German police shuts down Hydra Market

 543 Bitcoin Seized as World's Biggest Darknet Platform Shut Down


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Hydra Market's homepage has now been replaced by a message from German prosecutors.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

Marinated (juicy) Grilled Pork Chops

  Marinated (juicy) Grilled Pork Chops Prep: 15 mins Cook: 15 mins Total: 30 mins Servings: 4 to 6 servings These barbecued pork (chops) cleaves are marinated in a combination of Worcestershire and soy sauces, mustard, flavors, and different fixings. The tart marinade makes for succulent, delightful barbecued slashes. Plan to marinate the slashes for three to six hours for the best character. For best flavor, utilize bone-in focus cut pork flank cleaves. Boneless slashes might be utilized for the formula too. On the other hand, attempt the marinade with bone-in or boneless nation style ribs. Any lean cut of pork you would cook on the barbecue might be marinated. Serve these pork hacks with your number one potato salad and cut new vegetables for a paramount family picnic. INGREDIENTS   4 to 6 center-cut, bone-in loin pork chops, about 1-inch thick. 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari. 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. 1 tablespoon apple cider v...

The Chinese pork Grill

 Chinese-Style Grilled Pork Ribs Prep: 18 mins Cook: 30 mins Total: 48 mins Servings: 6 servings.  This Chinese-style pork rib recipe utilizes the deep flavors of hoisin and five-spice powder coupled with the saltiness of soy sauce and the light, sweet flavor of honey.  Baby back ribs are perfect, since they are smaller, packed with meat, and provide a better presentation. If you use larger pork ribs, you will need to adjust the cooking time and might need more of the marinade, but the basic instructions and recipe would be the same. Consider giving these delicious ribs a try the next time you have a cookout. It's a nice break from American-style barbecue, and you can pair the ribs with rice and Asian-inspired vegetable side dishes. Click the video above to watch  INGREDIENTS  For the Ribs: 2 racks baby back ribs, trimmed and cut into individual ribs 5 green onions, finely chopped, for garnish 2 to 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish.

Easy Cookies-and-Cream Pavlova

  Cookies-and-Cream Pavlova The story goes that Pavlova, a dessert which both Australia and New Zealand lay claim to, is named after the prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, who performed in both countries in the 1920s. Ms. Pavlova’s tutu, billowing round with layers of lace, is the inspiration for the creamy meringue dessert. This simple version combines a crackled, speckled meringue disk — crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside — and a swoopy crown of salted whipped cream. Fans of the marshmallows in Lucky Charms cereal will delight in this four-ingredient Pavlova, whose flavor is reminiscent of those hearts, stars and horseshoes. Here, the “cookies” in cookies-and-cream are, as ever, Oreos, which lend that dreamy teeter-totter of milky white and bittersweet black. INGREDIENTS   FOR THE MERINGUE: 4 large egg whites  Pinch of salt ¾ cup/151 grams granulated sugar 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (113 grams), such as Oreos. FOR THE TOPPING: 2 cups/480 milliliters heavy whipping ...
