Do you think big DNM vendors also sling IRL?

Just wondering if some of the biggest and most professional market vendors who are moving large quantities and probably making 50k+ a month from online sales also sell in distribution amounts to people they know in real life? Or in street amounts to their friends and whatnot?

How would they manage OPSEC? Would their IRL customers have any clue that they're a DNM vendor too? Would love to hear from some actual vendors, of course it's doubtful that they'd share anything that could be a compromise to OPSEC... I'm just curious what others think about this as it is a life I could not imagine.

Probably not. Why bring heat to you and risk "turf wars" if you're making 10fold on the internet literally doing nothing?

Probably not and if they do, they're probably very stupid. If you're a big vendor, that means you need to keep a lot of weight to continue your business. Being out and "sling IRL" will get you caught easier, house raided, and if you have any shit in there, boom, you're fucked. Not just that, but you risk harming your internet business and harming your costumers. How can it harm your costumers? Lets say LE raids your home and you had excessive unused packages? They're going to assume you're mailing drugs and they'll probably seize your computer and if they find your password somehow, your account(s) get compromised and your costumers risk getting honeyfuckedintheass.

I hope big vendors don't operated out of their homes and I really hope big vendors don't "sling IRL" and also operate out of their homes.

I always wonder how they launder all that cash. Like FE sees guy with no job probably fancy car and house like WTF?

Any big vendor who still sells offline does not sell drugs for money. They do it for the thrill. The money is the score counter.

THeStimGuy has said on here that he dealt IRL. He said he kept the two worlds separate. His IRL had no idea that he was dealing on the DNMs. But who knows. He was moving a decent amount towards the end

Some do for sure. The biggest one I can think of off the top of my head is AS1kg. I've seen others mention it in their profiles when they introduce a new batch to their marketplace store and mention how much their IRL customers love it. That could just be a marketing ploy in many or all cases.


[2 Points] OnAcidButUrThedum1:

I know a few vendors who deal IRL as well. They have admitted so on Reddit. Alexsosa1KG, NCZ, HeisenburgMontana, TheLemonadeStand, etc.

I would imagine that the majority of vendors also deal IRL in big or small ways. It's just more money to move more product and if you do it right, you are still at a higher risk, but you should be fine if you deal with solid people.

I think the more common drug vendors probably do. Heroin, coke, meth, weed, crack? These people were probably slinging for years.

Theres all sorts of unusual or mostly unheard of substances in the DNM though. Try standing on a street corner selling 4-aco-dmt. I highly doubt those people are selling IRL.

I think Xanax King dealt in real life, oh and Shiny Flakes and both of them are gone due to their personal opsec.

These are the DNMs there are many ways to launder bitcoin. Vendors launder money though "selling bitcoin", you can create fake identities and fake bank accounts to launder money, and as sketchy as it may seem some vendors use other vendors to launder their money.

So think outside of the box, the DNMs can be a crazy world and we're only getting a slight peak into them.

I'm not sure it was what you'd call a "big" vendor, but I've definitely gone to order from a vendor before, I can't remember their name, only to see an update on their vendor page saying they were out of stock of some product due to increased street sales haha

Can any other members check their account and see if buyers have had their 2FA disabled/fucked with/changed....I don't have an account there with them anymore, so i can't check personally. My old account had the PGP password saved on a TAILS USB which i lostr.

Anyway, this Nuke situation(according to OP) along with multiple other recent complaints and concerns about Nuc would be enough for me to stay away from the site; if i DID still have an account.
