What does it take to catch those using dark web markets for illicit purchases? In one startling Georgia-based case, involving a man who pled guilty to trying to acquire a mail bomb on a Tor-hosted market, they threw the digital kitchen sink at the perp.

The use of the simulator was only required as the police couldn't acquire accurate enough location information from AT&T, which provided metadata about the use of the phone. (On dark markets, reputation is everything).
