A cryptographic key associated with the wallet has been reportedly circulating in underground forums for some time, researchers say. 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.”]
