Evolution

From CryptoWiki

  • A darknet market than had an exit scam
  • During the heist, it is believed over 40,000 Bitcoin were stolen in 2015. At that time, these coins were worth about US$12m, however no one is certain if they were actually sold across exchanges. If the thieves still have a portion of this money in possession, they will make bank quite easily.
  • At the time of this notorious exit scam, Evolution was one of the biggest darknet markets around the world. Although it is not the biggest darknet market exit scam in history, it is the biggest since March of 2015. All funds kept in escrow was stolen by either the administrators or someone who successfully hacked the platform. None of the funds were ever retrieved, unfortunately.
