“Federal agents arrested 32-year-old Dr. Olivia Bolles at her home in Newark, Delaware, today and accused her of illegally selling drugs online to buyers in at least 17 countries through the former SilkRoad online drug market. Bolles, a resident physician at Christiana Hospital, the dominant healthcare system in northern Delaware, was charged with illegal distribution of controlled substances. The indictment says she sold drugs through SilkRoad, which used the electronic private fiat currency Bitcoin to make it hard to identify buyers and sellers. She faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison if found guilty.”
