Silk Road, the 'eBay of illegal drugs' busted by the FBI (POST IN THIS THREAD, DON'T MAKE A NEW ONE)
    #18920981 - 10/02/13 12:56 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)



The largest illegal drug marketplace on the Internet has reportedly been shut down by the FBI.

The Silk Road, an underground website famous for allowing users to mail order any drug from cocaine and heroin to meth and mescaline using the anarchic virtual currency Bitcoin, has finally gone dark.

American journalist Brian Krebs has just published what he says is a copy of a legal complaint filed in the Southern District of New York against one Ross Ulbricht, the alleged owner of the site, who goes by the name Dread Pirate Roberts - a reference to 'The Princess Bride'.

Krebs tweeted: "got confirmation from US Attorney in NY that Dread Pirate Roberts guy was arrested in San Francisco."

Hosted on the so-called 'Deep Web', a lesser-known and virtually unpoliced part of the Internet that isn't indexed by Google robots, the Silk Road had long been considered unhackable, and therefore untouchable by the US Government. According to the FBI, as of 23 September, there were nearly 13,000 listings for controlled substances on the site.

Ulbricht is to be charged with conspiracy to traffick narcotics, conspiracy to hack computers, and conspiracy to launder money. The site, which is only accessible through the Tor network, an online platform that supposedly guarantees anonymity, has been taken down and replaced with an FBI notice. The Silk Road forums are still operating, however.

According to the documents filed in New York, Ulbricht was in possession of around 26,000 Bitcoins, worth somewhere in the region of $3.6m – the largest seizure of the notorious cryptocurrency to date.

They might as well leave this one open cause everyone else is just going to keep posting about it as they find out about it.

Kind of funny, if that thread where to have been deleted as a violation of sources, the shroomery would not have been mentioned. Granted, no one really knew what it was that was being sold there at the time.

They just mention how the shroomery was the first mention of silk road by a user with only one post. Conclusion the shroomery was the guys first advertisement.

Basically it sounds like somebody went looking for the earliest mentions of SR online. One was here, and the other was on the Bitcoin forums.
