Silk Road Arrests In Seattle, Britain, Sweden As Crackdown Continues
The takedown of the underground drug market Silk Road was apparently just the beginning. Since then, authorities have arrested Silk Road customers and dealers in Seattle, the UK, and Sweden—and promise more to come.
Meanwhile, the FBI is attempting to track down the Silk Road Bitcoin fortune. They've seized about 26,000 Bitcoins belonging to Silk Road customers but are still searching for over 600,000 Bitcoins—$80 million—Ulbricht himself is believed to have amassed while running Silk Road, according to the Guardian.

The idea has been around since the early 90s. Bitcoin and Silk Road are just the first viable implementations.

Interesting article.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/04/wo…Ive never heard of any of the crap these jokers are doing down there on the dark web. Using bitcoins to order drugs, weapons and even assassinations. I did hear about the dark/deep web before but never knew what is was until I read this article. Totally not in the know with this shit.
