Rush, 4 Million transactions between buyers and sellers, representing over $430 Million dollars in services generated from around the world...thats unprecedented!

Not only counterfeiting (which I'm sure was huge,) but all kinds of narcotics and other drugs, which I'm certain represented a big chunk of these sales also. Narcotics are usually very big business over the "dark web" too.

The authorities seized over $75-Million in assets also. Thats really big time stuff! No penny-ante action with these guys.

And I suspect the reason why the case was brought in the Northern District of Illinois is because thats where the conspiracy probably started. (thats typical of how jurisdiction works.)


How do these dark web guys ship drugs without it being detected? Isn't it more risky for the buyer than the seller considering they are accepting illegal drugs being delivered to their home?




I'm with you, Rush. I can only say that I wish I knew how they do that. I really have no clue how they're able to get drugs and contraband (but, especially drugs) past U.S. Mail inspectors as well as International Mail investigators to pull off such feats. Over and over again. When we know that the authorities are on the lookout for such smuggled contraband and reportedly have "detection methods" in place to uncover such schemes.

But, quite obviously, they're doing it...and doing it quite well. Because this operation was humungous and its not the first one, nor shall it be the last, to conduct such surreptitious businesses.
