Been on several markets so I have some experience with this. I lost about $3500 when MEM went down and wanted to start slow somewhere else, so I decided to create a new account on Alphabay. Ive never lost any money on markets from getting phished or a market just taking my money, not including the exit scams. Well i deposited a little over $100 to my Alphabay wallet and it never showed, checked the wallet address on blockchain and it was sent to a wallet that is clearly used by an admin to siphon off money. Every few days there are deposits made, which are quickly withdrawn. I dont know if this Dark Net world is for me anymore.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Alphabay is a personal bank account for the admins and a scamming haven for their friends.
