The owner of the Incognito Market drug market was detained in the #usa

👮On May 18, New York law enforcement arrested 23-year-old Taiwanese citizen Rui-Xiang Lin, the alleged mastermind behind the largest darknet drug #Marketplace , Incognito Market.

🚨Operating as Pharoah and faro, Lin ran the market from October 2020 to March 2024, facilitating the sale of at least 364 kg of cocaine, 295 kg of meth, and 92 kg of MDMA. Sellers paid up to 5% of each sale, and the platform even had its own "bank" for crypto #transactions .

🙈 Lin’s lucrative empire raked in over $100 million, with him pocketing millions. As the kingpin, he controlled everything—employees, suppliers, customers, and final decisions.

👀 Now, Lin faces multiple charges, including drug possession and sale, conspiracy, and money laundering, with a potential life sentence on one count alone.
