Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A marketplace can sell more than a product. It can sell access to an identity, a relationship, or a person's freedom.Black Markets, Dark Secrets examines the hidden networks that connect stolen accounts, online fraud, coercive groups, forced criminal labor, extortion, and illicit money. Drawing on public case records and official reports, it follows the relationships behind the screen: who earns trust, who controls the information, who receives the proceeds, and who is prevented from leaving.Across twelve chapters, discover how illicit marketplaces imitate ordinary businesses, why convincing scams can survive basic scrutiny, and how private information becomes a tool of control. Explore documented cases involving Genesis Market, Incognito, NXIVM, cryptocurrency investigations, and ANOM, alongside the institutions that can expose abuse or enable it.The book also explains what arrest and seizure announcements actually establish, why recovery can remain difficult, and which practical steps help households and small organizations verify requests, protect accounts, preserve records, and respond after a loss.Written for true-crime readers and curious general readers, this accessible nonfiction account brings evidence and human consequences together. It offers a clearer understanding of how hidden power works-and where people can challenge it.
