How Scandinavia's Biggest Vendor Created His Empire On Valhalla

Douppikauppa is Scandinavia's biggest darknet vendor who has been selling on Valhalla since 2013. He gave a rare and intimate interview to Arman Alizad for Arman's new book, telling how he created his darknet empire from nothing. Arman is an international media celebrity best known for his TV series "Kill Arman" which has aired in over 100 countries. The interview was exclusively translated for DeepDotWeb:

He'll be arrested within a year now that he gave an interview. That's the kiss of death in the DNM world.

How does deepdot decide that alphabay is a "Top market!" and Nucleus just a "market"?

What happened man? you used to be cool. Who got to you?

Seems like an intelligent guy other than the bit about firearms... Why would the biggest vendor in Scandinavia who's clearly making 7 figures want to attract the insane heat that comes with selling guns? The markup is already crazy enough in Finland - $1400 for 100 pills?!


[2 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

wouldn't call 10,000 euros startup capital "nothing", would you? sold my car for a tenth of that, most of which wqas my silk road vendor bond. My true startup money was a hundredth of that, which made into 8g of meth. I had to borrow money from a friend to buy the postage for it!

was slightly unnerved by one comment:- "When the time comes I’m going to do it so, that the clients won’t even notice that Douppikauppa has a new owner."

He will exit scam, but wants us to think its a new owner. He seems so totally sure of his anonymity, and he buys his drugs off other darknet vendors and sells them in a one-stop-shop.

That's almost the definition of an exit scammer. i'm surprised he's the biggest but only part-time.

What does 'kauppa' mean? Oo

Brings back memories of playing some old RPG named Akarra with finnish/swedish guys.

Arman: Where did you find the employees for Douppikauppa?

DK: Mainly through the Tor network. There have been many interested people but only a couple meet the criteria.

What?... he recruited real people for his real life operation by finding them on Tor forums and such....? That sounds insane.

Until I read his response about contemplating expanding into the gun market I thought, "What a cool guy. He had a good job before and just wants to spread the love of psychedelics." Now I think he's just a hardcore liberal.

As Finland is pretty small place, he can geo-hide also dope, but in anycase he doesnt change his packages ever and he is for sure going down soon. Another big Finnish vendor was already caught few months ago and another vendor snitched himself out. They have been rumoring that this is account of owners of Valhalla and/or HA. Feel free to ask anything, I actually like to talk about this Finnish scene.

I've been considering writing essays on the DNMs for people just to make bitcoin. This would keep me from having to do cash deposits and the such. Pretty much free coin at the cost of my time. Apparently I type enough/fast enough on here to seem like a meth fueled ravishing motor mouth. If anyone could suggest the best marketplace for this kind of thing I would be pretty appreciative. And by best market, I mean highest demand for this kind of thing as well as cheapest start up costs to become a vendor. In fact, any information on this type of money making would be appreciative. Thanks
