Operation Onymous v2 is happening

Evo = Agora = Blackbank = East India Company = AlphaBay = Middle Earth = Nucleus = Craigslist

All the markets are DDoSing their selves

Sheep Marketplace was a bigger operation than we thought it was.
Sheep was operated by an entire team of people, all of whom got a big chunk of the exit scam money. But we were only aware of the identity of one of them, and directed all of our attention towards him. He can't cause any trouble if he's on the run/in jail, right? Right, but that doesn't mean his partners can't.

Every market that has exit scammed has been operated by the same people that ran Sheep Marketplace, and they always put the blame on the "faces" of the marketplace in order to remain in the shadows. Atlantis, Evolution, Cannabis Road, possibly BlackBank, etc. have all been the exact same people swindling money out of the community. What do all of them have in common? Admins that use the facade of security to run off with the money, websites that operate faster than an anonymously-purchased offshore server should.
With all of the money earned from commission, you'd think there would be absolutely no need for any market to exit scam. But the former Sheep administrators are after much more than the money: they're after market manipulation. In danger of being arrested by their governments, officials are lining their pockets with Bitcoin and asking that the former admins manipulate its price so that the government officials can get rich, and so they can stay out of jail. It's true, I'm afraid: governments care more about money than about arresting people who break the law. The admins of Sheep essentially work for their governments, manipulating the price of Bitcoin whenever they're asked to, and making a ton of money on the side as a bonus.

Governments around the world have discovered the key to manipulating Bitcoin itself: the darknet markets. And they're using the former Sheep Administrators to do so. Which marketplace is a Sheep Marketplace right now? Who knows. Could be Nucleus, could be Agora, could be BlackBank, could be AlphaBay. All I know is: an exit scam is coming.

Justice Department Investigations recently discover 'cancelled' article from DNM's Weekly on USB drive in a backpack, mistakingly left at a White Castle in Boston last Friday. The DOJ and the magazine have refused to comment up to this point, but inside sources say "the wealth of information found will bring over 350 indictments of high ranking government officials" and continue to through the coming years as investigations continue. Speculation on the contents of the USB run wild. However, an anonymous source reveals that the main focus seems to be geared towards Illegal donations made to Hillary Clinton from a labyrinth of questionable online channels. "These internet drug dealers are funding our government," said one concerned citizen at a press conference Monday. President Obama has declined to comment so far, but as more names and info are retrieved and revealed we might see the largest unveiling of a government conspiracy to date.

I don't think that anything special is happening right now and all that we are seeing is exponential growth of the Darknet popularity which can't be sustained on the current TOR network.

No conspiracies, no new entities with special powers trying to take down the Darknet; it's the same game and has been the same game ever since SR1 and SR1's seizure. The only thing which has changed is the scale on which things happen today. The biggest force behind all these markets going down and being unreliable is the (ever growing) community itself.
