The U.S. Federal Court has handed down a heavy sentence to Rui-Siang Lin, the founder of "Incognito Market," for operating a cryptocurrency-based dark web drug trafficking platform. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison and confiscated $105,045,109 in illegal proceeds. The case is regarded as one of the most serious law enforcement actions against "cryptocurrency dark web drug markets" in recent years. According to the Southern District of New York Prosecutor's Office, Incognito Market operated from October 2020 until its closure in March 2024. Relying on a cryptocurrency payment system and an internal transfer mechanism called "Incognito Bank," it provided anonymous trading services to users worldwide. The platform facilitated over 640,000 transactions, with a total value exceeding $105 million. It had more than 400,000 registered buyers and over 1,800 sellers.

In 2025, the Trump family's ventures in the cryptocurrency space experienced explosive returns, covering Meme coins, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, and investments in related publicly listed companies, forming a highly commercialized and also highly controversial "Trump Cryptocurrency Empire." According to Forbes, Trump's personal net worth is approximately $6.6 billion, with a significant portion derived from crypto-related assets. The most attention-grabbing are Trump-themed Meme coins. In early 2025, Trump and his wife Melania launched their own themed tokens successively, with initial market caps reaching billions of dollars. However, as the speculative frenzy subsided, the token prices plummeted, and investors who bought at the peak suffered heavy losses, with some declines exceeding 90%. Despite this, the Trump family remained the main beneficiaries. Public information shows that Trump or entities controlled by him could ultimately hold up to 80% of the total token supply. Even considering liquidity and sell pressure restrictions, their on-paper value remains very high. On-chain data indicates that related wallets have transferred nearly $100 million in stablecoins and some tokens to custody and trading platforms, showing signs of phased liquidation.
