According to Foresight News, the U.S. Department of Justice has sentenced Simon Kaura, a Nigerian dark web fraud leader, to five years in prison without parole. Kaura and his accomplices created, launched and managed the dark web market Skynet, and obtained and sold stolen financial information on the dark web market. Each market requires users to trade in digital currencies such as Bitcoin. These markets enable users to distribute illegal contraband to buyers around the world to commit fraud. The U.S. Attorney's Office and the Department of Justice continue to seek to confiscate more than $4.5 million in assets obtained by him and his accomplices from the crime.
