Federal agents shut down Silk Road, a sprawling online black market bazaar, on Oct. 2, 2013. The site operated on TOR, also known as The Onion Router, a website that routes users through multiple computers to conceal their locations and identities. Buyers and sellers on the site did business in bitcoin, a digital currency that gave users another layer of anonymity.
