elevated levels of decisions and policies makers, such as Drugs Policy Alliance, European Drugs Observatory (Cryptocurrencies Task-group) and United Nations; were he has publicly defended the paradoxically figure of darknet market owners and vendors as harm reducers and the inefficiency of judicial enforcement against the free consumption of substances in general.

He currently works as a medic in a private consult, mainly oriented towards monographic clinic about drugs as well as exercising the role of moderator in the Harm Reduction sub forum of Dread, the arguably the most well know darknet site. He has also figured as protagonist of a novel called "DoctorX: The Darknet medic", written by Jose Ángel Mañas and Jordi Ledesma.

If you're interested in go more in depth about his work, his website https://doctorcaudevilla.com gathers thoughtfully most of the publicly accessible information about Fernando Caudevilla, including (but not limited to) a complete compilation of all his work responding questions on the darknet forums, links to all his scientific publications, an index of his public appearances in both media and events hosted by State owned and private organizations and diverse additional general information regarding his persona.
