Estimates suggest Hydra Market was the darknet platform with the highest turnover worldwide — with sales of $1.35 billion in 2020 alone.

Estimates suggest Hydra Market was the darknet platform with the highest turnover worldwide — with sales of $1.35 billion in 2020 alone.



The world's largest illegal darknet marketplace has been shut down — with police in Germany seizing 543 Bitcoin.


Hydra Market has been accused of facilitating money laundering and the sale of narcotics.


The Russian-language darknet platform had been under investigation since August 2021, and the U.S. authorities were also involved in this operation.


According to German prosecutors, Hydra Market had been in operation since 2015 — and more than 17 million customers and 19,000 sellers had accounts on the platform.


One service allowed users to obfuscate the crypto transactions they completed through the platform, making investigations even harder for law enforcement.


Hydra Market's homepage has now been replaced by a message from German prosecutors.



At the time of writing, the Bitcoin seized has a cash value of $25 million.

Are You A vegetarian? This is what you Need " Vegetarian Mushroom Wellington"

How To Make Vegetarian Mushroom Wellington Classic beef Wellington is a technical feat in which a tenderloin is topped with foie gras or mushroom duxelles, then wrapped in puff pastry and baked. This vegetarian version is less exacting yet just as impressive. Seared portobello mushrooms are layered with apple cider-caramelized onions and sautéed mushrooms, which are seasoned with soy sauce for flavor and bolstered with walnuts for texture. The rich mushroom filling is vegan, and the entire dish can easily be made vegan, too. Swap in vegan puff pastry, a butter substitute in the port reduction and caramelized onions, and an egg substitute for brushing the puff pastry. If you want to prepare ahead, sauté the mushrooms and onions in advance and refrigerate them, then assemble the dish the day you plan to bake and serve it. Prepare the port reduction as the Wellington bakes, or skip it entirely and serve with cranberry sauce for a touch of tangy sweetness. Recipes FOR THE MUSHROOM FILLING:...
