“When you thought that customers were safe from vendors because of the review and escrow system, and vendors were safe from the authorities because of all the technical efforts made by the market site owners (and lack of mistakes, unlike the Silk Road owner) to ensure everyone’s anonymity, making the whole thing a great place to engage in illegal activities, turns out there’s a new problem in town: market sites scamming vendors and customers alike. Atlantis was the first to go, taking everyone’s money. Then one of the markets that popped up after SR went down and was gaining popularity also shut down, also taking everyone’s money with it.”
