About a month ago, federal prosecutors successfully prosecuted an internet entrepreneur for launching a lucrative anonymous cyber exchange known as “the Silk Road.” FBI agents supposedly worked to investigate and shut down the free-exchange web network for several years. Federal efforts against “the Silk Road” exchange were accompanied by a massive across-federal-agencies offensive promoting more government power over the internet to stop “cybercrime” and “cyberterror.”
It has now been revealed that FBI agents “investigating” the Silk Road exchange were actually siphoning millions of dollars to their own secret, hidden accounts, and were blackmailing suspects. A lewrockwell.com report on this scandal is here.
