Alphabay Welcome Email

Did anyone ever actually receive a welcome email from AlphaBay? I find this very hard to believe that they even sent an email out. If they had, who is entering a legit email address into a DNM?

I call bullshit on the FBI. No way this happened. Anyone who says they received the email and don't have proof are either bullshitting or LE. I want to see proof.

This does reek of parallel reconstruction. LE claims that they received a tip from someone in 2016 with the email. The email was supposedly used in the early day Alphabay forums as a welcome and a password reset (headers used to send out those emails). It reeks of parallel. The whole thing does. Sounds too much like Ross. Finding an opened laptop. They caused an outage at the server so they had already located the server before finding the opened laptop.

Remember thinking this when they outlined how DPR got caught, gotta hide using illegal tools

Posting this cuz no one seems to know about it (it was common knowledge in the initial mega thread but everyone forgot apparently)

The welcome email was for the forums not the website. For those of you familiar with web developing specifically forums, you often have to buy forum software and in that you use your email. Your email is automatically added to the software and it is included in the header when the software sends an automatic welcome messages. Unfortunately seeing out admin wasn't the most tech savvy guy, didn't realize this for a little while and so his legit email was leaked

It was off the forum I think

This definitely sounds like Parallel Construction. Meaning they probably gained info and busted the place illegitimately and had to make up a story that made it seem like they made a noob mistake that led them right to it. i remember when alphabay first popped up, i made accounts on the market and forum and dont remember anything to do with an email sent out or even an option to add an email. Unless he fucked up when he bought the forum software and used his clearnet email but that doesnt seem right at all

Do you ever feel your own stomach fat? How does it feel like when you squish the blubber using your fingers and move it around using your fingers?
