Can confirm with high confidence that Budworx has been arrested.

Keep this in context... Think of the hours of manpower that went into all this fruitless stupidity. Hundreds of LE personnel cumulatively working 100,000s of hours. To bust six people. Wow, color me impressed.

That's six vendors down, about... 2,000 to go?

I know that darknet UK dealing will now cease completely now that these six have been arrested. Nope, it will now take another multi-million hour manpower operation to get the next set of six vendors. And six brand-new vendors will rush in to take these guy's places, when there's "quid" to be made.

LE has essentially infinite resources at their disposal, in contrast to your average vendor. Six people.

Yippee.

This is not good news, but then again if these vendors did not have tight OPSEC then it may have made it safer for buyers.

As for the ToYouTeam, we are all OK and evaluating where to setup shop in addition to Evo - Agora seems the logical choice but we are willing to look at alternatives.

We luckily did not lose much £ as we withdraw hourly and all SR2 orders that we could see were shipped.

We would like to remind our customers to ALWAYS use PGP for sensitive information (preaching to the choir with the audience here I know but. . . )

If any of our customers have a preferred market outside of Evo and Ag please let us know and we will consider setting up there.

Stay safe all.

Weigh the risks and rewards here if your a drug dealer, or someone who wants to start selling drugs......

Option A) Sell dope on the corner in front of the quick stop, make $300, get shot in a drive by, make another $300, then get swooped up by local PD.

Option 2) Sell on the darknet where you can work in a controlled environment, you earn THOUSANDS per day and the odds of being arrested are 16 out of 3,000.

Fact is that all street dealers big and small get caught, or at least 99% of them and the effort it takes to arrest these dealers is minimal.

This whole bullshit operation has seriously got me thinking about selling drugs now! Wait so I could sell drugs on the darknet and not meet my customers, make millions of dollars and the odds of being arrested are 16 out of 3,000?? Sign me up!!!

As three of the arrests were all in Aberdovey it might have been better to say 3 vendors arrested as it's very likely all the ones there worked together.


[3 Points] Br1skT1ske:

a few vendors that havent logged in 24 hours+.

panacea 4.96/5, 500~1000 deals 1 day

FunkyUnicorn 2 days

Maybe im slow but it looks like Budworx profile is gone from Agora.

Fucking hell cleethorpes, only a few mile from me.

Sure has been some disturbance lately. Any idea which vendors these are?


[1 Points] None:

LE are really going for it. My first though is was the vendors OPSEC up to top standard? I can't see how LE would find their identity unless they screwed up some how with OPSEC. I also have a feeling LE are trying to scare alot of vendors into backing out and scare buyers for making purchases. OPSEC will save you, use your common sense guys.

Think that they will be keeping an extra eye out on mail movements from these areas over the next few days? A friend of a friend ordered something tuesday which was marked as shipped but still not got anything. Also, think MR cronk has been taken down? Heard he was a pretty big vendor (1000+) and hasn't been online in 7 hours.
