"A former federal agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency pleaded guilty Wednesday to committing extortion, money laundering and obstruction of justice while investigating the Silk Road online marketplace that was used for illegal drug sales.They're all doing it.
Former agent Carl Force, 46, of Baltimore, was lead undercover agent in touch with Ross Ulbricht, who ran the Silk Road operation, the Department of Justice announced. While working under the persona "Nob" in the summer of 2013, he offered to sell Ulbricht fake drivers' licenses and insider law enforcement information in exchange for the digital currency known as bitcoin, the agency said. The bitcoin was deposited into Force's personal account in an amount equaling more than $100,000, according to the Justice Department."
