Bitcoin and Drug Trafficking - The Very First Play of Drugs and Cryptocurrency

The first really play of drugs and crypto is Silk Road, right? That was one of the most innovative spaces for somebody to be like, how do I get this onto the black market without being detected by law enforcement? So just same question. Was shocking crime using Bitcoin? They weren't necessarily shocking to me because criminals often go where the sort of technology is. But the first time I was really struck by how interesting crypto really could be was when I read the indictments charging those Russian intelligence officers with interfering in the 2016 elections.
