Doesn't it surprise anyone else that the seizure message is in English? I mean I don't know much about the Netherlands, maybe its standard practice over there to write official stuff in English rather than in Dutch. I mean I can't imagine other countries doing the same (for example the french police would most certainly post a french message), but maybe I'm just wrong and this is standard..

Ya, speaking as a dutchman you dont even need to know dutch to live in Holland.

Howdy,
So much speculation, I'd thought I'd join the bandwagon.
It would explain all the attacks on Utopia recently experienced. LE could've been knocking the server down to confirm if a hidden service was being ran on a server in their jurisdiction if they had access to the IP.

Ex.

Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time
Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time
Knock down Utopia : Server 203.28.18.44 goes down at same time

Enough evidence to file a warrant to investigate the server.
By the way, I'm not being serious, even though it could really happen -- just adding to the conspiracy theories.

Cheers,
MDParity

It's one of the ways I use to check hidden services IP addresses. I am 100% sure LE does this, too.

The article is updated and its confirmed by the prosecution that they did seize it. http://tweakers.net/nieuws/94253/nederlandse-politie-haalt-verborgen-drugsmarkplaats-offline.html

If it was a joke / hack it would probably be using the FBI logo..

we have posted about it here:

http://www.deepdotweb.com/2014/02/11/utopia-marketplace-seized-by-dutch-police/

we are still looking for real confirmation about that, and we will update if we find any.

Any one here who speaks Dutch might be able to search the Dutch media / police site?

[–]SilkRoadGuru 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Perhaps, if it were a hack, the hacker used Dutch Police as he knew it would take some time for anyone to prove it with the Dutch Police unlike if he were to use an FBI logo because it would take minutes to prove or disprove it on the FBI website.

Heres to hoping

I just think a fake seizure notice would not be real logical when it would be apparent very quickly that it was a scam.

[–]deepdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

were to cover up a scam

Well maybe, but now its too late for that :)

Just wonder if there were any arrests...

[–]A_box_in_a_cage -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does it occur to anyone that if they were indeed seized, that it would mark the fastest police take down. From a country not noted for such busts compared to say the 3 letter boys in the USA. And why shutdown an endless source of future bust so quick? If it is true I would have to reason they were served this info on a platter. As U/whyusheep says?

It says that the Dutch police has confirmed that they've seized the marketsite.. details on how they did it will be available later this week.

Damn you Google Translate, gave me the exact opposite.

[–]la_malanga 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Confirmation that the Dutch police were indeed responsible was added to the article later. Pretty stupid of them to host a site like this in the Netherlands, though..

[–]deepdot 0 points1 point  (1 child)

these article saying anything about arrests?

[–]la_malanga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

[–]InfinitelyOutThere 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Well fuck, not such a shining light now, eh? :(

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

hahaha

[–]meat_love 4 points5 points  (17 children)

Aaaaaand there gone with all my coins! Again!

[–]kush9898 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I know you have probably heard this like 500 times but you should honestly only leave your coins in for a max of like 3-4 hours, ever since I have done this it's been nothing but smooooth sailin:)

[–]LongLiveThe_King 11 points12 points  (2 children)

That and don't deposit onto a brand new site that has been covered in controversy since its birth.

[–]kush9898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude but why would they want to rip us off!! Their only concern is the customer!!

[–]SecurityOnDM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Admins could have run off with the coin too.

Time will tell, but looks very bad for anyone with coin there.

[–]eli-ri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol i lost 3€.. vendor dispatched product last night, didn't FE yet :) vendor must be happy

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

I fucking warned you.

[–]A_box_in_a_cage -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

For posterity. I take you at your word, enjoyed the smell of desperation that proceeded your OP's, and accept that the correlations of your claims seem to line up. FFS why anyone thinks they are owed proof is beyond me. Heed the warning or ignore it, its your ass, but at least you ve been warned. A rarity in the Hacking world.

Either way feel free to send a PM next time you burn one down! ;).

[–]poncedeloon 1 point2 points  (2 children)

whyusheep always puts ;) in his messages too. You, as the only poster here who is buying his narcissistic bullshit, are probably his regular account.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't you heard I'm FIRM. neither is true but whatever.

[–]Bagnag 0 points1 point  (2 children)

looks kinda simple for a seize. prob just another scam in the bag.

[–]sharpshooter789 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People said similar shit when SR was initially seized. This logo looks significantly better than the SR one.

[–]germanydrugdeals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in dutch news today: truth. utopia seized by dutch police.

i knew utopia was NL - admin talked in english with dutch accent...

later this week police come with explanation how!

[–]Gr4n7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My item was marked as dispatched and I hope to god it was. Sucks to be a vendor at this time though.

[–]shitstormy -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Whew, i came this | | close to paying for a vendor profile, that would have been $360 down the drain. Goes to show dont use a site unless its been around for AT LEAST a month without any problems.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know I'm a cunt but hopefully my warnings were a even small part in you avoiding getting that account.

[–]shitstormy -2 points-1 points  (17 children)

...AAnd there goes backopys credibility. Actually get got hacked too didnt he, a few times, lol he probably coded utopia.

BMR IS DEAD TAKE IT OFF THE FUCKING SIDEBAR.

[–]doublemintt 1 point2 points  (12 children)

....and only if you knew what you were talking about

Backopy had nothing to do with Utopia.

[–]shitstormy -1 points0 points  (3 children)

u must be new here.

[–]doublemintt 0 points1 point  (2 children)

not at all. what did backopy actually have to do with Utopia?

[–]LongLiveThe_King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BMR IS DEAD TAKE IT OFF THE FUCKING SIDEBAR.

Lol no.
