Những kẻ buôn bán ma túy bằng tiền điện tử trên web đen 'có thể cố gắng ẩn náu ở nơi xa nhất của internet, nhưng Bộ Tư pháp sẽ tìm thấy bạn'

Dark web crypto criminals beware. The US Justice Department has issued a warning after arresting 288 dark web ne’er-do-wells over suspected opioid sales on the notorious drug trafficking site, Monopoly Market, which has since been taken down. 

This recent dark web purge, code name SpecTor, targeted the “largest, most violent, and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world: the Sinaloa Cartel.” That’s according to a powerful bài phát biểu của Tổng chưởng lý Hoa Kỳ Merrick Garland (mở trong tab mới), trong đó anh nói chuyện trực tiếp với những tên tội phạm đang cố lách luật bằng cách hoạt động trên dark web (thông qua Đăng ký (mở trong tab mới)).

Tin nhắn của anh ấy?

“You can try to hide in the furthest reaches of the internet, but the Justice Department will find you and hold you accountable for your crimes.”

The multi-continental SpecTor operation is the biggest ever of its kind, spanning eight countries aside from the US. It’s seen not only the largest number of arrests, but also the US Justice Department’s biggest haul of contraband to date. The score includes “117 illegal firearms, 850 kilograms of drugs, and $53.4 million dollars in cash and cryptocurrency”, says Garland.

“The drug traffickers are confident that, by operating anonymously on the dark web, they can operate outside the bounds of the law. They are wrong.”

Looks like Uncle Sam’s coming to shine the proverbial torch of justice on the dark web, then. It’s all very dramatic, isn’t it? 

Speeches like this make the whole thing feel so much like a stage play; I suspect it’s only fuelling the remainder of the fentanyl flogging dark webbers—laughing in their digital web3 halls, believing themselves to be some action movie mastermind who has yet to be caught.

Garland goes on to announce the Justice Department is “cracking down on criminal cryptocurrency transactions and the online criminal marketplaces that enable them.” It’s clear there is a big focus on cryptocurrency, but as this latest bust goes to show, crypto transactions may not be as spectral as you might think.
