Eight men have been charged for
running an elaborate online narcotics market. It sold drugs to over three thousand people in
the United States as well as thirty-four other countries. The men have been arrested after a two year investigation
called “Operation Adam Bomb”. Users were allowed to communicate anonymously. The
secret ring was known as “The Farmers Market”.
The online drug market provided order forms and customer service. This drug market was one of the most
sophisticated drug markets on the internet. It represented a first of its kind.
This drug organization sold drugs all over the world and did so through
advanced online technology. “The Farmer’s Market” allowed independent places to
advertise for illegal drugs. Some of the
drugs that were sale to the public include: LSD, ecstasy, fentanyl, mescaline ketamine, DMT and marijuana.
All eight charged face up to a life sentence in jail.
“The Farmer’s Market” is an example of
a drug related crime. “The Farmer’s Market” used advanced online technology to
allow the public to purchase illegal
drugs. People from the United States as
well as thirty-four other countries had access to the buying of these drugs. Drug
trafficking is a terrible crime that is a problem in almost all countries. Not
only is buying and selling illegal drugs a crime, the illegal drugs people take
can make them commit much worse crimes. This online site allowed over 3,000
people to purchase their illegal drugs.
They were able to cover up their crime with the use of online
technology. Hopefully, this will show other organizations that are using online
technology to commit crimes, that it will not be tolerated. The men charged with this crime should serve
the rest of their lives in prison for helping sell drugs in order to receive a
little profit.
