Government Agents Steal $1 Million

Two former federal agents stand accused of stealing $1 million in digital currency during the course of an investigation. Carl Force was a Drug Enforcement Administration agent. He was arrested in Baltimore and was in custody as of yesterday. Former Secret Service agent Shaun Bridges is free on bail in San Francisco. 

Prosecutors said the pair used their computer skills to steal bitcoins from the operator of an online drug bazaar. They say the pair appears to have been working independently of one another. Force and Bridges are accused of wire fraud, money laundering and theft of government property. The operator of the web site, known as Silk Road, was eventually convicted.
