[Complaint/Warning] Havana Market FUD

So Ive been looking around Havana market for a few days now and it keeps going up and down in a constant loop. I checked out the forums and user MDparody is saying that their admin Probablefire is unfit to run a market and server and that he is easily taking the site offline himself. He says they owe him btc for prior work or something like that. Kinda sucks because i like the look, interface and idea behind the market (only weed and psychedelics), but none of that is worth dick if the site is unsafe to use and the admin incapable. That could certainly all be FUD, but it doesnt really sound like it -im sure /u/mdparody will chime in here.

We have been getting DDOSed, most likely by the guy is asking for BTC, but I am not sure how that makes us unfit to run a market. I could just as easily say that Agora admins are unfit to run a market, but that doesn't mean my accusations have any merit.

mdparody is nothing more than a troll. i wouldn't believe anything he says.

Very insecure, the admin is dumb enough to SSH into the server without using an onion address. Since I already hacked their server I was able to collect information on when and from where they connect to the server. Now I'm sitting on a treasure trove of information about them, including the private keys to their onion addresses, copies of the DB, code and system logs.

I was hired to work with them to fix things. I helped them fix a lot of things but it got to the point where I realized they just were not cut out for this. Now they refuse to pay me so I decided to shut them down until they pay me what they owe. If they pay me they can have their shit site back until the DEA/FBI arrests them because the programmer ProbableFire has no business running a DNM and has no clue how to properly secure and harden a server.

I can prove this all too because I had them sign a message with their market public key saying I worked for them for 7.5 of the profit. When I realized how they wouldn't last 6 months I decided to cut and run, I want my pay upfront since this site is never gonna last. If they pay me I stop the DOS and walk away.

I defend sites so vendors and customers are safer, sorry if you got caught in the crossfire. I just don't tolerate admins pretending they offer security when they are infact 20-somethings with no experience or ability.
