FBI busts the Silk Road

The internet drug store has been busted by the FBI. The Silk Road sold pot, meth, LSD, and lots of other drugs. They also gave instructions on how to vacuum seal drugs to send through the mail, which is how they shipped their stuff.

someone beat you to it

 

Wasn't in a race to be first, was trying to give a heads up. Still can't find the one you're talking about though. This LATEST NEWS section is too much bullshit.

This one has the best article though.

 

^^^right you are. good call

 

aw man, i din't even know about this place!

 

The blurb @ top gives the wrong impression. "How they ship their stuff" is not accurate. There is no "they"--each vendor was an individual and they all had their own shipping practices. SR was a marketplace uniting vendors with buyers. SR sold nothing and shipped nothing.

 

Did they or did they not sell unlicensed handguns? I read in an article that they did but various people commented on it that that was not true...that they didn't.

 

There used to be a weapons section, but it eventually moved on to become its own little marketplace on a separate website I believe.

 

So the FBI bought 100 illegal items (presumably from more than source) and instead of going after the person actually selling the drugs ... they go after this dude? What the fuck?

 

It was bound to happen sometime.

 

Man and I was gonna get some shrooms from there...

 

ok so Silk road is down, what about black market reloaded?

We should start a support group called Sulk Road to console one another about the demise of Silk Road. :sad:

 

The underground community has already moved on, with Black Market Reloaded, Sheep Marketplace, and theyre SilkRoad 2.0 is in the works. "Cant stop, wont stop!"

 

^The proprietor of Black Market Reloaded announced the site is being shut down since he compromised his real life identity.

 

there are also multiple mail order marijuana sites that are currently operating fairly out in the open and nobody seems to really try very hard to shut them down. prices are only a little bit higher than what you would expect from a street dealer too.

 

Ah well... Sheep and BMR, amiright?

 

How do I connect to the new "silkroads?" In Tor browser I had to catch some advanced string to find it in search. I would guess it's the same here? Perhaps a PM would be handy so it doesn't go public for the several agencies that's tracking the internet down..
