The site, active since February 2023, operated on the encrypted Tor network and was available in both Finnish and English.
Sipulitie, which provided a platform for illegal drug transactions under the protection of anonymity, generated a reported revenue of €1.3 million, according to the site’s administrator who posted the figure on public forums.
Sipulitie had a predecessor, Sipulimarket, which launched in April 2019. This Finnish-language platform also facilitated illegal drug and doping sales in an anonymous environment. Finnish Customs, with help from Polish authorities, shut down Sipulimarket in December 2020. It is believed that Sipulimarket had a turnover exceeding €2 million.
