AlphaBay: What is the Dark Web marketplace shut down by the US Justice department?

The US Department of Justice has shut down AlphaBay and Hansa, two of the biggest criminal marketplaces in the world. AlphaBay, the largest marketplace of its kind on the internet, has been linked to several deaths. It was known as "the new Silk Road" when it was operating, and went offline in mysterious circumstances earlier this month. Many of its users initially thought its admins had pulled an exit scam, but it turns out its closure was the result of a massive international operation. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.
