Utopia (marketplace)
Utopia was a darknet market similar to The Silk Road that facilitated sale of illegal items such as narcotics, firearms, stolen bank account information and forged identity documents.[1] Utopia was based on Black Market Reloaded.[2] It was launched on 3 February 2014[3] only to be shut down by Dutch police 8 days later.[4] Undercover agents were able to buy large amounts of ecstasy (MDMA) and cocaine. 900 Bitcoin (then worth approximately £270,000) were seized.
