So we have a dark web 'offering' advertising on a clearnet forum. This is a conflict of interests IMHO. You're either fully operating on the darkweb or you're not. Clearnet e-crime sites are famously de-anonymized. It just takes a payment from PayPal registered in your legal name to buy hosting services, and boom: you've been decloaked by the authorities.

They weren't "darkweb" at all, they were clearnet, they were basically just like any other hosting provider, they had normal non-criminal customers, and criminal ones too.
