Dark-Web (silk road) Stopped for a while

[arista]

[Law enforcement agencies from 17 countries flew into The Hague
as 40 digital investigators collaborated on
one of the biggest dark-web takedowns to date.
From the clinical environment of Europol’s Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce
operations room, officers would use their scrambled communications
to co-ordinate with those in the field, making arrests and seizing
servers during the final stages of a six-month long investigation
into underground sites used to sell drugs, guns and hitmen. ]

Probably a wise move, there's a lot more than drugs on the dark web.. some inhumane disgusting barbaric things on there I'm not going to go into because it makes me feel sick.
