TradeRoute Goes Down. Lights Out?

Uncanny how some of the current TradeRoute story mirrors that of AlphaBay. It may well be server migration. But if it is, why hasn't any Admin actually said such? Little odd.

Site could come back up, certainly. Given the security problems TradeRoute has, it might take a couple of days to fix them all. I don't think that is news to anyone either. We all know TradeRoute is simply a stopgap measure until a good market pops up.

I don't think this immediately screams law enforcement either. Might be, but seems they would have shut TradeRoute down before now. THat said, I'm fairly confident law enforcement has numerous inroads in TradeRoute, so could be LE action.

Exit scam? Well.... TradeRoute admins have to know the average market lifespan is about 18 months. THey have to know they will likely get life in prison if caught. Given the latest LE success stories the admins might feel it better to take the money and run than stick around and wait for the police to cart them off where they learn how to poop in front of other men. I don't know, but that is what I would do.

Yeah, they could just be exit scamming. It's happened before and it can happen again.

lol I knew they were going to exit scam. When they're announcements started to add things like" we will be here for years and years to come". Also that guy they have speak for them on Reddit is a complete asshat /u/traderoutemoderator.
