Utopia was a darknet market similar to The Silk Road that facilitated sale of illegal items such as narcotics, firearms, stolen bank account information and forged identity documents. [2] Utopia was based on Black Market Reloaded and has ties to it. [3] [4]
It was launched on 3 February 2014 [5] only to be shut down by Dutch police 8 days later. [6] Undercover agents were able to buy large amounts of ecstasy ( MDMA) and cocaine. 900 Bitcoin (then worth approximately £363,000) were seized. [7]
