According to their press release, Sipulimarket had become the hub of all sorts of illegal activities, including buying/selling of drugs and other illicit goods. The market surfaced on the Onion directory in 2019 as an alternative to the much popular Finnish market Silk Road Silkkitie (or Valhalla), which was shut down in spring 2019.

According to Europol, Finnish customers received full support from the agency where it provided technical expertise and operational support, including seizure banner hosting. EC3 was supported by Bitdefender IT security firm.
The market is still under investigation by Finnish Customers, and the department is now focusing on identifying the users and market staff.
