Alleged online drug kingpin arrested at SF library

Authorities said Wednesday the man was Ross William Ulbricht, and they accused him of being "Dread Pirate Roberts," the once-anonymous mastermind behind the online drug marketplace known as Silk Road. Ulbricht, 29, collected tens of millions of dollars in commissions, investigators said, and twice ordered people killed in a bid to protect his empire.

Never heard of the site Silk Road...the pictures looked liked a huge drug catalog.

Silk Road and The Starck Club.

I feel as though I'm really getting my eyes opened this morning.
