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.[2] Utopia was based on Black Market Reloaded and has ties to it.[3][4]
History[]
It was launched on 3 February 2014[5] only to be shut down by Dutch police 8 days later.[6] Undercover agents were able to buy large amounts of ecstasy (MDMA) and cocaine. 900 Bitcoin (then worth approximately £363,000) were seized.[7]
