Largest Underground Drug Marketplace Shut Down by Law Enforcement
As stated by The Verge, AlphaBay, debatably the most largest and notorious underground marketplace for illegal goods, has been shut after an international effort by law enforcement that saw one of AlphaBay’s operators captured in Thailand.
Alexandre Cazes, a Canadian citizen, was arrested by Thai authorities on July 5th, the same day the AlphaBay marketplace went down. The US took lead of the charge on extradition.
