On the mid-north coast of New South Wales, a man suspected of trading narcotics for cryptocurrencies on the Dark Web has been given bail.
According to the police, between March 2018 and April 2023, Matthew Robert McDonald, 55, allegedly exchanged more than 450 times for narcotics and more than $1.4 million in cryptocurrencies.
