Darknet drug marketplace ‘Ketamelon’ just got squeezed dry. India’s Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) swooped in, seizing $82K in crypto—proof that even anonymous wallets can’t outrun the law.

The takedown:
No fancy hack required. Old-school police work traced crypto trails to the platform’s operators. A reminder: blockchain’s transparency cuts both ways.

The irony:
Criminals still treating crypto like untraceable cash—despite a decade of high-profile busts. Maybe they missed the memo (or the Mt. Gox headlines).

The finance jab:
Meanwhile, Wall Street’s still ‘assessing risks’ before embracing crypto. NCB just confiscated more digital assets than some banks have custody of.
