I'm not positive, but do you mean the guy who ran the silk road. A website that's sole purpose was drugs. Which would be the difference! The marketplace being built is not INTENDED for drugs. Same with any marketplace. But the silk road was purely for illicit product.

What’s the evidence to support this claim? I always thought Silk Road was just built as an anonymous marketplace facilitating payments with digital gold. The market decided that the best use case for this was drugs.
Sorry but your a dolt if you think silk road was intened as a market place for drugs. It was a free and open market and set up as such with the tech available to make it as resilient as possible. The users decided to sell drugs.

That's definitely not true, I bought non-drug related things. But also drugs.

There was a lot of books which were banned/illegal on some jurisdictions(such as China) and these were the most sold items every I visited the site
