A New article was published on a Dutch website, and was translated for us by a DNM community member - this article brings to light more info about the Utopia marketplace bust and claims that these people are the same one who run Black Market Reloaded, is one of the arrested people might be Backopy?

The trial against a group of Dutchmen who supposedly would have run Black Market Reloaded starts today. It concerns four Dutchmen and one German, which would have been behind another illegal marketplace - called Utopia - as well. Both sites have been shut down.

30-year-old Steven R. from Enschede has a muscle disease, for which he is in a wheelchair. He never goes outside. Steven is an IT-nerd. He spends all his time behind his computer. At the time he is approached to make a dog-walking site, he already hasn't been outdoors for three years. Steven builds the site and the client is very much satisfied. Subsequently, the client asks him to build a site for the deep web, on which goods can be sold. Steven goes to work. Then, it becomes clear that the clients want to sell drugs and weapons. "I should have stopped then", Steven supposedly would have said to the police. But Steven did not stop. For his clients, he builds the site Utopia - and starts dealing small amounts of drugs himself.
It turns out; a Dutch gang is behind the assignment. A leading role would be played by Rudolf J., a 46-year-old man from Woerden, who, according to the criminal file, disposed over a large criminal network. He works with Ralf P. from Enschede, who controls transportation. Technicians Jeroen T. and Steven R. are brought in to build the sites on which the illegal goods are sold. There is a close collaboration with German Bjorn R., who offers stolen bankcards, drugs and ammunition through Black Market Reloaded. On photo-site Flickr, Bjorn R. can be seen in a Portuguese golfing paradise, posing with expensive cars and boats. In May 2013 he writes on Facebook: „0.15 am still working on some projects right now... But this is what you need to do to thrive forward in your niche."
At that time, Black Market Reloaded is building a reputation on the Internet as a 'trusted' site. The number of buyers increases steadily. "It became a kind of Bol.com for illegal goods", said Peter Plasman, the attorney of Steven R. According to Plasman, his client received 40,000 euro's worth of bitcoins for building the site. "This made it very hard for him to get out", said Plasman, "because that would imply that he would have to pay back such a large sum."

In other words, "we're not going to stop them, but that's not going to stop us from spending a shitload of money trying and failing"
