German law enforcement shut down Crimenetwork — the largest German-language underground marketplace — and arrested its 29-year-old administrator. The platform, active since 2012 with ~100,000 users and 100+ sellers, facilitated sales of stolen data, drugs, and forged documents and processed roughly 1,000 BTC and 20,000 XMR (~€93M). Authorities seized the infrastructure and extensive user/transaction data, enabling further investigations and possible additional arrests.
