A group using a little-known part of the Internet to sell California marijuana to people in at least 16 other states has been broken up by federal investigators.

Matthew Gillum, 29, of Loomis, and Jolene Chan, of Roseville, each face charges of marijuana distribution, unlawful use of the mail, conspiracy to distribute marijuana and avoiding currency reporting transaction requirements, reports Dave Marquis at News 10.

The investigation began last year when Sacramento postal inspectors found several Express Mail packages sent to the region containing large sums of money. The packages were sent to are post office boxes, and addressed to fictitious businesses with names like American Sound Concepts and Granite Cove Property Management.

A "controlled delivery" from Granite Bay to New Jersey by postal inspectors in December 2012 led to recipient who "cooperated" with law enforcement. The snitch said he'd bought the marijuana from the website Silk Road, using a fictitious name.
