Per Business Insider:
According to the criminal complaint, Shrem helped Robert Faiella, a 52-year-old Florida resident, process Bitcoin sales from customers on Silk Road who wanted to buy drugs. The scheme was allegedly a huge part of BitInstant's revenue stream.
"Faiella obtained Bitcoins with the company's assistance, and then sold them to Silk Road users at a mark-up," it says.
The complaint alleges Shrem himself bought drugs on the site.
