The end is almost always abrupt: &lt;/del&gt;a &quot;seized&quot; message replacing the login page, or an &quot;exit scam&quot; where the administrators vanish with all the escrow funds.

Administrators use advanced encryption and often move infrastructure frequently. However, sophisticated forensic techniques and operational mistakes eventually lead to their discovery and takedown.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Is it just about buying illegal goods?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Not exclusively.
