FBI seized the notorious site, but the very next month, a nearly identical site opened for business. Blake Benthall, 26, is charged with conspiracy to commit drug trafficking, computer hacking, money laundering and other crimes. If convicted, he could be sentenced to life in prison. The arrest comes almost a year after the arrest of a San Francisco man, also known as “Dread Pirate Roberts”
