The US Department of Justice and Europol announced today the takedown of AlphaBay and Hansa Market. AlphaBay was ten times larger than Silk Road, with 250,000 listings for illegal drugs and toxic chemicals. The US Attorney General Jeff Sessions officially confirmed today a coordinated international law enforcement effort to take down AlphaBay after news of raids and arrests in the US, Canada, and Thailand leaked to the press last week. In a separate action, US and Canadian authorities seized the servers of the AlphaBay market on July 4, shutting it down a day later.”]
