The product was easy to find for the buyer, someone who goes by the alias of Mahadeva, the name of both the Great God of Hinduism and a legendary evildoer in Buddhism. Like most Dark Net markets, PsyCo exists as a hidden website on Tor. The Dark Net’s lingua franca has always been English. But for the last three years, small but steadily surviving localized markets in Eastern Europe and Eastern Asia are opening up anonymous trade to potentially hundreds of millions of Internet users who converse in languages like Chinese, Russian, and Ukrainian. The actual active number of non-English-speaking users right now appears to be much smaller, but it's clear the Dark Net has room to grow. In the markets of Russia and Ukraine, dead drops have become cheap and quick alternatives to the classic Dark Net tactic of postal smuggling.
