#Metaverse The case is not new. On Friday, June 14, as our side of the Earth fell into the arms of Morpheus, Chicago was the scene of an impressive dragnet. Two men, Thomas Pavey and Raheim Hamilton, have been indicted for operating one of the largest marketplaces on the dark web, “Empire Market”. This site, which enabled $430 million in anonymous transactions, was dismantled by the American authorities two years ago. A victory for the police, which raises questions about the balance between security and freedom. Questions that didn’t wait for cryptocurrencies to exist. A war against the uncontrollable that the USA is waging with fervor.
