[Agora] Addyshack Likely Compromised

Finished cleaning house and wanted to do a quick psa that Addyshack is likely compromised. He recently went missing for a few days and then popped up saying he was in the hospital (of all places) for a PCP trip gone wrong (Note that he claims to work alone and that he blacked out at home but woke up at a hospital; not sure how he would have gotten to the hospital based on that narrative). That's a redflag in and of itself but I decided to give ordering a shot regardless. A few days later Addyshack sends the message claiming he needs the address resent due to a mix-up.

This pattern of behavior is strongly correlated with previous dnm vendors who have been compromised and had LE take over their accounts to bust buyers.

I strongly suggest avoiding any transactions with Addyshack atleast for the next few weeks

I think "likely compromised" is going a bit far.

I can't say I agree with always assuming LE when a vendor disappears for a couple of days and then needs a resend of your address.

If he had been compromised when he first disappeared why would LE have deleted your original delivery message? I don't understand why they would need you to send it again. If they have his key why wouldn't they just decrypt your first message.

If he needs a resend I would think he had already deleted your first delivery message which would not make sense if he had been compromised.

And also the excuses vendors make for being gone are probably always horse shit. Why would they tell us a true story? I laugh when I read all of HOS' excuses. I find them hilarious because you have to read them as fiction. Telling the truth would be horrible opsec. I just think HOS has a great sense of humor.

I do believe you are being a bit over paranoid but to each his own I guess.

Was just about to place an order...thanks for the heads-up!

Perhaps all is good and he really simply got roofied with PCP, and just so happened to also need you to resend your addy (pun intended). Very possible....but did he request you to send your address with the same PGP key? A new one? None at all??

He told me he was just overwhelmed with orders and even released my coins back to me after finalizing.

Right, give this FUD a rest please. I have not been compromised. Yes I have been under a ridiculous amount of stress, and have had had some health issues. And with orders blowing up (I never expected to be as successful at this as I have been), my stress levels continue to grow a nd i'm down to about 10-15 hours of sleep per week.

So let me state clearly: I have not been compromised. I've simply been under a lot of stress and have been fucking orders left and right. And I also an true to my word that I DO NOT save addresses, so once I've shipped they're purged from my records forever.

Yes, I have been slower to get orders out than usual. this is due to the higgh volume of orders I never ever anticipated receiving when i started vending, and also due to the affore mentioned high levels of stress I've been going through and the health issues I've had.

Plus, in order for LE to fake my PGP they'd have to break through my ridiculously long persistent drive on tails which is written down nowhere and only makes sense to me, and also do the same with the other and different yet also ridiculoiusly long password i use for my PGP address. Whcih again, is random gibberish written down nowhere and only makes sense to me.

So think what you want. If you think I'm LE posing as Addyshack, than don't fucking order. In fact I could use a little down time because like I said, I am stressed almost to the point of breaking.

If you're one of my loyal customers who i love doing business with and need some way to prove to you that I haven't been compromised, than we can think of a way to prove that I haven't. I don't know what exactly would be, but if anyone thinks of anyting let me know.

Smells like LE

Maybe he stripped down then ran outside screaming at hallucinations, then somebody probably called 911 for him.

This pattern of behavior is strongly correlated with previous dnm vendors who have been compromised and had LE take over their accounts to bust buyers.

This pattern of behavior is also strongly correlated with vending on Agora. As a safety precaution, Agora wipes out the buyer address once an order is marked "shipped." If something happens to that address -- a power failure, a "oh, shit, are you the guy who gets 10 Xanax bars or the guy who gets 20 Klonopins" etc. -- the vendor must write back to the buyer and ask for him to resend it.

Zombie post but...

He's not LE, he's just a shitty vendor who doesn't take it seriously.

Ok so you've had a month to think about this. Do you now realize how dim-witted it sounds to think that this "narrative" is a redflag? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
