The wallet may have ties to the notorious darknet marketplace Silk Road, which was shuttered in 2013.

Silk Road darknet site first opened in 2011 and quickly turned into a forum for the distribution of illegal drugs, computer hacking services, fake identifications and firearms. At its peak, the U.S. Justice Department estimated that the forum had more than 100,000 customers and operators took a cut of all transactions.”]
