Some of the underground drug dealers that international police have taken down in recent months
Last October, the FBI shut down Silk Road and arrested its founder, Ross Ulbricht. But if you thought that was the end of the online drug bazaar, you’d be wrong.
In the months following Ulbricht’s arrest, law enforcement around the world have doubled down on their efforts to find the dealers that operated on Silk Road. Without much fanfare, they’ve taken down an interesting assortment of people—folks who ran $200 million drug empires, a boyfriend-girlfriend drug-dealing duo and even a gynecologist who moonlighted as a dealer.
Just last week, the FBI announced a new indictment: Angel William Quinones, a 34-year-old man from Florida who allegedly imported MDMA into the United States. What’s most interesting about the Quinones case is actually not Quinones himself—it’s who he was buying from: Cornelis Jan Slomp, the most prolific drug dealer on Silk Road.
Over the two years it existed, Silk Road became the eBay of online drug dealing—with hundreds, perhaps thousands, of vendors. The dealers sold MDMA, mephedrone, nitrous oxide, ketamine, weed, cocaine and much more.
Here’s a look at some of the most well-known—and colorful—dealers the feds have shut down for selling goods on Silk Road.
