Benoit Tessier/Reuters The New York Times is reporting that two former Federal agents, who both worked on the Silk Road case, are going to be charged with Bitcoin money laundering.

"The former agents are Carl Mark Force IV, who worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration, and Shaun Bridges, who worked for the Secret Service," the report said.

Force and Bridges worked undercover investigating Silk Road, a now-closed Internet black market where people could buy drugs anonymously.

Silk Road was shut down in October 2013 following an FBI raid. The government also seized thousands of Bitcoins from Silk Road.

In February, Ross Ulbricht, the 30 year-old behind the site, was found guilty on seven counts including trafficking drugs on the Internet, narcotics-trafficking conspiracy, running a continuing criminal enterprise, computer-hacking conspiracy and money-laundering conspiracy.
