Russian Anonymous Marketplace
The Russian Anonymous Marketplace or RAMP was a Russian language forum with users selling a variety of drugs on the Dark Web. With over 14,000 members, the site used Tor and used some escrow features like Silk Road-like darknet markets, but otherwise many deals took place off-site using off-the-record messaging.[1] It is the longest lived darknet market, running from September 2012 to July 2017, inspired by the success of the Silk Road.[2] The administrator who went by the handle 'Darkside', claimed the site made around $250,000 a year and avoided law enforcement attention due to its predominant Russian user base[2] and its ban on the sale of goods and services such as hacking.[3] From July 2017, users were unable to login due to DDOS attacks.[4] On September 19, 2017, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the site had been terminated in July.[5] References
