Dark web for kiteboarding equipment

Postby pmania » Thu Jul 27, 2017 3:29 am

I was wondering if someone maybe stumbled onto this, or something similar ?
Not that I want to buy anything orso, but it is in the news also very much lately.

What advantage is there for buying kite equipment off the dark web? Unless you can find a better deal it's going to be no different than buying it off the light web

You know, in case you'd rather buy kiting equipment from anonymous strangers using Bitcoin, lol. Instead of the "Silk Road" you could call it, "Dyneema Road" :lol:

Can't imagine there is kite gear sold on the dark web. Not a marked for it I think and I would think in that case it is stolen gear.

I imagine that transaction going down like this:


"Hi I'm A$$NONYMOUS. I have some good deals on kites and boards that have been liberated from their serial numbers and troublesome warranties..............do you need any sex slaves or machine guns to go with your order? I have a special on black tar heroin in bulk."


I like a deal as much as the next guy but I'd take a HARD pass.
