A former Secret Service agent pleaded guilty to money laundering for his role in diverting $800,000 in digital currency as part of the Silk Road Task Force, which was working to bring down, among others, the "Dread Pirate Roberts," who runs the Silk Road, a covert online marketing for illicit goods. This is like Dan Brown meets William Goldman. [8/17/17]
