The irony of the drug war is that all the resources spent, FBI corruption in closing down silk road is what makes the drug cartles richer and overall drug procurmeent more dangerous. If there is anything crypto currency was good for it was that.

Don't worry, from the ashes of Silk Road sprung a hundred more darknet markets. Some of them aren't even scams!

Won't cartels get richer regardless of how one purchases drugs since they are supplying them?

Anyone can supply drugs. It's getting it's distribution that's hard. Silk road used USPS for distribution.
