The Justice Department on Tuesday announced the largest seizure of online drugs in the U.S. darknet history.
According to the Justice Department, the operation resulted in the seizure of over $6.5 million in both cash and virtual currencies, and 274 kilograms of drugs such as fentanyl, oxycodone, meth and other drugs.
The takedown was part of Operation DisrupTor, an international effort with the Justice Department's law enforcement partners in Europe.
According to the Oxford dictionary, the darknet is a computer network with restricted access that is used chiefly for illegal peer-to-peer file sharing.
Deputy Attorney General Jeffery Rosen outlined a number of cases from jurisdictions around the U.S.
“There will be no safe haven, or drug dealing in cyberspace,” Rosen said.
