Now finally we can get the other side of the story : AlphaBay | Torhoo darknet markets
If any AB mods are still in the house I am sure that everyone would love to know the current status from your perspective. I called alphaguard and he sent me to voicemail. JK
Am I not supposed to be biased? Well too bad because you guys treated me well before the canary expire and I want my AB back.
thecypriot was closing down disputes left and right in favour of the market, while banning vendors, and i assume taking their funds
this is all planned, and they're only acting confused, acted confused, to prolong the inevitable. this is nothing more than an more elaborate exit scam
i had a few disputes, since i assume the vendors caught onto this before me. they banned the vendors i had disputes with, then ended them 100% in the markets favor
Didn't realize that this was happening to others as well. That's why dread is such a crucial tool these days. Sucks they were down for so long. Was getting orders fulfilled till the end though. They played it so fucking sneaky if there was a way check if they were legit they would still be up. Pig shit cunts. Rip in your server room tomb in Turkey /u/DeSnake
You know hearing all of this actually makes me think it's less likely it was an exit scam. Sounds like to me TheCypriot was waiting for DeSnake to sign the canary like everyone else and at some point he said "fuck it he's not coming back i'm going to be a piece of shit and take all the coins I can" it just doesn't seem coordinated or planned in any way to me, I made a new account when it started made a deposit placed an order and was able to cancel and withdraw my coins a few days later, as was everyone else without 2FA
when did the canary expire? recently right? this started happening to me in october 2022, i think
did you do it as buyer? i also seem to recall that i might have withdrew some leftover amount. maybe they let buyers deposit and withdraw, and only fucked with vendors and disputes. like i said, elaborate exit scam
dude was also not responding to any message. He literally closed down the dispute without any comment or explanation. That's malicious not accidental.
it's a smart tactic. leave the small fish alone, they will all praise AB and say how it works, while fucking over the larger vendors, who are a minority, while being a financial majority
The exact same thing was happening on Dream Market 3-4 months before it was closed / gone for good.
The admins/mods were taking over random vendor accounts and any open disputes were closed and awarded to the vendor. No idea if this was the main admins doing this or a few moderators who had market permissions to do this knowing the inevitable shutdown was coming.
Does anyone remember Mr. White from White House Market? Dude sort of came across as an asshole which made it all the more surprising when he closed down the largest market at the time without exit scamming. Mr. White, if you're watching, kudos for leaving with your integrity still intact! People like you are rare
There are a surprising number of people with good character on the dn. Who remembers monopoly official posting for two weeks following the closure of monopoly market that he would prove everyone wrong and have the last laugh when they reopened?
Agreed, we have limited time and have to appreciate what we are given. Subdreads associated with dnm's are so helpful to members. How wonderful to be back again.
I did not realize that was actually you. I definitely am planning on watching your other youtube videos. Great job! Benzo memory at work but you said something in the first 15 minutes that had me laughing, will edit when I remember it.
Ah, probably about using sex offenders addresses for my packs to customers on the DNMs. ;)
I have met a ton of really cool people by having that channel. I think youtube oddly enough is one of the most positive social media platforms that I have seen in regards to content creation.
I digress. It would be great to have someone who is the real deal on there.
That was it!!!! OMG what a funny, fantastic, and clever idea. I have been told by some vendors how they choose a return address but none of them touched yours. Just brilliant!
Because you released it publicly I am sure that others too will adopt it. It is scary when you search how many sex offenders live near me, practically phone book size.
Just like there are retirement communities I imagine a point when sex offender communities become a reality where they don't have to worry about neighbors knowing what they did.
more than likely, whoever the main person or group is prolly gave up due to all the attacks and said "FUCK IT" and left it so peope could deposit like morons to find out nothing was gonna happen since the 2fa part wasnt working anymore. if it does come back, it will prolly be a long long fucking time due to everything thats been going on
I doubt that they gave up due to attacks. Regular customers and vendors had private links and easy access and the 2-fa lockout happened before and they fixed it. This was probably something happened to Desnake or he decided to slither away with the funds.
i had an open ticket on a large missing deposit that was escalated through each of the admin team until it was finally escalated to desnake himself who didnt respond at all
sad :( I come back after a few months and this happens lol not suprised tbh dude seemed way to friendly, like why in the hell would he bother to respond to my private message dude was just a con all along to be honest
