Efforts by US and European governments to dismantle dark web vendors and their infrastructures continue. This time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Europol, along with police in the UK, France, Poland, Germany, Austria, Brazil, and Switzerland conducted an international law enforcement operation codenamed “SpecTor” leading to the arrest of 288 dark web vendors. Additionally, police seized $53.4M in cash and cryptocurrency as well as 1,874 pounds of narcotics and 117 firearms. Arrests stem from evidence gathered after the secret takedown of the Monopoly marketplace by German authorities in December of 2021, along with information obtained in additional recent dark web takedowns and the help of cryptocurrency tracing tools. Since then, Europol has been compiling intelligence packages from the evidence provided by German authorities to pinpoint major vendors and customers who were highly active on the Monopoly market and other illicit marketplaces. Using this data, they were able to put together a list of high-value targets who engaged in tens of thousands of sales of illicit goods across Europe, the United States, and Brazil who were arrested in the coordinated police effort in their respective countries. The most arrests were made in the US, totaling 153, followed by the UK with fifty-five (55), Germany with fifty-two (52), the Netherlands with ten (10), Austria with nine (9), France with five (5), Switzerland with two (2), Poland with one (1), and Brazil with one (1). CTIX analyst will continue to monitor further crack downs on criminal cryptocurrency transactions and the online criminal marketplaces that enable them.
