If this is news to you, you are a noob.
They are a front for Binance.
This is war time. Use any centralised third party as if they are your enemy.
Tainted (risk scored) transactions are a real thing on transparent chains.
That's why cypherpunks preach the use of Monero.
In the case of Travala, the removal of Monero (after advertising it big times on Reddit and elsewhere) has been a gigantic red flag.
Huge business opportunity for those who know how to set this up correctly.

That's why we keep saying all that touts itself #FreedomTech is really not.
Just slapping the Bitcoin sticker on it, does not a #PrivacyRefuge make.
If these products have their dockers, their cloud computing, their routers, their DNS, or anything as such on centralized servers, they are directly on the mercy of whatever jurisdiction they function in.
They are DIRECTLY accountable to the archaic centralized laws of their Master IP registration.
Trust nothing with a #Bitcoin sticker blindly anymore. Obfuscate everything to whatever degree possible.
Few.
They never really did justify why they removed it, did they?
I remember hearing their CEO way back in the day saying they loved #monero and it was (predictably, seems to happen a lot when it's an option...) a top payment choice quite regularly.
And then one day it wasn't there anymore. No announcements, only deflection when asked about it.
In summary: darknet markets are inevitable.
