The United States has formally charged Iranian citizen Behrouz Parsarad with creating the Nemesis Market darknet platform, which became the venue for more than 400,000 transactions involving drugs, counterfeit goods and malware. He faces up to life in prison.
A federal grand jury in the United States has indicted Behrouz Parsarad, a 36-year-old Iranian citizen who, according to the Department of Justice, founded Nemesis Market in March 2021. The darknet platform quickly gained popularity, gathering more than 150,000 users and about 1,100 seller accounts. The platform offered a wide range of illicit goods, from fentanyl and methamphetamine to stolen financial data, fake passports and even malware.
As the investigation established, during the existence of the site, drugs worth more than 30 million US dollars were sold, while Parsarad had full control over crypto wallets, receiving profit from each transaction.
A distinctive feature of this site was its multi-sphere: drugs, fake documents, stolen bank data and even cybercriminal “turnkey services”. Thanks to almost complete anonymity, as well as an orientation towards cryptocurrency, Parasarad managed to build a darknet ecosystem with millions of profits. However, it was the scale of illegal operations that attracted the attention of American intelligence agencies. Despite the liquidation of the project, the founder is still wanted.
Nemesis Market is an example of how one darknet site can undermine security on several fronts at once: drugs, counterfeiting, cybercrime. Parsarad is not just a forum moderator, but the coordinator of an entire criminal business. His case shows once again that even in the digital underground there is a limit – and the law reaches there.
