“Curtis Green, the administrator of Silk Road, the online black market for drugs and other contraband, pleaded guilty to a cocaine conspiracy charge, according to federal prosecutors in Maryland. Green, 47, of Utah, helped an undercover agent for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arrange the purchase of one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of cocaine for about $27,000 in the digital currency Bitcoin from a drug vendor on Silk Road, prosecutors said in papers unsealed yesterday in federal court in Baltimore. ‘People who believe they can commit crimes anonymously using the Internet should reconsider,’ Rod Rosenstein, U.S. attorney for the District of Maryland, said in a statement.”
