Its been hinted that they'll be busting other Tor marketplaces in the next day or so. I wonder if they were similarly infiltrated and what effect that will have on the community.
- psykovsky 12y agoOn the community I have no idea, but I imagine the next reincarnation of these type of markets will have to be managed by lone wolfs out of a cave in Afghanistan.

- nyolfen 12y agoin all seriousness perhaps iranian hosts would be a viable route
- duaneb 12y agoIn all seriousness, is there any legal precedent for seizing/shooting down satellites?
- anigbrowl 12y agoSpace law tends to be extrapolated from maritime law as many of the legal condundrums are similar. So if you had a pirate satellite then it could probably be seized under a letter of marque. It's a fun question, I'll look into it.
- shitehawk 12y agoI am not sure you want to stare down the Iranian justice system.
- chatmasta 12y agoThe US would never extradite to Iran, so unless you are so desperate to open a "dark net market" that you move to Iran, you will stare down the US justice system, not the Iranian tribunals.
- opendais 12y agoIf you don't live in Iran, staring down the Iranian justice system [given the lack of love other nations have for them] is pretty easy. Tbh tho, I wouldn't be surprised if you setup an Iranian site that you weren't accused of "funding terrorist operations" and the trial gets replaced with a US drone strike.
- et2o 12y agoTo my knowledge, there have not been any drone missile strikes in Iran. That would likely constitute an act of war. Iran did shoot down a spy drone back in 2011. Point taken, though.
- anigbrowl 12y agoYou'd probably fall afoul of sanctions law if you tried that.
- jacobwcarlson 12y agoCloud9 and Hydra are now displaying seizure notices as well.
- anonDNMuser 12y agoThey've already busted a few other markets. Currently Hydra, Cloud 9, and SR2 all show seizure notices when visited. The largest two markets, Agora and Evolution, are surprisingly both going strong right now. dnstats.net keeps track of markets uptime. You can use the website to watch for other markets that may fall.
- crazypyro 12y agoOr maybe someone is trying to get out of the market and pocket all of the wallet funds sitting on another marketplace. Seriously, if you were running a Tor marketplace and one of your competitors goes down, it is a perfect cover for running away with everyone's bitcoins and disappearing.
