2- What happened to Silk Roadsilk road logo
3- Consequences
4- Whats happening now
1- Silk Road was a dark net Market best know for selling all kinds of drugs Worldwide.
Silk Road was launched on February of 2011 and operated under the Tor network.
The original onion address was http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion untill it got seized by the FBI back in 2013
2- What happened to Silk Road was that it got really big, the media started to be all over it and it got the attention of the US government.
After grabbing the atenttion from autoritys, small dealers started to get caught and convicted here and there.
Untill finally the FBI was able to locate the real location of the server, from there they infiltrated deep on the website and eventually were able to arrest the supposed owner/creator/administrator Ross William Ulbricht AKA”Dread Pirate Roberts”ross ulbritch linkedin
3- A consequence of all this, was that the Dark Web gained notoriety, more and more Illegal markets started to emerge. Inclusive soon after the FBI closed the Silk Road Market the Silk Road 2 Market was created by three administrators of the original Silk Road website relaunched it under the name Silk Road 2, this website was operational from Nov 06 2013 untill Nov 06 2014.
Silk Road 3 would follow, but this one was just a rebrand of another Dark Web Market “Diabolus”
4- What we have now is a crazy uprising of new dark web markets. It seems that for each market the authorities take down, 2 more appear to replace them.
