ขาย//khaăi means to sell
ของ//khŏrng means an item

หุ้น//hûn means stocks/shares.
This is probably the easiest, a stock market.

มืด//mêud means dark
Since it’s dark, figuratively, the authority is not supposed to see (or know) what they are selling. It could be legitimate items sold at exorbitant prices, or illegal items, of course.
