missing vendors: Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

Weird question but can I ask. Has anyone struggled to get comms from vendors they were using on Abacus or Archetyp. There was 2 vendors I was in communication with about various stuff every 2 or 3 days at most (sometimes every day). 1 went randomly radio silent about a week before archetyp went down. Another one that ive known for 5-6 years at least , we were mid comms about a situation (I'm being perpously ambiguous) and then BAM. He goes randomly radio silent 2 days before Abacus has seemed to go down.

It might just be a coincidence or both for good reason, I just wanted to know for sure this isnt a pattern anyone else has experienced.
They will probably come back after laying low for a bit amidst the Archetyp seizure...

Vendor i relied on for bulk orders i too am hunting down.
Every now and then this Arch BS happens and vendors scatter, some for good but most were already on the next best market vending already.
I am after 1 vendor now, i found the rest!

if you are insinuating Vendors got a heads up i very much doubt it.
Customers bring in all the money, why give vendors inside info.

Good look my friend...

No I'm insinuating that the LE operation extended to vendors this time as well as Market staff. Buy then again it could just be sheer coincidence. I dont know yet

Buyers who used market encryption instead of peer to peer are at the top of the list and as it should be, ALWAYS use your own PGP key
Vendors are as bait as they move but market bosses do interact heavily with the BIG vendors, always have.

Visit the ⚠️Superlist⚠️ and compare markets for yourself.

Asking this question will get only subjective answers and shills pushing certain markets.

You will get as many answers as there are markets.

than unprepared

when theres instability in the darknet, vendors will wait until the water calms. Especially a bust, its best to take opsec break, and taking huge losses last thing you wanna do is move markets and it exits

Makes sense. It's just weird , ine if them has been around since WHM (or before), on good talking terms with him and we were littlerly in the middle of organising something and he just went radio silent half way through the discussion. If he was going to do that you'd think he'd at least wrap up what he was saying via dredd or something (which we also chat on).

Maybe I'm being paranoid, its weird. Just not like him

A well known Australian vendor exit scammed (got me for nearly $1000 >_<) a week or 2 before Archetyp was seized. I was thinking about the timing of it all, I suspect a number of the bigger vendors knew this was coming. I also have a suspicion that a number of the bigger and trusted vendors are the same person or small group of people. A number of these vendors use the exact same stealth techniques, exactly the same and seem to sell the same type of products. Just different branding,

I think there's a lot that happens behind the scenes that we have no idea about.

It's a corrupt world, why would a DNM be any different.

You are correct in that all the people who sell on the dark web in Australia are connected as they all have the same supply chain which is why they sell the same products with a little different branding between them. They also have largely the same people packing teams and methods
