Dark net marketplace Silk Road 'back online'
Reports suggest that the Silk Road, the anonymous marketplace that traded in drugs and other illegal goods, is back online, in a new version.
According to AllThingsVice, a website that monitors the so-called dark net, the new site is already selling a wide range of drugs.
The first version of Silk Road was shut down by the FBI in October and its alleged administrator arrested.
But those behind it always vowed to revive the site.
The new administrator of the revived site has adopted the same handle as the previous operator - Dread Pirate Roberts.
