After 2 of darknet’s biggest markets, AlphaBay and Hansa, were taken down by 2 global law enforcement operations, Dream Market gained thousands of users and became one of darknet’s biggest marketplaces.
On 13th September, according to reports, Dream Market went down for several hours, which led users to believe its admins had pulled an exit scam – a popular scam in which fraudsters shut down their services and disappear with user funds – or that law enforcement compromised it.
