🚨 THE CO-FOUNDER OF THIS $430 MILLION DARKNET MARKET GOT 40 YEARS IN PRISON AND LOST 2,814 BTC

- At its peak: 1.68M+ users and 5,000+ vendors
- It collapsed in 2020, and users lost all their escrow funds
- Not just BTC: houses, cars, and gold bars were seized too

Converting crypto into real-world assets didn’t save him. So why was the sentence so heavy?
