Nemesis Admin Tried to Relaunch After the Bust – It Gets Worse
Nemesis Market is back in the headlines, and not because it tried to relaunch.
In this follow-up video, I break down new information that’s dropped since my original Nemesis Market coverage, including a full federal indictment, OFAC sanctions, and updated transaction data that ties the former admin directly to over $1.6 million in laundered crypto.

If you haven’t seen the first video, go watch that. I walked you through what it was like to watch Nemesis collapse in real time, seizure notices, forum chaos, messages from "Francis," and Hugbunter verifying the takedown as legit. That video was about what it felt like. This one’s about what we now know.
The admin, an Iranian national, wasn’t just running a marketplace. He was the infrastructure. Payments, wallets, crypto mixing, laundering—he did it all. And now, he’s facing serious time: conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to launder money, and six counts of drug distribution. I break down exactly what those charges mean, using federal sentencing guidelines to show just how bad it could get. Spoiler: we’re talking Level 43 territory. That’s life, no parole.
I also cover why upward departures matter, how things like “sophisticated means,” international trafficking, or even just being too good at coding can actually make your sentence worse. If you’re even remotely involved in darknet operations, you should watch this to understand what law enforcement is really building when they say nothing.
