Darknet drug racket traded in hard-to-track crypto, says Kerala NCB
KOCHI: The Muvattupuzha native who ran the darknet-based drug racket Ketamelon used Monero (XMR), a privacy-focused cryptocurrency that is now popular for illegal activities, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has found.
The central agency’s investigation into the operations of 35-year-old Edison, an engineer by profession, revealed that he managed the drug network single-handedly and shipped over 600 consignments of LSD blots and ketamine clandestinely across India.
