Was this a big market? How do you think that they were busted? That's not very common, is it?

To my knowledge they made the marketplace for Finnish residents and it wasn't a huge market like empire was my thought on them being busted will most likely be due to security vulnerabilities, they haven't released much information as of yet as they're still investigating the marketplace (staff and users) and by the looks of it they was using Ekmars Marketplace script, which of what I've heard isn't the best way to go about a matketplace.

Ah, I see. Well it looks like they're probably better off than their American or European counterparts, especially if was for Finns by Finns: https://erowid.org/psychoactives/law/countries/law_finland.shtml

But then again I don't know to what extent the place operated but they seem to be more reasonable with it than most places at least.

To my knowledge it was made by Finnish residents, hopefully the market administration and moderation had good OPSEC, as I'm sure the authorities will be going through everything with a fine tooth comb.

I also agree, making a marketplace for a certain country is more reasonable as sending packages in your country is a lot easier than posting worldwide.
