Utopia Seized By Police?
Either a very poor joke, or the domain (and probably servers) has been seized by the Dutch Police.

Doesn't it surprise anyone else that the seizure message is in English? I mean I don't know much about the Netherlands, maybe its standard practice over there to write official stuff in English rather than in Dutch. I mean I can't imagine other countries doing the same (for example the french police would most certainly post a french message), but maybe I'm just wrong and this is standard..

Howdy,
So much speculation, I'd thought I'd join the bandwagon.
It would explain all the attacks on Utopia recently experienced. LE could've been knocking the server down to confirm if a hidden service was being ran on a server in their jurisdiction if they had access to the IP.
Ex.
Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time
Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time
Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time
Enough evidence to file a warrant to investigate the server.
By the way, I'm not being serious, even though it could really happen -- just adding to the conspiracy theories.
Cheers,

If it was a joke / hack it would probably be using the FBI logo..
we have posted about it here:
http://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/02/11/utopia-marketplace-seized-by-dutch-police/
we are still looking for real confirmation about that, and we will update if we find any.
Any one here who speaks Dutch might be able to search the Dutch media / police site?

Whew, i came this | | close to paying for a vendor profile, that would have been $360 down the drain. Goes to show dont use a site unless its been around for AT LEAST a month without any problems.

...AAnd there goes backopys credibility. Actually get got hacked too didnt he, a few times, lol he probably coded utopia.
BMR IS DEAD TAKE IT OFF THE FUCKING SIDEBAR.
Maybe whyusheep was really telling the truth about the crummy security? He also said they were either going to get busted or they were going to steal all the coin either way he was right.
