As far as individual vendors go, Dopeman on Agora probably walked off with about 10k if I had to guess.

Probably sheep marketplace. Site was legit as fuck until they ran with the money. I always browsed it but never made any purchases from there.

I was into the scene before TOR, back in 2006-2008. I remember OPR was a big site that eventually went down in flames (don't they always?). There was this dude, maplesyrup, selling OC40s for $20 from canada. Dude had TONS of them and always provided. The thing was there was a chain of canadian dealers who always had fire shit, and one would retire (exit scam) and the next would pop up a few days later. Always from Toronto, always really mean, and always would go on anti-palestinian rants (I swear to god). Also claimed to be an ex canadian commando.
Anyways MapleSyrup built up tons of trust and bought OPR from the admin (I think this was shady, pretty sure admin was in on it) and did some huge forum manipulation scam on the oxy. The scene was wayyyyy smaller back then so he got thousands instead of millions. Was a huge deal at the time though.
Some of you cats might remember my thread about being an old school pre-tor vendor. Wanna know what happened when $1.5k worth of my shit got seized? I paid it all back, the vast majority of it was via paypal (I allowed paypal for repeat customers, dumb but it had nothing to do with me being busted. Feds weren't onto the scene back then). There was one guy who was real spooked about me paying him back after I said I was busted, other than that I paid about $1.5k back.
The big problem was paying the Dopeman back! He had fronted me all of the drugs! He was cool about it though, gave me a few months.
