So because nobody else has pointed it out I thought I should.
Remember the huge DDOS attacks a few months ago which Mrniceguy market paid for? Yeah well this is no different.
The same person who done this DDOS is receiving money to take down abraxas.

Read his first post. He said a market is paying him to DOS abraxas. This alone isnt evidence however to confirm he is the real hack4crack he then posted in the thread from his year old account:

And as we all know he took down markets with his huge DDOS attacks months ago for money so there definitely is weight with his claim.
Hold tight people, we will ride through this.
It wouldn't surprise me if alphabay was paying for this DDOS and faked their own downtime. Then when they have a lot more users they can exit and make a shit ton.
