Silk Road ends: Feds arrest 'Dread Pirate Roberts,' alleged founder of largest Bitcoin drug market

Given the amount of detail of the email exchanges with the alleged blackmailer and hit man, either both of them were actually police and/or informants doing entrapment, or else DPR’s Silk Road system has been compromised for a long time or is retaining information that any sensible Bad Guy would have deleted, indicating that the information security was amazingly bad for a site that’s trying to provide a secure marketplace for illegal activities. Sure glad I didn’t try to buy any, umm, “research chemicals” there.
