In Sacramento, California, there was a huge drug bust by a joint effort between federal agencies and California law enforcement. The bust bore over 2 million in BTC, over 420 thousand in cash, a large stash of opioids that were the main product that was being trafficked, and several firearms.
This is following a nationwide crackdown by a specialized federal unit, to track down and apprehend drug traffickers operating on the dark web. One takedown in recent years was the AlphaBay marketplace in 2017, afterwards a federal taskforce was able to hunt down buyers and sellers easily. As was how federal authorities were able to hit the bust in Sacramento.
Jumping to know, a new round of indictments have been announced for suspects involved in dark web drug trafficking, most if not all of them, potentially face life in prison, and over a 2 million dollar fine.
