Hot Take:

Who would have thought that naming your illegal marketplace “Crimenetwork” might draw a little attention from the authorities? Seriously, it seems like the perfect lesson in what not to do if you’re trying to fly under the radar while running an online emporium of illicit goodies. It’s like opening a speakeasy called “Illegal Booze Here” during Prohibition. But hey, at least the marketing was straightforward!

Key Points:

  • German authorities have once again shut down the Crimenetwork platform.
  • A 29-year-old suspected admin was arrested, with €1 million in cryptocurrency seized.
  • Crimenetwork facilitated over €90 million in illegal sales between 2018 and 2024.
  • The platform had more than 100,000 users, mainly German-speaking.
  • Authorities released a retro-style video hinting at access to the platform’s data.
