Let me take a guess - Fentanyl is being sold on the new markets the Dutch police handed over their market share to.
- plussed_reader 9y agoFrom TFA: "During their time as black market administrators, the Dutch police only banned one product on Hansa: the highly dangerous opioid Fentanyl. All other drugs on the site continued to flow freely, a circumstance over which Ras and Boekelo seem surprisingly unconflicted. "They would have taken place anyway," says Ras without hesitation, "but on a different market." "
- kristofferR 9y agoExactly - the Dutch police let Fentanyl be sold freely by shutting down Hansa, where it wasn't allowed.
- r1pped 9y agoWhat? They stopped the selling of Fentanyl when they had access to the site. Hansa allowed Fentanyl to be sold before they got into the servers.
- akvadrako 9y agoIf they had continued to run the site they would reduce the amount of users of other marketplaces, where Fentanyl is sold. Basically, if the government ran a legitimate darknet marketplace, they could reduce the sales of the worst substances.
