“An illegal online market selling hard drugs and fake passports has reopened just six weeks after being shut down by the FBI, it can be revealed today. Silk Road 2.0 – which can only be accessed through a modified internet browser – sells items such as cocaine, ecstasy, fake utility bills and driving licences using the encrypted digital currency ‘bitcoins’. The original website, Silk Road, was closed on October 2 by the FBI, who charged Ross Ublricht, 29 with running the site – which he has denied. The charges against Ulbricht said the original Silk Road – launched in February 2011 – generated sales of more than 9.5million bitcoins – equivalent to $3.3billion or £2.1billion at today’s rates.”
