Shock the content! "Human life in Russia is very cheap": the organizer of trading in the Dark Web

in #life6 years ago

We were contacted by a representative of one of the largest forums in the "dark Internet" and offered to interview the organizer of the site. When asked why he should communicate with journalists, the mediator replied: "Promoting freedom of information is one of our principles."

How much is a contract murder, are they afraid of policemen in the "dark Internet" and why do they consider it normal to sell drugs and weapons in the monologue of the organizer of one of the largest sites in the Russian-language Dark Web.

About myself

By education I'm a chemist. I graduated from Moscow and have been living in Germany for more than three years. At home I visit a couple of times a year, although my parents stay in Russia, I can not persuade them to move. A few years ago I got carried away with carding (fraud with bank cards - note GRAPE), read and was interested, but did not do it myself. From there about four years ago I went to Darknet, but I did not get to the site I'm currently working on. And when I got there, I immediately fell in love. I have never met such an interesting community.

Now I manage the site and act as guarantor for the transactions: I make sure that everything on the site is sold and bought on the stated terms. Although there is not much deception in its pure form - about 10% of the total number of ads. For my services, I get a percentage of a few thousand dollars a month. However, on the basic and absolutely legal work, it still turns out much more. Chemists in Europe are well paid.

My family, of course, do not know about what I do in my spare time. This is the first, the main and the most fatal mistake - to tell something to relatives and friends. The main condition of all my activity is anonymity, and its main enemy, contrary to popular belief, is not technology, but a human factor. It's not that I do not trust my relatives, but I'm used to learning from other people's mistakes.

About the business

In a month through our site deals are made for several tens of thousands of dollars. These are very modest figures, because we never wanted to be a trading platform. The most popular commodity we have is weapons, about 20 deals per month, or about half of the total. Many people think that the sale of weapons in Darknet is not so active, but I can say that this impression is formed only against the background of drug trafficking. If to compare with it, then arms trade will hardly take even the twentieth part. On our website, drugs are traditionally poorly represented, so weapons are popular.

The most popular product in terms of price / quality ratio is PM and TT pistols. Sometimes they ask to get something "exclusive" - ​​for example, most recently I was asked to sell Colt M1911, once there was an M-16 assault rifle. It was weapons that dealt with the most "monetary" transaction in my practice - 17 thousand dollars in two parts. They sold AK assault rifles, cartridges to them and grenades.

I do not undertake that which contradicts my principles. Say, killing children, rape women. Two times there were such orders

After the weapon, services are becoming popular. Very often they search for performers for various kinds of intimidation, beatings, damage to property and the like. Hackers are also often asked. The kidnapping of a loved one was ordered somehow, but the performer somehow was not found, although the "buyer" is always easier to find than the "seller". But to kidnap a peasant for debts and to take out for 5 thousand dollars, those who were interested were found. Apparently, the morality of girls can not be abducted. Whether the peasant has returned from the forest - I do not know, but the client was satisfied. There were also murders. Human life in Russia is very cheap. As in the yellow press, for 15 thousand knife addict, of course, will not kill, but for 300 it is already quite possible to close the question.

About clients, executors and police

Anyway, everything is in Darknet. The majority are either educated specialists of both technical and humanitarian directions, or representatives of crime in all forms, or all kinds of simply interested.

Law enforcers, of course, know this. And at all levels. Are we interested in them? Very likely. Can they reach us directly through Tor? It is doubtful. Accordingly, I can not say that we feel some strong pressure from their side. But we never forget that they are here waiting for a mistake on our part.

About the principles

The dissemination of information for me is much more important than trade. Why disseminate information about the methods of murder, the traffic in drugs and weapons and so on? The information itself can not harm anyone. It all depends on how to use it. My motivation is simple: it is interesting for me to learn new things, I think, the same is true for most of our users. Get answers to your questions. Ask about something else I can not or do not want to answer. Learn what is carefully hidden. Why the set of knowledge that a person can receive must be artificially limited? That's why I'm unlikely to ever leave Darknet, I want the flow of new knowledge to only expand.

Transactions are different. I believe that if you become a guarantor, then guarantee. You can not selectively approach this. My task is only to ensure that both sides of the deal are satisfied. Although there were very controversial orders. I can not say that I was delighted with them. Everything was so serious that I did not want to say anything, I do not want to remember. The same assassinations guarantee - so-so task.

Therefore, in my business, curiosity is a very harmful thing. The less you know the better you sleep. Although, for example, according to my personal statistics, 80 percent of weapons are purchased for self-defense. The remaining 20 are not for her, but even kitchen knives are not always bought for cutting food. And I'm not even talking about bits. Do they prohibit their sale? Suppose, the same lot of AK, I think, we did not buy killers at all, but to protect businesses, for example.

C selling heavy drugs is the same. I believe that a person has the right to decide what and how to take it. I personally think that a normal person in any case will not be able to do this with himself.

I can say that while I do not undertake that which contradicts my principles. Say, the killing of children, the rape of women (there were such orders twice), and so on - by.

**Law enforcement agencies are waiting for mistakes on our part**

You may have the impression that I am evil in the flesh. I organize the killing of innocents, sell drugs to schoolchildren, and weapons - to psychopaths? However, I do not consider my activity to be evil. Good, of course, too, but would not it be me - would something have changed in this respect? And I allow to avoid all sorts of deceit. Yes, I do what in the generally accepted sense is considered something criminal. But from my point of view, everything looks a bit different. For example, comes to Darknet Vasya, who loves amphetamine. Is it good or bad to give huckster Pete to sell Vasya cheap Chinese "salt", from which he will quickly leave? Surely it's bad. Provided that Vasya in any case will find where and how to dig. This is Vasya, not us to stop him. All we can do is not let Vasya change from despair to a "crocodile".

About Russia

I work only in the Russian segment of Darknet. In English I'm not so interested. Further they are from life somehow, the discussions are not the same. There, the same thing other people are engaged in, but here the native land after all.

In general, from Germany everything that happens in Russia looks sad, scary and wild. Most of all I am confused by the fact that, for example, only in Russia the overwhelming majority of the population at the sight of a policeman will be more frightened. Only here the person feels so defenseless. When I come to my homeland, this sense of insecurity arises in me. In this case, I would rather like to return. I can not say that I'm a patriot, but I quite like Russia. A lot of beautiful places, mentality and language are closer, many friends. But I do not believe that it can change, people are spit in the face, and he continues to "hang out there."
