“Federal authorities last week arrested a Washington state man accused of being one of the most active and sought-after drug dealers on the online black market known as the ‘Silk Road.’ Meanwhile, new details about the recent coordinated takedown of the Silk Road became public, as other former buyers and sellers on the fraud bazaar pondered who might be next and whether competing online drug markets will move in to fill the void. Update, Oct. 8, 2013: The BBC is reporting that four men have been arrested in the U.K. for alleged drug offenses on the Silk Road, and that more arrests are expected in the coming weeks.”
