Bryan Connor Herrell, 26, of Aurora, Colorado, helped settle disputes between sellers and buyers of illegal items. He pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy to engage in a racketeer-influenced corrupt organization. AlphaBay, launched December 2014, was considered to be the largest darknet marketplace before it was shut down by the FBI and Europol in 2017. Herrell’s attorney says he considered the sentence to be fair, given he faced a maximum of more than 30 years in prison.”]
