Is Black Market Legal???
What is Black Market? According to survey, Parties engaging in the production or distribution of prohibited goods and services are members of the illegal economy. Examples include the Drug trade, Prostitution (where prohibited), illegal currency transactions and Human trafficking. Now, we shall How is Black Market Working and the Topics and Sub-topics:
INTRODUCTION
A Black Market, underground economy or shadow economy, is a clandestine market or series of transactions that has some aspect of illegality or is characterized by some form of non compliant behavior with an institutional set of rules. If the rule defines the set of 'goods and services' whose production and distribution is prohibited by law, non-compliance with the rule constitutes a black market trade since the transaction itself is illegal. Cash usage is the preferred ‘medium of exchange’ in illegal transactions since cash usage does not leave a footprint.
PRICING
Goods and services acquired illegally and/or transacted for in an illegal manner may exchange above or below the price of legal market transactions:
They may be cheaper than legal market prices. The supplier does not have to pay for production costs and/or taxes. This is usually the case in the underground economy. Criminals steal goods and sell them below the legal market price, but there is no receipt, guarantee, and so forth. They may be more expensive than legal market prices.
WEAPONS
The legislatures of many countries forbid or restrict the personal ownership of weapons. These restrictions can range from small knives to firearms, either altogether or by classification (e.g.caliber, handguns, automatic weapons, and explosives). The black market supplies the demands for weaponry that can not be obtained legally,or may only be obtained legally after obtaining permits and paying fees.
ANIMALS AND ANIMAL PRODUCTS
In many developing countries, living animals are captured in the wild and ‘sold’ as pets. Wild animals are also hunted and killed for their meat, hide, and organs, the latter of which and other animal parts are sold for use in traditional medicine.
BIOLOGICAL ORGANS
According to the ‘World Health Organization (WHO)’, illegal organ trade occurs when organ -s are ‘removed’ from the body for the purpose of commercial transactions. The WHO justifies its stance on the issue by stating, "Payment for organs is likely to take unfair advantage of the poorest and most vulnerable groups, undermines altruistic donation and leads to profiteering and human trafficking. Research indicates that illegal organ trade is on the rise, with a recent report by Global Financial Integrity estimating that the illegal organ trade generates profits between $600 million and $1.2 billion per year with a span over many countries.
CURRENCY
Money itself is traded on the black market. This may happen for one or more of several reasons: More recently ‘cryptocurrencies’ such as “bitcoin” have been used as medium of exchange in Black market transactions. Cryptocurrencies are sometimes favored over centralized currency due to their anonymous nature and their ability to be traded over the internet.
SEX TOYS
There are some countries where sex toys are illegal, such as Saudi Arabia, Thailand and India.The illegality has prevented certain clearing processes such as safety testing when they are sold on the black market. Other platforms used to sell sex toys on the black market include consumer-to-consumer online websites, as well as private pages on social media websites. In black market venues in Cambodia, sex toys have been seized alongside aphrodisiac products.
SELLING GIRLS
If sex sells, then business is good. This is how sex traffickers do business. It’s all about supply and demand. First, they need someone to sell. Traffickers target young people in their own homes, by combing through social media profiles, looking to spark a conversation. The trafficker targets preteens and teens by finding something to bond over and earn their trust. Once the child is isolated from family and friends, the trafficker puts them up for sale. This is where the demand comes in. Traffickers use ‘internet sites’ to connect with buyers. They are abusers. They are purchasing ‘kids’ for sex. They took “nude” pictures of her to post on the internet. He told her after every sex date, she should bring the proceeds back to him. So who are these buyers? The trafficker gets the money. The buyer gets the sex. The child victim gets exploited and sold. So how is this different from prostitution, pornography or other sexual acts? These victims are minors. Legally, they cannot consent. This isn’t the movies. This is sexual exploitation. This is trafficking. This is modern day slavery. It’s selling girls.
