- kzzzznot 7y agoDon’t these methods of selling drugs mean the police can really easily infiltrate/perform a ‘sting’ operation? How do they verify the buyer and protect themselves from this?
- wp381640 7y agoIn Ukraine and Russia dead-drops as a method of delivery is common. They also use the postal system just like regular dark web markets, what Telgram groups and contacts replace is the actual market part, reputation scoring and escrow
- onemoresoop 7y agoInteresting. I didn't know what dead-drops were. Here's the wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_drop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_drop

- ggg2 7y agothis is mostly because of reach. telegram is the defacto communication medium in russia and ukraine. they don't sell there for one reason or another. it's simply because all their clientele is there. no need to overthink it.
