"Web's black market peddles drugs, guns and more" - Maria Galindo



Summary:
FBI has recently shut down a "deep Web"site, which is practically like a ninja website where it's meant to be hiding from authorities,etc. This website, Silk Road, was shut down for selling drugs and illegal "stuff." These things, exotic animals, drugs, false documents, and weapons , were mainly "traded,"on or from website branching out of Silk Road. " They had many people depending on their site and had nearly 1.3 billion dollars in transactions.The FBI finally arrested Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road.

Analysis: 
Obviously shutting down a website like this is news and whatnot, but does it really help? As in, does it help with stopping illegal? Good job on telling people where they can try and look for these kinds of things, and how they work. It's not like people were already aware of a black market, know they know where to look. Good job CNN.

"Here is a look at just some of the illegal goods that have been documented as offered for sale on these underground sites. (We're not linking to them, sorry.)"  

You might as well link them now that you've basically exposed them.
