Senior Silk Road adviser pleads guilty to conspiracy charges

-

罗杰·托马斯·克拉克(Roger Thomas Clark)是暗网上流行的丝绸之路市场(Silk Road)的所有者的高级顾问,他已经对一项合谋分销毒品的指控表示认罪。
这一认罪在昨天的司法部新闻发布会上公开。正如新闻稿所指出的,克拉克是从一开始就参与了丝绸之路的建设,为市场的运营者罗斯·乌尔布里希特(Ross Ulbricht)提供咨询,教他如何经营业务,同时还试图安排一项雇佣凶杀服务,以保护该企业及其运营者的利益。例如,他雇佣了一名前雇员的凶手,这名前雇员被怀疑从该组织窃取了35万美元的比特币。针对这一指控的起诉目前仍在进行中。
老板的得力助手
新闻稿指出,在丝绸之路运营期间,克拉克使用了诸如“Plural of Mongoose”和“Variety Jones”等化名。据报道,乌尔布里希特还将他描述为一个“真正的导师”,帮助确保该网站的运营和安全始终处于最佳状态。
除了提供运营帮助外,克拉克据称还帮助乌尔布里希特编造了一个说辞,声称他已经出售了丝绸之路的域名。他还试图在当局调查该平台之前保持与其保持联系,直至最终关闭。
丝绸之路在2013年关闭时是暗网上最大的市场。该平台促进了毒品、武器和其他非法物品和服务的销售,人们使用比特币进行支付。
丝绸之路的辉煌令人印象深刻,以至于至今仍有该平台上的经营者和合作者被逮捕。与该案有关的最后一起重要逮捕发生在去年7月,当时最受欢迎的毒品贩子之一休·布莱恩·哈尼(Hugh Brian Haney)在纽约被当局逮捕。
当时,纽约南区联邦检察官杰弗里·S·伯曼(Geoffrey S. Berman)发表声明称,哈尼曾使用加密货币洗钱,从丝绸之路的交易中获得了高达1900万美元的利润。哈尼经营各种商品,尤其专注于毒品和麻药。
国土安全部调查局的特工安吉尔·M·梅伦德斯(Angel M. Melendez)补充说,自丝绸之路关闭以来,一些经销商一直在设法通过各种方式将他们的资金从该平台中提取出来。调查人员使用区块链分析技术发现了哈尼的资金,并在2011年至2012年期间与他联系,涉及奥斯康定的交易。
执法机构在这方面取得的成功突显了这些官员在打击这个互联网隐蔽领域的有组织犯罪方面所取得的更大进展。
2019年在这方面取得了一些重要进展,其中最显著的里程碑是关闭了华尔街市场(Wall Street Market)——该平台在关闭时是第二大受欢迎的暗网市场。
