Chloe Ayling is a young attractive girl. She dreams of recognition and fame. She regularly goes to photo shoots and hopes for a successful career in the modeling business. But for now, she is a little-known model from the candid pages of tabloids. And then incredible success. Her agency reports that Chloe has been invited to a photo shoot in Milan. So to speak, in the catwalk capital of the world. The girl is simply happy. She immediately packs her things and flies to Milan. She leaves the airport, anticipating the flashes of cameras for a glossy magazine.
But everything changes in an instant. At the location of the shoot, she is met by strangers, handcuffs, an injection, darkness. Chloe has been kidnapped. The organizer is a citizen of Poland, Lukasz Herba. The plans are to sell the model into slavery through the Darknet. Today I will tell you four terrible stories of crimes, but let's start from the very beginning.
Chloe Ayling, a British model, worked for the Supermodel Agency, was photographed in glossy magazines, in bikinis, for calendars and candid magazines, and also actively maintained an Instagram page. By the age of 20, she already had a one-year-old son, as well as fans and attention. However, it was not fashion houses that showed interest in her, but those from whom it is better to stay away. Summer 2017, Chloe was invited to Paris, where the shooting was supposed to take place, but for some reason it was canceled.
And then agent Phil Green says, “A new client has appeared, a girl is invited to a photo shoot in Milan.” Why not? Well, who would refuse that. On July 11, Chloe flies to Italy, Milan. Sun, airport, incredible expectations. She heads to the address where the shooting was supposed to take place. The name is quite respectable - “Studio Photographica Milana”.
But it turns out to be a fake. Such a place does not exist. Behind the door is not a dressing room, but a real trap. She comes in, they grab her, give her an injection, illegal substances, everything goes blurry and she loses consciousness. Then it's like a bad movie. The girl is stuffed into a huge sports bag. No, you heard right, that's exactly how it happened.
They throw her into the trunk, black tape over her mouth, her hands and feet are handcuffed. You can breathe through a small gap in the zipper. The car rushes at maximum speed and arrives at an abandoned farmhouse in the Piedmont mountains, not far from Turin. There, Chloe is handcuffed to the furniture and locked in a room. The kidnapper is Lukasz Herba, a 30-year-old Pole living in the UK. His brother Michael Konrad helped him.
The criminals say, "You've been kidnapped, we demand a ransom, 300 thousand euros from your studio." If they don't pay, they'll put you up for auction on the Darknet, and when you give it to the buyer, they'll feed you to a tiger. And Lukasz also claims that he represents the Black Dead organization. For those who don't know, the Black Death group itself really existed and it operated on the Darknet. There they offered weapons, illegal substances, fake documents for sale, but that's not all.
The organization became famous after a section about human trafficking appeared on their Darknet page. These were auctions. They were accompanied by photos of girls who were put up for sale. Naturally, they were connected, scared with a price tag of 150 thousand bucks, the specified parameters, like on a marketplace when selling household appliances, only a little differently.
Height, weight, breast size, health. The site administrators corresponded only through encrypted messages, demanded prepayment in crypto, and did not allow outsiders access to the auction. In general, a pro. You go in and everything seems like a real mafia. Encrypted letters, secret addresses, compressed contact. Experts, including specialists from the National Center for Combating Human Trafficking in the UK, doubted the authenticity of this resource as such.
As if no one would do such a thing, the girls from the ads were not identified as missing. Well, and so on. In short, it is now impossible to say for sure whether it was a fake or whether they really were trafficking people there. Maybe it was a crypto scam, who knows. They were simply scamming all sorts of perverts who, naturally, could not go to the police. Or maybe it was a nightmare come true. Nevertheless, the site worked.
It changed its address several times and presented itself as a criminal organization operating since 2010. Now the site has disappeared, in its place there is only the phrase “Black Dead has moved”, that is, we have moved. But let's get back to the story itself. Realizing that she had fallen into the hands of human traffickers, Chloe was overcome with horror. She could neither eat nor speak, but after a few days she noticed that Lukash was showing sympathy towards her.
She began to gain his trust, talk, joke, tell him about her life, and said that she had a little son. And you know, it worked. On the third day, he removed the handcuffs from her. As Lukash later said, the auction for Chloe in Black Dead was really open. This could be understood from the photo of the girl herself, half-naked and scared. Of course, I can’t put this photo on YouTube, so go to my Telegram channel to see all the details of the crime.
The link will be in the pinned comment. The girl is wearing a sign with the inscription for the auction. The ad described Chloe as being born in the UK, kidnapped in Italy and held in Italy. She was also called an aspiring model and her measurements were given, but the group had rules not to sell young mothers, terminally ill, pregnant women and those with STIs, and Ayling had a child.
She simply did not write about it on social networks and did not advertise this fact in any way, so the kidnappers did not know about it. The auction was eventually cancelled. A few days later, Lukasz took the girl to a store to buy her clothes, since all her things were left at the scene of the kidnapping. On the sixth day, Chloe was released. Allegedly, the criminals told the girl to pay the ransom herself, and if she did not, they would find her and next time she would not leave alive.
Chloe came to the consulate and said that she had been kidnapped, and the kidnapper wanted to sell her in Torknet. It turned out that the girl was already wanted by that time. And indeed, on the very first day of the kidnapping, Chloe's mother was unable to contact her. She called her daughter's agent, he tried to contact the organizer of the photo shoot, but to no avail. The next day, July 12, the agency received a ransom email from the Black Dead group, claiming that Chloe would be sold into slavery unless a ransom of 300,000 euros was paid.
Green, Chloe's agent, contacted the British consulate in Milan and the local authorities. The Italian police arrived at the address where the photo shoot was to take place. The premises were empty, practically, only Chloe's belongings were there. An operation to find the girl began. As soon as she arrived at the consulate, she was immediately interrogated to find out more details.
A real investigation began. Lukasz and his brother were arrested, then there was a trial. In 2018, Lukasz Herba was found guilty of kidnapping and sentenced to 16 years and 9 months in prison. Mikhail's term was a month less, soon the terms were reduced. In 2022, Mikhail was released, and Lukas will be released at the end of 2025, so girls, be careful there.
And it would seem that everything, the end of the story, but no. Against this background, a huge scandal erupted. Literally a few days after her discovery, from a little-known model, Chloe became a superstar. Her photos were absolutely everywhere. Newspapers, magazines, television and special news releases, she was invited to talk shows, filming and an entertainment show. Everyone wanted to interview the girl who was almost sold on the darknet.
And what did Chloe do in the end? She gave all these interviews with great pleasure. She talked to journalists with a smile and went to talk shows. They say that she has to make a pitiful look for a photo in the article. She smiles defiantly, asks to dress modestly for the talk show, and she comes in a tight dress with a cutout. When asked what it's like to be held captive, she shrugs and plays along with the crowd. In 2018, Chloe took part in the reality show Celebrity Big Brother.
There she got into another scandal, having an affair with married footballer Jermaine Benant. That same year, she published a book about her kidnapping called "Kidnapped." And a little later, a six-part BBC drama about the story of the kidnapping was released. Yes, as many as 6 episodes. And naturally, such behavior caused a lot of emotions. People were indignant. They wrote that a victim of a crime should not behave like that. Chloe, they say, is too happy.
She received significant benefits from the kidnapping, that it was all a lie, a setup, a pre-planned action and all that stuff. Many facts came to light. For example, the fact that the girl was not born in England, she is half Polish. Lukasz is also Polish. And they were also friends on Facebook, and people were also interested in the photos from surveillance cameras when the victim and the criminal went shopping.
They went to the store as a couple, holding hands, can you imagine? Neighbors who lived near the house where Chloe was kept also saw them, they were sure that they were young lovers. Over time, Lukasz changed his defense, he claimed that he was not going to sell Chloe, that he had nothing to do with the Darknet and was simply in love with a young girl, and with his prank he wanted to attract attention to himself, and also make her popular.
Because of her behavior and all the oddities, Chloe was subjected to real hate, she began to be suspected of complicity, they say, it all looked too strange, she walked with the kidnapper, bought food with him and did not escape when she was without handcuffs, in the media the public asked the obvious question, was she really a victim or was it all some kind of PR. Some users even suspected that Chloe herself organized this kidnapping, used Lukasz and his brother and all this for the sake of popularity.
And yes, it sounds quite plausible, but there is no universal scenario for how to behave under stress or after traumatic events. Some people close themselves off and cry all day long, while others, on the contrary, go to clubs and parties, drown their pain in alcohol or even something heavier. And some pretend that nothing happened, smile, speak calmly, although in their souls it’s sheer hell.
For example, how did you react to the last terrible event in your life? Share in the comments so that others understand that everyone can have completely different reactions. And don’t forget, the trial was real, with an investigation, with an analysis of all the data from cameras and correspondence to digital traces on hard drives. If there had been any indication of her participation, she wouldn’t be walking around on talk shows, but sitting next to Herb’s brothers in the courtroom for complicity and perjury.
But no, her behavior was explained by shock and survival instinct. She was just trying to stay alive, and she succeeded. Do you think the girl was just lucky to escape the kidnapper's hands alive and famous? Or is she still involved in this crime? Write in the comments. The following story happened in Italy and is related to the blogger InquisitorGhost.
Real name Vincent Plicki. He was 23 years old. He made videos for TikTok and a little for Instagram. He was a cosplayer, filmed as the character Ghost from Call of Duty. Skull mask, neon sword and dark surroundings. He really put into it and it worked out for him. He had about 100 thousand subscribers on TikTok. He grew, developed, dreamed of becoming an actor. In life, Vincent was a rather withdrawn, but kind guy.
He loved science fiction, anime and easily got along with those who shared his interests. Everything was going well. The channel was growing, he was making money. And then she appeared in his life. A girl with the nickname AJ. She edited his videos, selected music, sometimes suggested ideas. And she did it perfectly. At first, it was just collaboration, and then a strong friendship. They corresponded, shared thoughts, laughed.
Vincent wrote that he liked her, that he would marry her. Sometimes he complimented her, flirted. Everything looked kind. She responded, and she liked it. At that moment, everything was really good. But this was only the beginning. Over time, they stopped collaborating. A little time passed. Vincent's blog only grew, began to have almost 200 thousand subscribers.
Apparently, AJ and her boyfriend Tita, who was also a blogger, did not like this very much. Then they decided to set up the Inquisitor. To do this, AJ wrote to him under a fake account, pretending to be a fan who was supposedly in love and wanted to date. She flirted, quite persistently. But Vincent didn't react at all, he just said "no". She continued "Why? I'm underage."
He refused again. "Sorry, I'm not interested." Vincent completely ignored her attempts. Despite this, AJ still tried to dump him. And for this she used their old correspondence. She was 17 then, and she decided to take advantage of this. She contacted the moderator of the discord server, complained about harassment, showed screenshots of messages. And there was nothing like that in the screenshots. Look at them yourself. Moreover, the screenshots that the girl gave were cropped and the context was not entirely clear.
A moderator named Jay also paid attention to this. He wrote to Vincent, saying that complaints had been received, we are not deciding anything yet, we want to hear your side. Vincent categorically denies all the accusations, explained that he did not know about AJ's age, and that he was just polite in the correspondence. He added, no one told me that I was doing something uncomfortable to anyone. The moderator understood everything, did not block the profile.
It would seem that the issue was resolved, but this only made the girl and her boyfriend even more angry. Then AJ writes to Vincent again, claims that she just wanted to talk and did not try to cancel it, but Ghost does not believe her. In response, she attaches a screenshot where she openly humiliates the guy in the general chat. Vincent realized that they wanted to set him up, he was quite careful. His TikTok profile even said "minors, do not write to me."
Yes, this is not legal insurance, but it is a clear signal that he understood the risks and tried to avoid them. All the accusations, in fact, were based on fragments of correspondence without context and on emotions, but this was enough to start bullying. But AJ went further. She wrote to a popular TikToker, like, look, Inquisitor Ghost himself was hitting on me with a 17-year-old, let's make some kind of video about it.
And Todd quickly picked up the topic, and others followed suit. An avalanche began, rumors grew, accusations multiplied. One of the famous cosplayers, who has about 300 thousand subscribers, released a video where he said, “The Inquisitor has always seemed disgusting to me, he deserves to be exposed.” What is this if not a herd effect? One said it, others supported it. There are zero details, minimal evidence, but there is an abundance of emotion.
And all this is directed at a guy who, as it turns out later, was suffering from depression during this period even without the scandal. And then this piled up. Vincent began to receive hundreds of messages in private messages. The comments became more and more aggressive, he was accused of the most serious things. This literally began to break him. He deleted Instagram, blocked access to old videos. It seemed that he just wanted to disappear.
And then the day X came. On October 9, he went live on TikTok Live. The camera showed a dimly lit room. Window - silence. Comments were disabled. At first, nothing happened, and then suddenly screams. A woman was calling an ambulance in Italian. Someone was performing CPR, and one of the participants said - he hanged himself. Later, this information was confirmed.
Vincent committed suicide. Live on air. This news shocked the Internet, the first to apologize were those who were promoting the bullying, and Jay wrote that she did not want to harm and went too far, and also asked to stop sending her threats. A blogger participating in the bullying of Vincent wrote that it hurt him to hear about the death of the Inquisitor, but also did not accept threats and bullying against him. Titus' boyfriend recorded a video where he blamed IJ for everything, although later screenshots surfaced on the Internet where he wrote to her to put more pressure on Vincent.
This story shook the Internet so much that people started looking for revenge. The targeted disclosure of identities, dedocking of all accounts of people connected with this story was advertised. All participants received not just hate, but tons of hatred, personal data was leaked online. Someone even claimed that the Darknet had set a reward for IJ's head in the amount of 90 thousand dollars, that the entire darknet was looking for her to avenge the death of her boyfriend.
Now the girl's accounts are blocked on all platforms and almost nothing is known about her. Many believed that she was monitoring cybercrime or that the Darknet Avengers found her and did something really terrible. But the reality turned out to be completely different. There were no trials, no direct legal charges were brought against iJ. She does not appear on social networks, does not give interviews and does not comment in any way. She
behaves calmly, avoids publicity. According to a number of sources, IJ lives in Scotland and feels quite well. But why is that? Why was the person the Internet literally held responsible for driving her to suicide not punished? Perhaps there was no clear legal basis, no direct evidence of her malicious intent was found. But even with all the hatred, data leaks and threats, no one touched her.
Why? Perhaps the really big players, those who have resources, connections and money in the dark web, were not interested in this situation. After all, if they were interested, IJ would have already disappeared without a trace. The next story is more illustrative. She says that if you plan to do something bad through the Darknet, then be prepared for anything. It all started quite harmlessly. A woman named Melody Sesser met a man, David Volos, on the dating site match.com.
It turned out that they had a common passion, trekking, hiking, mountains, nature and camping. But there was no romance, at least on his part. But Melody, it seems, had already imagined everything. And everything would have been fine, but at some point he met another girl. The girl he actually fell in love with. So much so that he packed up and moved to another state, to Alabama.
And then he proposed to her. Something exploded inside Melody Sesser when she found out Wallace was engaged, and her reaction was, well, not exactly healthy. She wrote something like, “I hope you fall off a cliff and die.” And that was just the first alarm bell. She was pretty freaked out, right? Okay. At first, she just went to their house, started threatening.
Calling, texting, a real game of stalking began. Melody kept Wallace’s wife busy with all sorts of threats, even hacking her car. But that wasn’t all. She tracked her rival’s location, and yes, literally tracked her, through Jarmin’s fitness trackers. The ones that sync with your phone and record your routes. So she knew where the woman was, where she went, when she was home and when she was on the go.
Melody wasn't just mad, she really wanted revenge. She opened the Darknet, went to the online killers market website and wrote, indicated the target Jennifer Wallace, described her appearance, address, routine, sent photos. Sassa placed her order on January 11, 2023, transferred 10 thousand in bitcoin and started waiting, but nothing happened.
In March, she sent the site administrator a follow-up message, asking why the elimination was taking so long? The answer was still the same. Order accepted, operation in progress. They answered as if she had ordered some burgers and fries from Mac. Something like that. A few more days passed. Nothing. Then she wrote again. Where the hell is the result? She still runs in the mornings. What are you even doing? I paid.
And there were no more answers. But why, you ask. Because online killers This is not a professional killer hub, it's a banal trap. His reputation was dubious from the very beginning. There are a lot of legends about him on the darknet. One person ordered the disappearance of a neighbor, but got two plainclothes agents on the doorstep. Another left a request for himself for the sake of fun and a joke and a week later he really disappeared.
In short, what is the conclusion? That most likely there are more police officers on this site than at the station. This place is like a fishing spot for cops, catching those who are ready to clean for money, or, conversely, order a friend. Sasser was arrested in June 2023, initially due to complaints from Wallace's wife. During the search, all the correspondence was found. The court found Melody guilty of organizing the murder.
She was sentenced to 100 months in prison, that is 8 years and 4 months. After her release, she will be under supervision for another three years. The court also ordered compensation in the amount of $ 5,389 to be paid to the potential victim. But this is not the only story with the darknet mercenary site. In fact, there are many more who want to remove their loved ones online and not get their hands dirty.
Ronald Craig Ilk is 55 years old. He is not just a doctor, but a neonatologist. This is the one who saves the lives of newborns in intensive care. A person who, in theory, should be as adequate, collected and able to work under pressure. But under the pressure of divorce, he was particularly led. His marriage was falling apart and his wife decided to leave. They got married in 2016, and in 2018 a child was born in the family, after which the man decided to diversify his life and met another girl.
As you can guess, his wife did not like this and she left, filing for divorce. The couple had a child and he lived on a schedule, one week with his mother, one with his father. At this time, there were trials, a separation was underway. But Ilk apparently watched too many crime series and decided, why not go to the Darknet for a solution. And I went, found the platform, registered and started ordering.
The first order was a former colleague he couldn't stand. Why? Well, it was probably related to a complaint about him that kept him from getting a job at another hospital. He wanted her arms broken, he wrote that directly, the target had to be badly beaten. He sent a photo of the victim, the address, paid in bitcoins, but that was just a warm-up, the main target was the ex-wife.
The plan was to kidnap her, inject her with illegal substances, film her, plant the used syringes at home to make it look like she was the one who got hooked, and, attention, force her to return to her husband, regardless of her desire. He wrote that this was the main goal. A kind of family reunification. There would be a bonus for achieving it. Yeah, that's a story, imagine that. He also separately asked to achieve a result so that she wouldn't tell anyone anything and stop all legal proceedings.
Ilg took into account her work schedule, when she has a child, when she is home alone, when it is better to take. Everything was thought out, he even suggested using Bitcoin escrow, which is like a guarantee for a deal on the darknet. But fortunately, none of this happened. In April 2021, Ilk and his girlfriend were on vacation in Mexico, and there he told her that he had ordered his ex.
Just a genius, imagine what kind. His girlfriend was clearly in shock, she definitely did not want to be with her accomplice, and she contacted the doctor's wife. She wrote, "While we are here, strange things have happened, I need to talk to you as soon as possible." The couple was detained at the airport on April 11 after Ilk and his girlfriend returned to the United States. As it turned out, the FBI learned about Ilk's order from journalists who were investigating services on the darknet.
Court documents indicate that these reporters were from the BBC. That is, this time, the media were on the site with the killers. The FBI checked the correspondence, recorded transfers, photos and messages, and the case went to court. In August 2012, Ilg pleaded guilty. The court sentenced him to 96 months in prison for his attempt to hire killers through the dark web. According to the court's decision, he will also have to pay a $100,000 fine and $25,000 in compensation to the victims.
Now explain how a person who saves babies can come to the point of injecting his wife with drugs for the sake of reunification? This is some kind of wildness, how such people go crazy. That is, what happens for this? Do you have any ideas, in general, I'm waiting in the comments. Today you heard 4 stories about crimes that were involved in varying degrees on the dark web.
They are united by one thing, the confidence of the criminals that you can hide in the dark web, erase traces and remain unpunished, but almost always it ends the other way around. Fortunately. Be sure to write comments, and also write what topic to write a topic on, it will be very interesting to read and of course I listen to your every opinion.
Good luck to everyone and bye-bye.
But everything changes in an instant. At the location of the shoot, she is met by strangers, handcuffs, an injection, darkness. Chloe has been kidnapped. The organizer is a citizen of Poland, Lukasz Herba. The plans are to sell the model into slavery through the Darknet. Today I will tell you four terrible stories of crimes, but let's start from the very beginning.
Chloe Ayling, a British model, worked for the Supermodel Agency, was photographed in glossy magazines, in bikinis, for calendars and candid magazines, and also actively maintained an Instagram page. By the age of 20, she already had a one-year-old son, as well as fans and attention. However, it was not fashion houses that showed interest in her, but those from whom it is better to stay away. Summer 2017, Chloe was invited to Paris, where the shooting was supposed to take place, but for some reason it was canceled.

No, you heard right, that's exactly how it happened.
They throw her into the trunk, black tape over her mouth, her hands and feet are handcuffed. You can breathe through a small gap in the zipper. The car rushes at maximum speed and arrives at an abandoned farmhouse in the Piedmont mountains, not far from Turin. There, Chloe is handcuffed to the furniture and locked in a room. The kidnapper is Lukasz Herba, a 30-year-old Pole living in the UK. His brother Michael Konrad helped him.
The criminals say, "You've been kidnapped, we demand a ransom, 300 thousand euros from your studio." If they don't pay, they'll put you up for auction on the Darknet, and when you give it to the buyer, they'll feed you to a tiger. And Lukasz also claims that he represents the Black Dead organization. For those who don't know, the Black Death group itself really existed and it operated on the Darknet.

Because of her behavior and all the oddities, Chloe was subjected to real hate, she began to be suspected of complicity, they say, it all looked too strange, she walked with the kidnapper, bought food with him and did not escape when she was without handcuffs, in the media the public asked the obvious question, was she really a victim or was it all some kind of PR. Some users even suspected that Chloe herself organized this kidnapping, used Lukasz and his brother and all this for the sake of popularity.
And yes, it sounds quite plausible, but there is no universal scenario for how to behave under stress or after traumatic events. Some people close themselves off and cry all day long, while others, on the contrary, go to clubs and parties, drown their pain in alcohol or even something heavier. And some pretend that nothing happened, smile, speak calmly, although in their souls it’s sheer hell.
For example, how did you react to the last terrible event in your life? Share in the comments so that others understand that everyone can have completely different reactions. And don’t forget, the trial was real, with an investigation, with an analysis of all the data from cameras and correspondence to digital traces on hard drives. If there had been any indication of her participation, she wouldn’t be walking around on talk shows, but sitting next to Herb’s brothers in the courtroom for complicity and perjury.
But no, her behavior was explained by shock and survival instinct. She was just trying to stay alive, and she succeeded. Do you think the girl was just lucky to escape the kidnapper's hands alive and famous? Or is she still involved in this crime? Write in the comments. The following story happened in Italy and is related to the blogger InquisitorGhost.
Real name Vincent Plicki. He was 23 years old. He made videos for TikTok and a little for Instagram. He was a cosplayer, filmed as the character Ghost from Call of Duty. Skull mask, neon sword and dark surroundings. He really put into it and it worked out for him. He had about 100 thousand subscribers on TikTok. He grew, developed, dreamed of becoming an actor. In life, Vincent was a rather withdrawn, but kind guy.
He loved science fiction, anime and easily got along with those who shared his interests. Everything was going well. The channel was growing, he was making money. And then she appeared in his life. A girl with the nickname AJ. She edited his videos, selected music, sometimes suggested ideas. And she did it perfectly. At first, it was just collaboration, and then a strong friendship. They corresponded, shared thoughts, laughed.
Vincent wrote that he liked her, that he would marry her. Sometimes he complimented her, flirted. Everything looked kind. She responded, and she liked it. At that moment, everything was really good. But this was only the beginning. Over time, they stopped collaborating. A little time passed. Vincent's blog only grew, began to have almost 200 thousand subscribers.
Apparently, AJ and her boyfriend Tita, who was also a blogger, did not like this very much. Then they decided to set up the Inquisitor. To do this, AJ wrote to him under a fake account, pretending to be a fan who was supposedly in love and wanted to date. She flirted, quite persistently. But Vincent didn't react at all, he just said "no". She continued "Why? I'm underage."
He refused again. "Sorry, I'm not interested." Vincent completely ignored her attempts. Despite this, AJ still tried to dump him. And for this she used their old correspondence. She was 17 then, and she decided to take advantage of this. She contacted the moderator of the discord server, complained about harassment, showed screenshots of messages. And there was nothing like that in the screenshots. Look at them yourself. Moreover, the screenshots that the girl gave were cropped and the context was not entirely clear.
A moderator named Jay also paid attention to this. He wrote to Vincent, saying that complaints had been received, we are not deciding anything yet, we want to hear your side. Vincent categorically denies all the accusations, explained that he did not know about AJ's age, and that he was just polite in the correspondence. He added, no one told me that I was doing something uncomfortable to anyone. The moderator understood everything, did not block the profile.
It would seem that the issue was resolved, but this only made the girl and her boyfriend even more angry. Then AJ writes to Vincent again, claims that she just wanted to talk and did not try to cancel it, but Ghost does not believe her. In response, she attaches a screenshot where she openly humiliates the guy in the general chat. Vincent realized that they wanted to set him up, he was quite careful. His TikTok profile even said "minors, do not write to me."
Yes, this is not legal insurance, but it is a clear signal that he understood the risks and tried to avoid them. All the accusations, in fact, were based on fragments of correspondence without context and on emotions, but this was enough to start bullying. But AJ went further. She wrote to a popular TikToker, like, look, Inquisitor Ghost himself was hitting on me with a 17-year-old, let's make some kind of video about it.
And Todd quickly picked up the topic, and others followed suit. An avalanche began, rumors grew, accusations multiplied. One of the famous cosplayers, who has about 300 thousand subscribers, released a video where he said, “The Inquisitor has always seemed disgusting to me, he deserves to be exposed.” What is this if not a herd effect? One said it, others supported it. There are zero details, minimal evidence, but there is an abundance of emotion.
And all this is directed at a guy who, as it turns out later, was suffering from depression during this period even without the scandal. And then this piled up. Vincent began to receive hundreds of messages in private messages. The comments became more and more aggressive, he was accused of the most serious things. This literally began to break him. He deleted Instagram, blocked access to old videos. It seemed that he just wanted to disappear.
And then the day X came. On October 9, he went live on TikTok Live. The camera showed a dimly lit room. Window - silence. Comments were disabled. At first, nothing happened, and then suddenly screams. A woman was calling an ambulance in Italian. Someone was performing CPR, and one of the participants said - he hanged himself. Later, this information was confirmed.
Vincent committed suicide. Live on air. This news shocked the Internet, the first to apologize were those who were promoting the bullying, and Jay wrote that she did not want to harm and went too far, and also asked to stop sending her threats. A blogger participating in the bullying of Vincent wrote that it hurt him to hear about the death of the Inquisitor, but also did not accept threats and bullying against him. Titus' boyfriend recorded a video where he blamed IJ for everything, although later screenshots surfaced on the Internet where he wrote to her to put more pressure on Vincent.
This story shook the Internet so much that people started looking for revenge. The targeted disclosure of identities, dedocking of all accounts of people connected with this story was advertised. All participants received not just hate, but tons of hatred, personal data was leaked online. Someone even claimed that the Darknet had set a reward for IJ's head in the amount of 90 thousand dollars, that the entire darknet was looking for her to avenge the death of her boyfriend.
Now the girl's accounts are blocked on all platforms and almost nothing is known about her. Many believed that she was monitoring cybercrime or that the Darknet Avengers found her and did something really terrible. But the reality turned out to be completely different. There were no trials, no direct legal charges were brought against iJ. She does not appear on social networks, does not give interviews and does not comment in any way. She
behaves calmly, avoids publicity. According to a number of sources, IJ lives in Scotland and feels quite well. But why is that? Why was the person the Internet literally held responsible for driving her to suicide not punished? Perhaps there was no clear legal basis, no direct evidence of her malicious intent was found. But even with all the hatred, data leaks and threats, no one touched her.
Why? Perhaps the really big players, those who have resources, connections and money in the dark web, were not interested in this situation. After all, if they were interested, IJ would have already disappeared without a trace. The next story is more illustrative. She says that if you plan to do something bad through the Darknet, then be prepared for anything. It all started quite harmlessly. A woman named Melody Sesser met a man, David Volos, on the dating site match.com.
It turned out that they had a common passion, trekking, hiking, mountains, nature and camping. But there was no romance, at least on his part. But Melody, it seems, had already imagined everything. And everything would have been fine, but at some point he met another girl. The girl he actually fell in love with. So much so that he packed up and moved to another state, to Alabama.
And then he proposed to her. Something exploded inside Melody Sesser when she found out Wallace was engaged, and her reaction was, well, not exactly healthy. She wrote something like, “I hope you fall off a cliff and die.” And that was just the first alarm bell. She was pretty freaked out, right? Okay. At first, she just went to their house, started threatening.
Calling, texting, a real game of stalking began. Melody kept Wallace’s wife busy with all sorts of threats, even hacking her car. But that wasn’t all. She tracked her rival’s location, and yes, literally tracked her, through Jarmin’s fitness trackers. The ones that sync with your phone and record your routes. So she knew where the woman was, where she went, when she was home and when she was on the go.
Melody wasn't just mad, she really wanted revenge. She opened the Darknet, went to the online killers market website and wrote, indicated the target Jennifer Wallace, described her appearance, address, routine, sent photos. Sassa placed her order on January 11, 2023, transferred 10 thousand in bitcoin and started waiting, but nothing happened.
In March, she sent the site administrator a follow-up message, asking why the elimination was taking so long? The answer was still the same. Order accepted, operation in progress. They answered as if she had ordered some burgers and fries from Mac. Something like that. A few more days passed. Nothing. Then she wrote again. Where the hell is the result? She still runs in the mornings. What are you even doing? I paid.
And there were no more answers. But why, you ask. Because online killers This is not a professional killer hub, it's a banal trap. His reputation was dubious from the very beginning. There are a lot of legends about him on the darknet. One person ordered the disappearance of a neighbor, but got two plainclothes agents on the doorstep. Another left a request for himself for the sake of fun and a joke and a week later he really disappeared.
In short, what is the conclusion? That most likely there are more police officers on this site than at the station. This place is like a fishing spot for cops, catching those who are ready to clean for money, or, conversely, order a friend. Sasser was arrested in June 2023, initially due to complaints from Wallace's wife. During the search, all the correspondence was found. The court found Melody guilty of organizing the murder.
She was sentenced to 100 months in prison, that is 8 years and 4 months. After her release, she will be under supervision for another three years. The court also ordered compensation in the amount of $ 5,389 to be paid to the potential victim. But this is not the only story with the darknet mercenary site. In fact, there are many more who want to remove their loved ones online and not get their hands dirty.
Ronald Craig Ilk is 55 years old. He is not just a doctor, but a neonatologist. This is the one who saves the lives of newborns in intensive care. A person who, in theory, should be as adequate, collected and able to work under pressure. But under the pressure of divorce, he was particularly led. His marriage was falling apart and his wife decided to leave. They got married in 2016, and in 2018 a child was born in the family, after which the man decided to diversify his life and met another girl.
As you can guess, his wife did not like this and she left, filing for divorce. The couple had a child and he lived on a schedule, one week with his mother, one with his father. At this time, there were trials, a separation was underway. But Ilk apparently watched too many crime series and decided, why not go to the Darknet for a solution. And I went, found the platform, registered and started ordering.
The first order was a former colleague he couldn't stand. Why? Well, it was probably related to a complaint about him that kept him from getting a job at another hospital. He wanted her arms broken, he wrote that directly, the target had to be badly beaten. He sent a photo of the victim, the address, paid in bitcoins, but that was just a warm-up, the main target was the ex-wife.
The plan was to kidnap her, inject her with illegal substances, film her, plant the used syringes at home to make it look like she was the one who got hooked, and, attention, force her to return to her husband, regardless of her desire. He wrote that this was the main goal. A kind of family reunification. There would be a bonus for achieving it. Yeah, that's a story, imagine that. He also separately asked to achieve a result so that she wouldn't tell anyone anything and stop all legal proceedings.
Ilg took into account her work schedule, when she has a child, when she is home alone, when it is better to take. Everything was thought out, he even suggested using Bitcoin escrow, which is like a guarantee for a deal on the darknet. But fortunately, none of this happened. In April 2021, Ilk and his girlfriend were on vacation in Mexico, and there he told her that he had ordered his ex.
Just a genius, imagine what kind. His girlfriend was clearly in shock, she definitely did not want to be with her accomplice, and she contacted the doctor's wife. She wrote, "While we are here, strange things have happened, I need to talk to you as soon as possible." The couple was detained at the airport on April 11 after Ilk and his girlfriend returned to the United States. As it turned out, the FBI learned about Ilk's order from journalists who were investigating services on the darknet.
Court documents indicate that these reporters were from the BBC. That is, this time, the media were on the site with the killers. The FBI checked the correspondence, recorded transfers, photos and messages, and the case went to court. In August 2012, Ilg pleaded guilty. The court sentenced him to 96 months in prison for his attempt to hire killers through the dark web. According to the court's decision, he will also have to pay a $100,000 fine and $25,000 in compensation to the victims.
Now explain how a person who saves babies can come to the point of injecting his wife with drugs for the sake of reunification? This is some kind of wildness, how such people go crazy. That is, what happens for this? Do you have any ideas, in general, I'm waiting in the comments. Today you heard 4 stories about crimes that were involved in varying degrees on the dark web.
They are united by one thing, the confidence of the criminals that you can hide in the dark web, erase traces and remain unpunished, but almost always it ends the other way around. Fortunately. Be sure to write comments, and also write what topic to write a topic on, it will be very interesting to read and of course I listen to your every opinion.
Good luck to everyone and bye-bye.
