Drugs traffic & financial safety
A former FBI agent testified that he directly traced millions in bitcoin
to the personal computer of the man accused of running the underground drug
website Silk Road, but privacy advocates continue to raise concerns over how
the evidence was gathered.
According
to testimony from former FBI agent Ilhwan Yum on Thursday, more than 3,760
bitcoin transactions were traced directly from Silk Road servers to Ross
Ulbricht over the course of 12 months ending in August 2013, Wired reported. The digital currency was
used to make illegal drug transactions on the underground website, which the
government says was created and run by Ulbricht.
