  "notes": "The FBI shut down the original Silk Road darknet marketplace on October 2, 2013, arresting operator Ross Ulbricht in San Francisco under the FBI's announcement (Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney's Office). This is well-documented public history, corroborated by contemporaneous news coverage (e.g. Wired's 'Silk Road' coverage) and the Bitcoin community wiki entries on Silk Road. No on-chain computation applies; this is a panel/off-chain-fact question per the request's evidence:panel field, so the block window only timestamps the request and was not used to derive the answer."
