22. THE ARISING OF CRYPTOMARKET: STUDI KASUS SITUS SILK ROAD TAHUN 2011-2015

Abstract

The development of international crimes related to drug trafficking, facilitated by Silk Road
site since 2011, has thrived on the latest advanced technology. The site has been known as
“cryptomarket” introduced by James Martin on his research results in 2013, which were also
in the spotlight because of the closure of the site in the Silk Road at the same year. Although
Silk Road also sales goods other than the categories of drugs, this research proves that until
the year of 2015, the third version of this site is still focused on the provision of drugs and
still continues to increase from the previous versions. The result of this research represent the
development of cryptomarket through the growth of Silk Road in the years 2011-2015. This
research analyzes the development of the international regime on cybercrime and drugrelated
crimes, and also compare the development of cryptomarket through Silk Road.
