Answer» The man accused of operating Silk Road, a deep web marketplace where illegal drugs were sold, has been found guilty.
Ross Ulbricht, 30, was convicted by a Manhattan jury on all seven counts including narcotics and money laundering conspiracies.
Prosecutors said more than a million drug deals took place on Silk Road, earning Ulbricht about $18M in Bitcoins
His defence lawyers had argued he was framed for much of the site's activity and had quit the site.
The jury deliberated less than day before handing down the verdict, which leaves Ulbricht facing a POSSIBLE life sentence.
US Attorney Preet Bharara said the conviction sent a clear message: "The supposed ANONYMITY of the dark web is not a protective shield from arrest and prosecution."
