I would first like to say... GET YOUR SHIT RIGHT DARK NET MARKETS! I'm sorry but this is getting ridiculous. First Evo exit scammed everyone (could've been prevented by multi sig), then AlphaBay is getting more and more shady everyday... (Every vendor I was messaging just seemed to stop responding - this started as soon as TOR was getting DDoS.) and Abraxas... Please shut down with dignity. Who ever you are.. you don't know how to run a SECURE market. So stop.
Is anyone else here loosing hope in these DNM? We need a change. I don't know how but we definitely need a change.
Evo scams.
Abraxas IP leaked and supposedly now in LE's control.
Shiny Flakes vendor was arrested some day's before Evo pulls off scam.
0day Tor vulnerability.
Lots of markets gone down, people in panic or in desperation to buy their wares going to any market that's up.
Vendors not responding on Alphabay (acc to you, i havent verified)
Middle Earth subreddit made private suddenly.
All of this, seems fishy as fuck. Screams like LE is planning the next Operation Onymous.
Everyone, stay safe.
