regarding abacus i found a suspicious transaction : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

Some single vendors would have that in escrow alone no one is exit scamming over $230k, deposits and withdrawals where working roughly 7 hours ago when the site did come back online for a period. We received our withdrawal, the marketnet funds are most likely being pooled into wallets under their control while the site is being fixed before being distributed again.

My withdraw I made the day before they shut down never came through. Its a scam

Hey, yeah, I dunno how all this works but I tried to withdraw BTC some hours ago and it has ended up at the same address as yours in the same transaction

Thats called clearing an RPC wallet out. Withdraw all

to begin, you have WAY too much time on your hands,
for two, this is obviously a vendor's wallet not a mod or something. if this was an exit scam wallet it would have a lot more $$ in it.
for three, if this was an exit scam the site would still be accessible and letting you put more $$ in but not letting you take it out
for four, STOP SPREADING FUD, youre scaring the newbies

Pleaseeee stop using btc on markets

mods delete if not allowed just wanted to share

Not looking good is it?

Dayum that's a juicy find.

ruh roh

i dont think they use a single wallet for each user, i guess its their market wallet ?

yeah its not looking good ........ at all

It was a good run 2.0

Yep, I wanted to withdraw my 40 euros and I did it yesterday 24 hours have passed and nothing happened. They most likely exit-scammed, what a bummer.

imagine exit scamming for 230k

This appears it may be bad assuming this post is correct.

May I ask how far down your deposit address was from the one you gave? You could be right in that this is a dire sign but a few things to note:

* Their BTC wallets are probably still working and moving funds around even though the site is down.
* Don't really know what their wallet strategy is, this could very well be funds moves to cold wallet as part of normal ops. I imagine most markets will put as much coin as possible into a cold wallet to protect it. This might be why their withdrawals take as long as they take - they have min funds on hot wallets.

I poked around some of the source funds for that wallet and it was kind of strange. Either most people are sending coin directly from an exhange or large pool of coin to the market or this are internal wallets used by market. Its definitely clear that the input funds aren't probably the deposit addresses from users. Almost all of those transactions will have 1 or 2 outputs depending if a change address is needed.

Here's an example, one of the input addresses from one you gave is this: bc1quf42zc76n0eq5t5wws8yfw9hmmy8jve2a2qmt0

That address received coin as part of another large set of transactions - maybe from an exchange? But when it gets sent to the address you provided, it is one of many inputs. So I guess that could mean people are sending coins directly from an exchange to the market. Or these are internal wallets to the market shuffling coins around. I thought a lot of times when LE had seized a market and moved coin to their own wallet, they tended to do so in one large transaction. yes, $250K is a decent amount of money but I can't imagine its the entire market's BTC wallet? Maybe less people use BTC than I imagine but I would have expected there to be millions of dollars worth.

I guess the big question is does the BTC address you give transact later? Or does it sit there. The address you gave was from 881 different inputs/addresses. So yeah, def consolidation of wallets in some way. Basically I guess what I'm saying is that it doesn't necessarily mean something bad. The fact that the mkt is done is concerning. But I don't know if abacus had a history of going down for extended periods of time (meaning many hours). Archetyp was rarely down and def got spoiled by that. I don't have enough insight into abacus to know if this happens.

Its strange that deposits weren't working yesterday, but then started to work. Some vendors have confirmed getting coin out earlier today. Others still waiting. Maybe they are really getting hit hard with DDOS. Maybe something else. Hopefully its not worst case scenario.

its over already lol d4rkode 2.0. Not a $230k exit either, I know there's WAY more than that in btc let alone XMR.

I'm running across the street to buy some fetty, fuck this

imagine if someone hacked abacus and redirected all funds to their own wallet

could have happened its not unheard of

hope u all get ur moneys and dont do drugs kiddys

We wuz need my dose of amphetamines and shieeet

If Abacus pulled an exit scam for real, then they are dirty nigger scum in my book.

I've been trying to login since over 17-18 PM till now, i still can't.

yeah its an exit scam you people clearly don't remember the empire market exit

They are hacked by the same Group that crack the hot wallet of Monopoly and Empire market.

I doubt it's an exit. It's too soon after the bust of one of the biggest competitors, that would’ve had much more fresh cash rolling in over the next several weeks.

i had something similar except my money actually got deposited

I think they realized that now that the #1 was taken down, all of those resources were now going to be focused on them. 11 federal agencies were involved in this take down. That's 11 agencies that now are going to focus all of their DNM resources on them now. It's like when Bin Laden was killed, the #2 on the FBI most wanted was caught within barely a month.

I think they saw the writing on the wall and quit while they were ahead. Who knows, maybe LE contacted the admins directly and showed them they knew who they were? We'll never know but as much as it sucks for those that lost money, it was probably smart on their end. The era of the DNM is over. The agency cooperation is unprecedented, it's not worth it. The kids are on telegram, signal, whatever. It doesn't seem like TOR is so secure if 11 government agencies want you taken down. And that's only the 11 that want credit. You don't see the NSA on there seized website or youtube video. This is such an incredibly well rolled out seizure. They posted a fucking narrative youtube video on the take down. They're on top of it now.

That said, where are people going now?

Seen this pattern before. Could be liquidity reshuffle or backend wallet migration during maintenance, especially if site devs are trying to consolidate after Archetyp fallout. Wouldn’t jump to exit scam yet, not unless we start seeing funds blocked across multiple vendors and listings pulled silently. The 230k could be a vendor escrow dump or internal sweep to cold. Still keeping an eye out though, timing is sketchy as hell.

what is going on with Abacus Btc deposits? i guess i got robbed? its been 2 days and 20+ confirmations, sent ticket, and messaged mods... no response n still no balance. now i can even log in WTF is going on Abacus! please fix this issue.... a exit scam would be silly on their end when there is much more $ out there....smh

can someone send me a working abacus market link please. i need to check my ketamine order....

bro i a spending around the sand ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

Abacus busted too?

not sure if this is relevant, but I kept getting kicked off the site yesterday with it accusing me of bot behavior, so maybe something DDOS related? I've only used the site for a couple of weeks but never had it do that to me before. assuming it's got something to do with the site cracking down at the moment but I'm no expert

yeah i withdrawled 40 some bucks little less then a week ago, it never arrived.

Anyone that thinks they're gonna exit scam over only $237k needs to lay off the crack lol

Anyone experiencing this with XMR?
In the span of 2 days, I managed to get some trust in Abacus (I'm one of thousands of Archetype refugees)
Then 3 smallish orders actually arrived and around 12h ago I deposited XMR again and over 230 confirmations I got a little panicked submitted a ticket, then much more scared after digging into what's going on here.
I got the same deposit address I received immediately after my last one went through, so I'm a little bit lost now.
If anyone else using XMR have been given the following address to deposit, well then enjoy being fucked in the ass. Takes some time to get used to for some, others start loving it right away... :))

IF YOU GOT THE SAME DEPOSIT ADDRESS AS ABOVE BE HIGHLY CONCERNED!!

We all are fucking tired and mad and angry but the mass hysteria going on because of that, might actually be causing more problems.
I'm holding on to the last slimmer of hope inside of me, my gut feeling from moving markets over the years is giving me VERY intense anxiety and grounds for concern...

So the website has been down? I haven't been able to access it all week and my thread got responded to saying "just keep trying". It never loads for me.

that wallet has 404 dollars in it and hasnt had a transaction in half a month u sure u put the right wallet ? bc1qmddukvs4867g9r755z0q70stfteqqn20j6f86e

$237gs, bro must have ran out of TP.
Archetyp when seized had $12.5mil (if I remember correctly)

I wish i own any bitcoin to perform dusting attack. not going to spend the monies and effort to buy some just to track them

My man is now a darkweb informant: mifengcha[.]com/news/68642c8b5c8dbe00115f6902

Online drugs marketplace Abacus Market has either been seized by US authorities or is performing an exit scam on its users following questionable bitcoin (BTC) transfers, according to Darkweb Informer.

This is why as a bulk buyer/offline "road" reseller i buy BULK BULK BULK.
I dearly hope for every ones sake it's innocent but i doubt Abacus wants to be the next focus being in the unwanted top spot, maybe their infrastructure wasn't built for such an influx of new users
Me? If...If this an exit/bust then i'm am the luckiest nigga alive people.
Never used Abacus until Past Sunday and only because a vendor i use for bulk Pharma was on there and i'd used them till the end of arch.
It wasn't too big an order, 2k £ but my man did his thing and its just landed ndd.
Not low key bragging just the truth.
But even then it was a nightmare to order in respect to all mirrors down then 30 minutes later i was back on with new balance.
...gotta admit sending 2k to a new address/market had me slightly nervous.

But yh, a lot of unlucky people, i been here on Tor since SR, lost money few times over the years so i feel your pain.
I'd like to pay him as it was Escrow so he lost more than just mine IF its gone so 100% if you can at least pay half then you both lost the same amount.
Chin up lads...

wow that is suspicious but not a smoking gun as during a time of maintenance hopefully all funds are moved for protection and not exit scamming. please all fingers crossed here

Id exit scam at 100k. Run a market for a month n bounce. Fuck y'all addicts.
