SilkRoad 2.0, the underground market, was recently hacked and lost all of its Bitcoin funds. The administrators, namely Defcon, have vowed to pay back all of the funds.
"This leadership and this community will not stop until you are completely repaid," Defcon vowed.
"We know you feel defenseless right now. You are naked. Many of you are convinced there is no logical reason any darknet admin would ever fight to get your coins back."
Last week's incident saw a hacker exploit a transaction malleability vulnerability that resulted in the theft of $2.7m worth of Bitcoins. 26 per cent of Silk Road's active users, according to the sites administrators, saw their entire Silk Road account funds wiped out in the attack.
Silk Road administrators are continuing to investigate the theft.
