According to Foresight News, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis stated that the 300 bitcoins received by the founder of Silk Road may have originated from early suppliers of the dark web market AlphaBay. Chainalysis claims to have reasonable grounds to suspect that these funds came from AlphaBay.
Foresight News noted that AlphaBay was an illegal goods and services market on the dark web founded by Alexandre Cazes, which was shut down in 2017.
