It sounds a lot more complicated than it should. The dark pools are simply networks that allow large traders to keep their activity out of the public eye. Hence others cannot watch what is taking place and respond. Kind of like a few people using the private back room of a restaurant to do business. We know it goes on but just what “it” is is unclear or dark.
If anyone has a better explanation I'd appreciate their input.

Are you talking about large hedge funds? The group we're going to have to bail out next? They damn well better be out there if they expect a dime from the taxpayers.

Most of us are getting tired of bailing out reckless multimillionaires.
