Browsing the deep web for drugs, guns, and cheap women.

Today, I took my first dive into the deep web today. You know, the part of the web that is only accessible through Tor and is infamous for hosting Silk Road, the online drug marketplace.

I'm not going to describe how one can get there (Google is your friend here), but it's way different from the regular Internet. Illegal actvity is the reason why most people go there. For example, you can hire an assassin for $20,000 per contract. Payable in bitcoins, of course. You can buy fully-automatic firearms shipped to you from the former Soviet Union. You can hire people to mail death threats on your behalf. Price? $20. You can hire prostitutes.

And I also saw a lot of other crazy weird stuff that I would never mention here, but suffice to say, I avoided the links because of the legal liabilities behind even looking at such links. Thankfully, a lot of stuff on the deep web is clearly labeled, and can be avoided at one's leisure.

At any rate, the BBC's website has an article on the deep web (released today) if you are so inclined to check it out:

romanticizing the dark underworlds of human society! no one can do it better than BBC!! channel of the biggest nanny states known in history!!

$20k sounds too high though... it must be wrong...
 
Greetings,

I am offering death threats for 1 bit coin each, with in the continental US. Please add a second bit coin for international postage.

Below is an example of the level of service you will obtain:
Greetings,

My name is Mr. Toad. If you have been on my wild-ride then you know I am not one to be trifled with. As such you should take what I am to say now with a great deal of seriousness.

My intent is to cause your life functions to end. This is, as it where, a "threat" on your life. The threat comes form my intent to, over a period of time, poison you. I have access to your food-stuffs and will cause you to slowly die. You will, at first, think simply that you are stressed. A few days latter you will experience flu like symptoms. You will then die of what the coroner will think is phenomena.

I think we both know why I'm going to have to do this.

Thank you for your time and attention,

-Mr. Toad

I found four websites there about assassination services. They all quote $20,000 as a base price. Some of them are US-only, others can do a hit worldwide. Some charge more depending on the person, especially if the target is a police officer or politician. One person even claimed he was an ex-soldier of the French Foreign Legion.
 
Damn you OP. They shut down my access to midget donkey fetish porn, now the Feds will be shutting down my access to hookers and blow next. *raises fist*

I'm pretty sure most of those sites are operated by trolls who seek to bilk people of their bitcoins for a service that isn't going to happen. Though one of the assassination offers was put on a "marketplace" where all funds are put in escrow until the deed is done.

Am I crazy or does not really make any sense? Sorry to nitpick here but it's sort of a pet peeve of mine when people just combine and twist cliches around to say things like this. I can avoid links at my leisure?

What I meant to say was: They can be avoided completely.

You're hired!

Your bitcoin will be sent in the mail, upon completion of the threat.
 
interesting - this is from the wiki for Silk Road

While the majority of products that sellers list on Silk Road qualify as contraband, the site's operators prohibit goods or services intended to harm others


Sounds like they aren't doing a very good job
