A second suspect for the operation of Silk Road 2.0 was arrested by the authorities. The Silk Road 2.0 was the anonymous on-line drug-market that sprang up after closing the original Silk Road 2013 from the FBI.
Silk Road 2.0 was shut down in late 2014 with the arrest of Blake Benthall, who was allegedly the ringleader Admin with the pseudonym Defcon.
The latest arrest is Brian Richard Farrell, from Seattle. The 26-year-old allegedly told police he was Defcon's "right hand man".
Farrell, who allegedly uses the nickname DoctorClu, is accused of conspiring to distribute cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine.
Meanwhile Ross's trial continues Ulbricht, who was allegedly the administrator of the original Silk Road.
