Stay safe ya'll
Takes me back before the time I tied an onion to my belt and we called that kind of thing 'spyware' (which was the style at the time)
At this stage, I consider using blatant Govware 12+ years post-Snowden as criminally neglectful to the point that people should get extra time on top of their sentence for being *"criminally stupid"*...
Windows Recall is just them upselling the features of *"Magic Lantern"* and *"Carnivore"* Govware as features - kinda how Valve managed to upsell an Online - DRM [Steam] as a feature so hard, Devs get bullied and harrassed if they don't want to publish on said store that cashes in 30% gross sales revenue (!) aka. before (!!) taxes (!!!)...
Let the *"Tech Illiterates"* die out for good - they chose to be ignorant and accept the Enshittification!

OpSec is and will always remain imperative to operating on the Dark Web, regardless of who is watching or coming for you.
The best solution is more trusted individuals hosting more services and providing anchoring to the community. Maybe not more shit tier markets and redundant forums; but link resources, git servers, key repositories, unique ideas to get more funding to the things that matter (the reliability of the Tor network is a pretty good one /post/ca0360fe2071d94ef4d5), technical/OPSEC education to the millions of scrubs that come here, and so many more useful, boring things. There is little diversification of trust in the DN community, and I worry if you and Paris get knocked out, even if your deadman's switch works, there's going to be a shitshow that'll ensue of who gets to keep grandpa's money. I don't know how much I trust a market owner or some moderator of some major sub to make something to fill a gap left by Dread. BTW a friendly reminder to check your deadman's switch procedures. Anything you forgot to do? Did you pay the server bill? Maybe the carrier pidgin holding the dread source code USB drive needs to be refamiliarized with the route? (to what I assume is the strip club /u/dontlaugh dances at)
For Daunt I think it's an awful existence to know as a child that your parents are just waiting for the day they kill you :-( poor guy.
Darknetlive in the other hand tho....
Most of the buyers will be fine. Especially if proper opsec was used.
Also, I have a pet theory that CZ's relatively short sentence is related to him allowing the feds access to Binance's backend to conduct parallel construction in reverse-engineering transactions. I have no evidence of this, but the feds have done this before at a much smaller scale and is their preferred way of crypto attribution because everyone except the one judge in SDNY seems to be entirely aware that chainanalysis is bullshit.
These guys work hand and hand with cartels. They don't bust people to stop it. They bust people to keep their jobs and show that they're "making progress"
Oh and they are doing more than that. They are effectively actively creating crime in order to appear occupied. Vice is already a bullshit social construct (even comparing attitudes and laws towards it between 1650 and 1750 and 1850 in the UK and you can see how wildly different the conceptualization can become in the same place) and to criminalize it is truly vile. The craziest thing is that they don't care that their own inspector general issues reports about their wrongdoing. they did kind of slow walk the money laundering report so that it dropped during the first month or two of the lockdown, but like, pretty much all LE air-ed out their dirty laundry at that time if by law they were required to do so, like Wisconsin disclosing that they were more or less charging kids for trafficking themselves and really don't have a sex trafficking problem (https://www.doj.state.wi.us/sites/default/files/ocvs/human%20trafficking/5%20Key%20Takaways%20Assessment2020.pdf for summary, https://www.doj.state.wi.us/sites/default/files/ocvs/human%20trafficking/2019%20Law%20Enforcement%20Assessment%20of%20Sex%20Trafficking%20in%20Wisconsin%20-%20Final%20Report.pdf for the whole thing). Metadata says that the report was finished in January and it dropped conveniently the day after the NBA cancelled games and everything ground to a halt. What a coincidence, right?
The DEA arguably had even more damning reports drop at pretty much the same time. https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/a20071.pdf and https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/21-109.pdf basically both show that taxpayer money ends up paying for cartel operations and the DEA either are in on it or are grossly incompetent. And tried to cover up shit when it goes wrong. That's just part of the culture at the agency at this point. Your tax dollars are paying for birthday parties, and they dgaf. https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/23-019.pdf. I don't think they even really care about the appearance of making progress since it's widely acknowledged that the war on drugs have failed but the DEA isn't going away any time soon, is it? If they feel threatened, they'd do a better job covering up. They have the capabilities, they just. don't. give. a. fuck.
did they find a rasberry pi shoved up his ass at the airport with his key on it or something?
curious what was d comment?

A good market in fact !
But sending himself a plan of how running a marketplace to his personal email...
Well... A good market can be host by a bad opsec guy.
Never trust the auto encrypted PGP market !!!!

Well, if so congratulations. This is the outcome we all could of hoped for (or he get beat up to an inch of his life).
In this case I did consider it, but ultimately I let it go when he didn't follow through on the data leaks. The funny part is that while facing the possibility of his dox being leaked, his ego told him he was going to be fine.
For anyone interested, to pre-face it, I was looking for someone with some sort of NFT activity as a confirmation, the site screamed "I have an NFT collection". After the extortion started I was digging through his posts and his past usernames, there was nothing that stood out to link to anyone other than the same username being used in the past and some details for it being part of past database leaks, none of it was useful and I didn't believe that to be the same person. I then came across a comment where he listed XMR nodes, I overlooked it at first, but then remembered him mentioning he runs multiple XMR nodes and Tor relays, so I went back to that comment. One of the XMR nodes he listed, I actually recognized, maybe from one of Thotbot's lists, but there was another I didn't recognize so thought I'd look it up. It wasn't in any of the public lists I checked, so when searching online I found it listed on a public node list hosted by our friend here Rui on his personal website, along with the first one that I recognized and 1 or 2 more. I thought, he can't be this stupid to share his own nodes like this... his site made me believe instantly that this is him (NFTs, Gitbub repo with a PoW DoS protection fork) , the only doubts I had were that it was too easy and maybe I was focusing on the NFT thing too much and then him just denying it.
Now its confirmed, I should have felt more confident in it and pushed it with him, but I don't think it could have changed much knowing what we know now.
Several examples of where he sent market BTC funds to a swap service like changelly to receive XMR of say 305 XMR. Then sent 305 XMR to cash out at Binance within the hour - probably shortly after 10 confirms.
All round terrible opsec.
The fact that he was working with law enforcement sure must be embarassing for them - but I guess now they know the guy did know what he was talking about when it came to darknet markets... lol
One of the most elementary mistakes imaginable, it's a shitty miracle that indgo lasted as long as it did with him at the helm.
That's impressive you tracked his ID down man. Must admit I suspected you would say you had :)
Pretty clear evidence of his spending BTC from Incognito -> own wallet -> Namecheap for his personal domain.
Servers imaged years earlier so they were going to get him eventually with blockchain analysis.
DUDE IS SOOOOO FUCKED. They going to give him life ..
The Americans are so mind-bogglingly arrogant, that they have given themselves the right to ban people flying from the UK to other countries, e.g. Canada, Cuba, the Carribean, etc. The following article is over a dozen years old, yet I believe it is still accurate.
Planning a trip to Canada or the Caribbean? US Immigration may have other ideas...
New security checks are already in place – even for flights hundreds of miles from American airspace
Simon Calder
Sunday 25 March 2012 22:10 BST
One million British travellers planning to fly to Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico this year face the risk of being turned away at the airport – at the insistence of the US Department of Homeland Security.
New rules require British Airways and other airlines flying to certain airports outside America to submit passengers' personal data to US authorities. The information is checked against a "No Fly" list containing tens of thousands of names. Even if the flight plan steers well clear of US territory, travellers whom the Americans regard as suspicious will be denied boarding.
Simon Hughes, the deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats, told The Independent: "The concern by the US for its own security is entirely understandable, but it seems to me it's a whole different issue that American wishes should determine the rights and choices of people travelling between two countries neither of which is the US."
For several years, every US-bound passenger has had to provide Advance Passenger Information (API) before departure. Washington has extended the obligation to air routes that over-fly US airspace, such as Heathrow to Mexico City or Gatwick to Havana.
Now the US is demanding passengers' full names, dates of birth and gender from airlines, at least 72 hour before departure from the UK to Canada. The initial requirement is for flights to Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and the Nova Scotia capital, Halifax – 150 miles from the nearest US territory. A similar stipulation is expected soon for the main airports in western Canada, Vancouver and Calgary.
Any passenger who refuses to comply will be denied boarding. Those who do supply details may find their trip could be abruptly cancelled by the Department of Homeland Security, which says it will "ake boarding pass determinations up until the time a flight leaves the gate ... If a passenger successfully obtains a boarding pass, his/her name is not on the No Fly list." In other words, travellers cannot find out whether they will be accepted on board until they reach the airport.
Canadian Affair, the leading charter operator between Britain and Canada, began supplying the data a week ago and 13,500 of its clients have complied with the demands. None has so far refused to provide the information and no one has been refused boarding.
Air Canada and British said they would comply with any new rules and The Independent understands that they will join the scheme in April. Flights to Mexico and Cuba - the Caribbean island closest to the US – are also included.
The US will have full details of all British visitors to Cuba, including business travellers, which could potentially be used to identify people suspected of breaking America's draconian sanctions against the Castro regime.
Neil Taylor, a tour operator who pioneered tourism to Cuba, said: "Imagine if the Chinese were to ask for such data on all passengers to Taiwan, and similarly if the Saudis were to ask about flights to Israel – would the US government understand?
"One also has to wonder how an American traveller in Europe would react if he were denied boarding on a flight from London to Rome because the German government had not received sufficient data from him."
Tony Wheeler, founder of Lonely Planet travel guides, said "This extension of the rule to include flights that never enter US airspace is scarcely credible. What on earth right does the US have to ask for passenger information if you're flying London-Havana?"
NOW BOARDING: WHO IS AFFECTED?
725,000: Number of British visitors to Canada each year. Airports affected: Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax
300,000: Number of British visitors to Mexico each year. Airports affected: Mexico City and Cancun
160,000: Number of British visitors to Cuba each year. Airports affected: Havana, Varadero and Holguin
Everybody remembers Ross Ulbricht, right?
Who?
Anyway he'll get raped in prison 100%
In other words, he isnt gonna be able to say "oh i just wanted to help the people and give them the freedom to buy what they want" ... nah, in the end he fucked over the same people he was allegedly helping.
Then has the audacity to threaten extortion of the sites members..
Dude made a lot of enemies rather quick.
Yeah he's totally getting action in prison.
I heard there's pussy in prison, just smells like shit..

he got what he deserved. stupidity in its finest.
If you ever gave your personal info to any party that received Bitcoin, and that party would cooperate with law enforcement, they can get your personal information.

So ill cross reference stuff on clear net to see what's out there on this POS but didn't feel alarm with PGP (gpg) encrypted communication etc.
I made sure the messages were deleted. Am I still screwed ?
Nothing crazy and that happened months ago.
All other sensitive datas were encrypted.
