The largest German drug dealer on Tor, shiny-flakes.to got busted last week, police officials revealed this Wednesday, 11.03.2015. The main dailer was caught with more than 320kg (705lbs) of Cocaine. Several other flats were raided, there will be a press conference on Thursday.

There are no details about how exactly police found the main actors, probably he was too easy going with his personal data.

Shiny-Flakes had a clearweb address (shiny-flakes.to), which was hosted in Tonga - and now links to a police recruitment campaign.

There are no english reports on this yet. This is my summary based on the following newspaper report. Here's the english translation:
