The US Marshals will auction Ross Ulbricht's $11million bitcoin fortune that they discovered hidden on a computer hard drive during a raid on his home.

The 32-year-old criminal created the Silk Road website on the dark web which facilitated more than $200 million of anonymous online drug dealing all paid with the digital currency bitcoin.

Ulbricht was jailed for life earlier this year for his role in creating the website. As part of his sentencing, he agreed to surrender his bitcoin fortune and allow it to be auctioned.

If the last sentence is true (probably not) he made a very bad deal...
