The biggest story of the week biggest tech story of the week (obviously the shutdown is the biggest general interest story of the week) is that the Feds (claim to have) busted Silk Road, the anonymous, Bitcoin driven marketplace for illegal drugs and other wares. Here are some of the most interesting follow-up stories I read this week:
FBI agent Christopher Tarbell busted both LulzSec’s Sabu and Silk Road.
But the guy they arrested claims he’s innocent
But for better or worse, there are other competitors to Silk Road.
That’s because the Feds busted Silk Road, not Tor.
More about Ross Ulbricht, the man allegedly behind Silk Road.
