Where Drugs on the Dark Net Come From

[3 Points] D-U-WHY:
[2 Points] DNMd:
I wonder if the buyers stats would look the same/similar
[2 Points] Vendor_BBMC:
I wonder how many of them bring product to the darknet from outside, and how many just buy from other vendors, shuffling the same "84% MDMA" and "S-isomer ketamine" around?
Not all of these sell-everything drug shufflers go on to become scammers, but nearly all scammers used to be one. They're vendors, but they're more like customers. Like all customers they can get scammed eventually, and this is when their morals are tested.
Take the loss, or simply pass it on and disappear? They've usually had a few low ratings through having no say over their quality control, told a few lies that got found out, so its very tempting for them to scam and rename for a clean slate.
"Wow. That was easy. If I do that 3 times a year I can make a lot of money,and posting nothing is less illegal than posting drugs".

This is really cool. I have a feeling it would be enjoyed at r/crappydesign due to the label colors looking way too similar though. Is that the uk or Austria?

gotta love that stock photo of all the old school e presses

Very interesting! I would suggest putting the "Other" category at the very far right of the bar graph though since it's not very relevant to "Which countries ship the most of which drugs."
[1 Points] LowerHaighter:
Interesting viz. I'd use vendors instead of listings on the Y axis to account for multiple listings from the same vendor+product pair for different amounts.
(or is that what you mean by "We did, however, remove duplicate listings for each category of drug"?)
Cool
