Senator Charles Schumer asked the DEA and the Department of Justice yesterday to launch an immediate crackdown on the underground website “Silk Road.” The website allows users to buy and sell illegal drugs and have them delivered right to their doorstep. However, it’s not easy to find the site. You need access to a secret network that secures buyers identities. Forget credit cards or Paypal. They are not accepted. Only Bitcoins are used to purchase the illegal drugs. Bitcoins are an untraceable form of currency. If Schumer is lucky, he may get his wish. The DEA has seized similar website domains in the past.
