so i took a gander at the swedish police's personal onion address and noticed they have a list of arrested vendors (mainly from the netherlands). How did they locate them? I understand how they were able to identify buyers by tricking them into encrypting their personal addys with the swedish LE's PGP key, but how did the vendors themselves get caught? Its not like they ever had to put their personal address on the site at any time, unlike the buyers...
please excuse the noobish question, i am just trying to educate myself more in order to stay a few steps ahead WHEN (not if) the next big market comes up
P.S don't worry i am posting this msg and accessing theses onion addresses behind 7,000 proxies
They knew what address the packs were going to. Flag the pack and stop it and find where it was dropped. Work back from there
