This is a decommissioned NATO bunker located in Traben-Trarbrach in western Germany. According to police, it housed the Wall Street Market, Cannabis Road, and Orange Chemicals market servers.

Also, a “cyberbunker” operating since 2013 may be involved in an attack on the Deutsche Telekom system, which negatively affected the operation of routers of 1 million users three years ago.

This is the bunker that was raided.

Most of the trading on the mentioned platforms was conducted in bitcoins.
