What's that got to do with organized crime? Its all individuals operating mail-order businesses, there's no mafioso, no Columbian cartels, no violence and certainly no organization.

Darknet market extortion didn't happen until a year ago?

Honestly what did people expect. Your in a community in where it's no different from the streets, You have drugs,money and egos flying around. The difference being is if someone talks shit you can't go around and "pop a cap in their ass" but you can slander their name and ruin reputation and in a business like dealing on the dark net markets 1 bad feedback could lose you a handful of customers.

I love how some people think just because we are a cyber community it somehow means we are immuned to all dirty tatics. It was all a matter of time until this community was corrupted. The right people with the right amount of money can get them very far in life.
