All right dealers, back to the streets. Federal officials have arrested Ross Ulbricht, 29, in San Francisco, and shut down his website, Silk Road, where those in search of illicit substances from Molly to Mary Jane could click and buy with Bitcoin. Authorities also seized 26,000 bitcoins, worth about $3.6 million.
