Secret Service agent who stole $820K from Silk Road pleads guilty

The Silk Road saga had a stunning coda in April, when two of the federal agents who investigated the site were charged with stealing from it as well.

One of those two agents has now reached a plea deal with prosecutors. Shaun Bridges, a computer expert for the US Secret Service, is accused of stealing $820,000 in bitcoins from various drug dealers on the site.
