An idea: much of the time the way dark net vendors are taken down involve the IRS. Did you know that you can legally report illicit income, legally, with ostensibly no negative consequence?
>Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8, or on Schedule C (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity.

- justinclift 6y agoBe that as it may, the "parallel construction" thing by various agencies make it a hairy prospect. eg "legally" report stuff there, and strangely enough anonymous tips to your local LEO officer would probably happen. ;)
- AnHonestComment 6y agoYou don’t say what it’s for. Just making unaccounted income isn’t a crime. In more practical terms, the cops already see your electrical bill/weird mail/strange call pattern/questionable cash transactions from other sources — why add tax evasion as an extra charge? The world is a rough place; a lot of people overlook mild infractions if you pay them their cut. The US government is better than par, but they have their own games that go on.
- alasdair_ 6y agoSure, but the IRS has no jurisdiction in either Germany or Australia for non-citizens.
- malwarebytess 6y agoThat doesn't mean the vendors or market operator associates don't operate within IRS jurisdiction, and it also doesn't meant that the European and Australian authorities wouldn't work with the IRS to pool intelligence on organized international crime.
