  • Will This Be The World’s Greatest Crime Bust? They’re Arresting Silk Road Users Now

    The seizure of the hidden Silk Road website and arrest of the founder and head administrator, Ross Ulbricht may have precipitated the arrest of users of the site in Sweden, Britain, and the USA.

    A man and his room mate arrested in Washington are believed to be in the “top one percent” of Silk Road drug dealers, and were nicked for selling methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine—including one particular blend called “1980s Time Machine.”

    It is unclear whether authorities in Britain and Sweden were working in conjunction with the FBI, or with data collected from Silk Road servers by the FBI during the seizure.

    In the UK, it was not local police who are going after the suspected Silk Road drug dealers but rather the National Crime Agency, a new organization that more or less amounts to a British FBI. But again, we don’t yet know if they’re working with the FBI or if the arrests are isolated.

    Multiple threads of ex-Silk Road users have sprung up on Reddit. People are freaking out in anticipation of their arrest. And they should be.
