The dark web has become a hub for various illicit activities, including drug trafficking, with marketplaces like Chinodrug playing a significant role in these operations. Authorities have intensified their focus on disrupting these platforms and holding their operators accountable for their actions. Seizing assets linked to these operations is a crucial step in this strategy, aiming to deter future crimes and demonstrate the risks associated with engaging in illegal activities online.
