A 23-year-old man from Taiwan is set to appear in a New York court Monday on charges of allowing the sale of more than $100 million worth of illegal drugs on a dark web website he allegedly founded.
Rui-Siang Lin was arrested Saturday at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and will be presented in Manhattan federal court on Monday, according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Lin is accused of being the architect of Incognito Market, a dark web scheme to traffic deadly drugs to the U.S. and around the world.
“The long arm of the law extends to the dark web, and we will bring to justice those who try to hide their crimes there,” Garland said in the statement on Monday. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the dark web is “not a safe haven for those who seek to break the law.”
