Dutch Police arrested two men accused of selling ecstasy on Wednesday in the city of Zetten. The men were accused of selling the drug on the popular and controversial website Silk Road.



The 24-year-old and 29-year-old were caught, 'red-handed during the manufacturing of ecstasy in a container behind their home in Zetten. The suspects were arrested with a thick layer of MDMA powder in their hair,' reports The Daily Dot .

The men's Blackberry phones were wiretapped for about a month prior to their arrest.

Silk Road's founder Ross William Ulbricht, 29, was arrested on Oct. 1 at a small branch library in San Francisco as he chatted online with a cooperating witness, according to authorities and court papers.



The entrepreneur's charges go way beyond facilitating drug trafficking like the transactions commissioned from XTC Express.

Ulbricht is charged in Baltimore federal court with soliciting the murder of a former worker who went under the name 'FriendlyChemist' who was arrested on drug charges. The indictment alleges Ulbricht feared the former worker would turn on him and blackmail him.



Ulbricht using his screen name 'Dread Pirate Roberts' is said to have hired a hit man to kill the father of three from British Columbia for 500,000 .

An undercover agent posing as a drug dealer got Ulbricht to send him 27,000 worth of cocaine and after fabricating a story that one of his employees was arrested and needed to be 'silenced' he agreed to have the man killed for 80,000 and asked for a form of evidence like a photograph of the man's face.
