and cracked his password—the name of a football club and a number.
Phishkingz used this same password on Reddit and Jabber; an online chat service.
Slow clap
The amount of people that use short, weak passwords on the darknet, and use the same passwords and usernames all over the place, is astounding.
Even some vendors and people who are pissing off the wrong people can't manage to use something as basic as Keepass to keep identities separate and secure to prevent shit like this happening.
Laziness or stupidity? A lot of both I think.

Doxxing someone is normally a lowlife thing to do but if anyone had it coming, phiskingz certainly did. I hope someone he ripped off lives close by and can pay him a visit. He deserves it!

During his Deep Dot Web interview, Phishkingz mentioned he hacked a dark web market called Trishula
Interesting thing to say considering the fact that Trishula was create months after his initial interview and days after his Traderoute related article
And for those of you who are still unsure, InsanityDNM IS Phishkingz and this whole ordeal is utter bullshit and just an OPSEC identity change

ROUGH JUSTICE The Dark Web’s Most Notorious Thief, Phishkingz, Gets Doxxed The most feared thief on the dark web has been exposed by a vigilante hacker proving that no one is safe in the lawless underbelly of the internet.
Joseph Cox JOSEPH COX 10.18.17 2:41 PM ET Users of the dark web, where customers can mail order any drug imaginable, don’t only have to worry about the cops. Hackers and scammers are constantly looking to empty unsuspecting shoppers’ digital wallets, typically by tricking them into handing over usernames and passwords. But events have come full circle for one of the dark web’s most notorious thieves, known as Phishkingz. Over the past few days, a hacker has targeted Phishkingz, figured out what appears to be his real identity, and attempted to extort him. The case highlights how people who hide behind pseudonyms online can sometimes be unmasked, especially due to their own, sloppy mistakes.
“He probably saw the thread I made on Reddit and shit himself,” the attempted extortionist, who goes by the handle InsanityDRM, told The Daily Beast. The dark web is a small collection of websites which use special software, called Tor, to hide the physical location of the website’s servers. This means law enforcement agencies have a harder time tracking down who is hosting a dark web site. This technology, along with the pseudo anonymous currency bitcoin, has facilitated dozens of online marketplaces, which offer drugs, and sometimes weapons and stolen data. Phishkingz runs an elaborate network of fake marketplaces designed to look exactly like the originals, but with a key difference—when a customer logs into the fake market, the site sends their login details to Phishkingz. He can then log in and try to steal the target’s bitcoins. But what separates Phishkingz from other dark web hackers is that he is not hiding in the shadows. Far from it, Phishkingz taunts his victims publicly on Reddit, and flexes his muscles in media interviews. “I dominate the phishing scene on the dark web,” he said in a recent interview with news site Deep Dot Web. In that interview, Phishkingz claimed, perhaps optimistically, to have made over $1,000,000 targeting users of AlphaBay, which until recently was the largest marketplace on the dark web.
With that notoriety, Phishkingz has made some enemies. “I noticed how much he was flexing on the [Trade Route] subreddit,” InsanityDRM, the extortionist, told The Daily Beast. Trade Route is a typical dark web market that vanished recently. Phishkingz was “acting like he’s a boss,” InsanityDRM said.“Figured I’d knock him down a peg or two.” In short, InsanityDRM followed some of the crumbs Phishkingz had left online. During his Deep Dot Web interview, Phishkingz mentioned he hacked a dark web market called Trishula. So InsanityDRM says he hacked Trishula himself, found Phishkingz’s login details, and cracked his password—the name of a football club and a number. The Daily Beast independently obtained a copy of the same dark web marketplace database, which was already publicly available, and confirmed that Phishkingz’s password was the same as the one InsanityDRM claims to have discovered.
According to InsanityDRM, Phishkingz used this same password on Reddit and Jabber; an online chat service. To prove he had access, InsanityDRM contacted The Daily Beast from Phishkingz’s account. InsanityDRM then searched through other hacked databases for people using the same password. He found a match with someone registered on several sites focused on credit card fraud, using what appeared to be their personal email address. That led to a Facebook account, which also used the same password a number of years ago. InsanityDRM tried, unsuccessfully, to extort Phishkingz with these discoveries for around $10,000. The person believed to be behind the notorious scam identity has since deleted or increased the privacy settings on his Facebook, and did not respond to a request for comment. InsanityDRM also believes Phishkingz runs Onion.top, a website that allows people to connect to dark web markets without using Tor, but which appears to tamper with the content of visited sites. InsanityDRM says he has already provided all of the information to the authorities. As Motherboard reported, an IRS agent contacted InsanityDRM asking for more details. InsanityDRM shared screenshots of alleged conversations he had with this agent with The Daily Beast. “Yeah I provided them with his info,” InsanityDRM said. The IRS agent declined to comment. Even though dark web marketplace users may have little legal respite—it’s unlikely someone buying heroin is going to complain to the police when a thief steals their bitcoin—authorities have previously arrested people who hack dark web customers. Last year, Michael Richo was charged in connection with his own scheme to steal bitcoins using phishing pages. Richo obtained more than $365,000 and over 10,000 usernames and passwords, according to the Justice Department, and he later pleaded guilty. “I wonder if he’s finally on the run,” InsanityDRM said of Phishkingz.

There is still no proof anything is true in any of the stuff that's been said in the last few days.
Right now it could still all be smoke and mirrors. Interestingly, this sensational story is more of a talking point than Trade Route.
A screen shot of a piece of a conversation proves nothing, especially when the LE agent has confirmed nothing - simply requesting that their details are kept confidential.
I can make a screen shot of the conversation I had with any one you can imagine in well under an hour in most cases. (Holla for a dollar ;)
The best course of action at this point is to get on with your life and forget about it.

For me, meth mangled my face and asshole. For phish Kingz, his face and asshole will be mangled without meth. It’s a strange place we live in.

It was really smart for a millionaire criminal mastermind to grant an interview to the media. Same mistake that took down Nod and helped take down Ross. If you're running a criminal enterprise, shut the fuck up about it! Don't agree to a profile by Buzzfeed or whatever.

the irony speaks for itself now doesn't it eh lol
OK. Question/countersign/challenge for you, /u/InsanityDRM.
TradeRoute paid PhishFoodz exactly 0.75 BTC every Friday.
He's mentioned this is the amount the TR admin offered and paid him, as described in the hilarious support/blackmail-negotiation messages.
However, PK also made it very clear that he only saw 0.375 bitcoin per week, because the full bounty was split 50/50 between him and his "coding partner" (the "brains of the operation", I suppose one could say).
more proof and yes it says 0.75btc this is split between me and my coding partner i mentioned before QQQQQQ but this is another story i will end up being forced to prove so lets not go into that...

Anything. Would help.

Trishula was the first Brazilian Black Market. This market was hacked on its first day, by the Phishkingz as I explained here:
look at line 177, that's Phishkingz's password and he used the same password on all darknet and clearnet accounts.

This is honestly the best thing I ever read on the sub ever. Made me smile from ear to ear the whole time. Fucking awesome. That fucking idiot needed to get over himself and stop robbing people.
Glad he's gone. Hopefully this part is true:
"InsanityDRM says he has already provided all of the information to the authorities."
I hope something comes of it. This guy was an arrogant piece of shit.
Scamming people and stealing people's money, then helping ruin TR and played a part in their exit scam and losing more people money (directly AND indirectly from this asshole)
He can fuck off and die. He's kind isn't wanted in this world.
InsanityDRM, thank you thank you thank you
