Silk Road

Silk Road was becoming a thriving community that was by no means a place filled with just crack-eds and criminals. Homeland Security Officer Joe Diyegian saw all of this and he was worried about the slow progress of his investigation. He also worried that if more people were finding out about the site, then more law enforcement agencies would want to build a case to shut it down. And he wasn't wrong, there were already other agencies trying to build cases on Silk Road as detailed in the book American Kingpin Joe had found out about it one afternoon in June 2012.
