Flugsvamp 3.0 (who/what it is)

Flugsvamp 3.0 was not a single person; it was a Swedish-language darknet marketplace primarily used for buying and selling illegal drugs. It operated as an online “market” where vendors listed narcotics and customers paid using cryptocurrency (commonly described in court reporting as Bitcoin), and it was accessible via anonymizing networks such as Tor.

If you meant “Flugsvamp” as a username/alias of a specific individual (rather than the site), tell me where you saw the name (a post, video, forum, article), and I can narrow it down.
