Update to the story: He admitted it all.
Quote:
Blake Benthall, the man accused of running the deep web’s notorious illegal marketplace the Silk Road, reportedly confessed minutes after being arrested yesterday in San Francisco.
Ars Technica reported from Benthall’s first court hearing today, which lasted around 15 minutes. Federal prosecutor Kathryn Haun reportedly told the court that Benthall has already admitted to running the Silk Road.
“Mr. Benthall did admit to everything after receiving his Miranda rights — that he was the administrator of Silk Road 2.0,” Haun said to the court.
