For those that aren't familiar with the deep web, the Silk Road was a site only accessible via the TOR network. If you don't know what TOR is, look it up. Anyway, The Silk Road was an online black market where people sold drugs and other illegal goods and services.

Yea the owner has to go to NY for several charges

And LOL @ running that site and living in America. That's the worst possible place dude could have lived.

What a dumbass. :facepalm

So... where do I find a hitman now? :dunno

How was this ever around??? Lol and for how long??

It was on the TOR network which is basically like an encrypted internet that routes traffic through a series of nodes making it virtually untrackable. It was around for 2-3 years.

Wow

That's fucking crazy. That is pretty scary when you think about it. Glad they got it

The downside is that there were also people who bought prescription medication on there on the cheap because they didn't have insurance and couldn't afford to buy it "legally." What are those people going to do? What about people that are addicted to a certain drug, but now no longer have this safe way to get drugs? They're going to have to go to sketch areas to try to feed their addictions.

They talked about that stuff in the article I posted.

I've seen other sites to buy prescription pills. Probably not narcotics but legit prescription pills. I don't care about people buying illegal drugs online period. I just don't. The scary stuff outweighs any of the perceived good in my eyes.

A lot of downsides and upsides.



IMO the majority are going to do it and will not stop for anything. It would be a different circumstance if taking a supplier away made the users quit using instead of just paying more, or going further, worse places.



I'd much rather them be able to buy them cheaper, or be able to buy them 2nd one for the ones who actually need them). But many will take money that's supposed to go for their bills, spouses, kids and take it and spend it. If they have to pay more they will and the family just has less.

Yeah but people are buying large amounts of illegal drugs on there. Not amounts for personal use. The user still has to go to them or someone under them to get the drugs. It's the bad people who are using the site to sell to the user. A site like this won't make it any less shady. They will just have to try harder to find big connects something every other drug dealer ever had to do :lol:

Just another example of the U.S. over stepping with their internet authority.

Are you serious? :ays

Can't be

lol not being serious, but seriously I heard someone say that the other day. Dude might of had tinfoil underneath his hat.

And air/nothing underneath that

they had some guy who left his phone on a subway train or a bus and they found all kinds of child porn from the deep web and busted a whole underground child porn circuit or some shit from his phone

I went to the "deep web" once



ONCE........

I don't even want to go there. it's like the bhutt shex of phorn. :shock:

Only problem with taking out shit like this is that another place like it will eventually pop up again. Its kinda like taking out piratebay. They keep popping back up.
