Consistency's disappearance prompts this inquiry.
When a vendor is compromised, how does LE go about pursuing customers that have current orders with that vendor? Does LE find a way to get the password to the vendor's PGP private key?
Like in the instance of XanaxKing, there were the reports that LE acted as XK to get customers to resend their address. Did they already flip XK (meaning got his Agora and PGP passwords) then customers re-sent, and then LE could then decrypt and pursue? Thank you for any insight my brothers of the dark.

I believe LE took control of the account, but changed the PGP key. Whether or not that's because they simply couldn't find the original private key or it's standard protocol remains a mystery.
