[Beowulf] What is a "dark market"

[John Hearns]

Jonathan,    Marcus Hutchins is the British security expert who shut down
the WannaCry ransomware, which was ravaging across the British National
Health Service amongst many other organisations. He decoded the packets it
was sending, then registered the unusual domain name which acted as a 'kill
switch'.
Marcus then went onto US soil to attend a conference in LAs Vegas, and was
arrested when travelling in the US.

There is something deeply suspicious about this whole story.
