AlphaBay: From Dark Web Kingpin to Fallen Empire
AlphaBay: From Dark Web Kingpin to Fallen Empire
AlphaBay, once the dark web's kingpin marketplace, peddled illegal goods and fueled criminal activity. Its takedown was a victory, but the dark web's hydra keeps rising, posing new challenges for law
Pretty sure I bought shrooms from a vender there once a few years back. Cool dude, sent me some weed as a freebie because I made a large order
Now don't get me wrong, I believe the illegal arms trade and drug trade are mostly very bad, but knowing the amount that is made on the legal drug/arms trade makes the 23M figure look like pennies. And knowing that Bezos made 13B in a single day off of a network that is fueled by many levels of exploitation, including trafficking... idk.
This is definitely interesting but I always find the focus on crime, and not measurable harm, kind of a silly viewpoint.
