But do you know 5miles? Or Letgo? Or OfferUp or Neerbuy
or Saily or VarageSale? These sites are a visual
marketplace, showing pictures of an item but often
including few words to describe it. They offer the seller
anonymity while making it hard for police or others to
search the web for keywords. Lost a bike? You could spend
hours scrolling through pictures across more than a
half-dozen sites trying to track it down. Then do it
again the next day. These sites may sell legit
merchandise. But they’re also the 21st-century way to
fence stolen goods.
This makes it sound an awful lot like these sites are knowingly - or at least with a Lucille Bluth wink - catering to people fencing stolen goods.
