Goods and services on offer included hacking tools, firearms, drugs, and stolen data collections. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Prihar and Phan received 8,155 in Bitcoin (BTC) &#8212; worth roughly $8.4 million at the time they were paid, although worth substantially more nowadays \u2013 and these funds were then shifted around cryptocurrency wallets and traditional bank accounts held under the names of fake shell companies.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>In April 2021, Prihar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/deepdotweb-dark-web-admin-pleads-guilty-to-gun-drug-purchase-kickbacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pleaded guilty<\/a> to his role in DDW and agreed to forfeit $8,414,173.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top placeholder\"> <\/section>\n<p>His co-conspirator is currently in Israel and extradition proceedings are underway. &nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The investigation into DDW involved the FBI&#8217;s Pittsburgh Field Office, French authorities, Europol, the IRS, German law enforcement,&nbsp; the Israeli National Police, and the UK&#8217;s National Crime Agency (NCA), among other organizations.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>In other Dark Web news this week, law enforcement seized and shut down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/canadian-officials-take-down-dark-web-marketplace-issue-300000-in-fines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian HeadQuarters<\/a>, a large marketplace that facilitated the purchase and sale of spam services, phishing kits, stolen credential data dumps, and access controls to compromised machines.
