[CommunityDiscussion] Large German operations being taken down one by one. B54 & Shiny Flakes.

So I've noticed that German vendors who get cocky and open up their own clearnet sites are slowly being taken down. One per year. Bungie's operation was taken down slowly, he had been vending since SR1 I believe (good fuck those guys). And recently Shiny-flakes who had a ridiculous amount seized from them, but was in operation for only about a year or so. Due to their bad packaging techniques which where easy to triangulate in a given area.

Whose to say German Vendors Interways/Toyota are next on the chopping block? Interways has been fairly consistent and a stand up guy. Yet, I have reason to suspect that his downfall is very near. His packages have begun to be profiled and if he doesn't change his packaging, it will be the end for him. Toyota is a vendor who I've been meaning to use for awhile. However, with all this heat coming from Europe, I'm content paying double to keep it domestic.

Just my two cents.

Not to nitpick but bungee was Belgium was he not?

Bungee actually resurfaced, but he was only selling large orders. That was on Evo. I am not sure if he is still around anywhere. As far as I know no member of their team was actually arrested. I agree though. I am in the US, and ordering international is becoming a pain in the ass. Orders take forever to make it to me, if they ever make it at all.

German LE on the DNMs are to US LE like the girl scouts are to seal team six. The german Tor group "Zwiebelfreunde", has stated that the german LE completly lacks the know how to attack Tors hidden service in any way.

My point is: German LE works together with the Feds, and chances are some busts were made possible by the aftermath of op. onymous. But the germans themselves got no clue, every arrest must be due to human faliure.

And as a political sidenote: German LE doesn't even want those cases, they blow up the statistics with crimes that are of no interesst to the public. I got it on somewhat good authority that US pressure is playing a key role in the motivation of european LE forces to stop DNM activity.

Where did you hear about bungee being busted?

folks,

I'm from germany and there are many more vendors behind bars/awaiting to be put behind bars than actually listed here. like weedstarenergy who sold 500g packs of ganja err well he was planning to. he was growin the stuff in an extra flat but some motherfucker called the police because (dont axx me) "it was suspicious that noone ever was in that flat". well. and I dont know why the fuck the police even followed that retard and kept watching the entrance to that building. they had no clue that the flat was full of ganjaplants and prepacked yield. the guy drove to the flat with his girl and shipping stickers w/ addresses(express shipping) in his car. as he entered police followed and he got fucked right away with kilos of ganja, addresses and plants not yet ready for yield. they busted nearly all domestic meth dealers (pretty bad for a dude like me)on the DNMs and started to harass speed (amphetamine) dealers recently. and AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THE STUPID FUCK SHINY FLAKES: despite the fact that the greedy retard just got what he deserved and was askin for with his stupid clearnet shop and the habit of stockin 320 kilos of narcs at his room in his mothers flat (where he lived) he didnt get busted cuz LE knew how his shipments looked or the like. he was dumb and lazy and thats whats fucked him: he didnt put enuff stamps/postage on so many shipments that they bounced to an inexistent sender address. and that happended in so many cases that the parcel distribution center which was right in the town he lived (actually he was located few steps away from it) got suspicious and started investigatin. and cuz he dropped ALL of his shipments at the same "packstation" (drop your shipment when postal office is closed, postal guy picks it up f delivery). they simply started observation on that particular packstation and got him after a few days. they just waited til they could fuck him and all of his offline and partly online suppliers.

simply a lesson in being humble instead of being a greedy impolite fuck. but I feel verry sorry for all folks who are listed in his database (yeh,a DB..). the anxiety and paranoia never was that huge concerning german folks buyin n vendin @DNMs. I feel like they tryin to carry the failed offline war on drugs online. but still, they do not have the capabilities of deanon any TOR user despite the claim they do. if you listen to the exact words of the CIDs spokesman at the press conference concerning shinys bust youre gonna notice that. be safe and ffs encrypt your shit! if you dont feel the need for it at this time you probably should piss off and leave the markets for good. for your own security and the security of anybody else.

peace

What about IMB? Haven't seen/heard of him for a hot minute son.


[1 Points] roadmovie234:

just checked their AG profile and says B has been online today. And there is even fresh feedback.

But the account is on vacation mod.

Toyota is definitely already compromised. I've seen his stealth mentioned in quite a few bust articles. Either way Toyota is still a fucking piece of worthless shit vendor.
