Alleged operator of Silk Road 2.0 busted, charged in NYC
Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said on Thursday that the FBI earlier in the day had arrested Blake Benthall, also known as "Defcon", for allegedly being kingpin 2.0 of Silk Road 2.0. The Feds said:
As alleged, Blake Benthall attempted to resurrect Silk Road, a secret website that law enforcement seized last year, by running Silk Road 2.0, a nearly identical criminal enterprise. Let's be clear - this Silk Road, in whatever form, is the road to prison. Those looking to follow in the footsteps of alleged cybercriminals should understand that we will return as many times as necessary to shut down noxious online criminal bazaars. We don't get tired.
