Two individuals have been charged by federal prosecutors in Illinois for owning and running Empire Market, a notorious darknet marketplace.

According to court documents filed on Friday, Thomas Pavey, 38, from Florida, and Raheim Hamilton, 28, from Virginia, allegedly operated Empire Market from 2018 to 2020.

Prosecutors claim that during this period, the marketplace facilitated transactions worth $430 million, enabling users to anonymously purchase illegal goods and services.
