This is what happened to Abacus and Archetyp ))) : Archetyp | Torhoo darknet markets

Third time trying to post this and hopefully this time gets published and it is not censored like in other subdreads

For those who think that Abacus has made Exit Scam simply take a few minutes to think. In any business the days with more customers are Mondays and Tuesdays, why someone would decide to do an Exit Scam in the middle of a Monday after many users reported that they could not make deposits and little after users could make deposits the site was completely offline? Anyone who would like to make a Exit Scam would leave the online website for another week and surely would receive a lot of deposits, especially considering that they have been the top market that long? Or why someone would come to make a post without bringing back the marketplace unless there was a bigger issue?

What happened then?

Without being able to confirm until where exactly, it has been the same as with Archetyp. LE did not find Marc a month ago, we were attacking his Clearnet Domains (it is funny that his "solution" to the ddos had no other result than to collect more evidence against him, facilitating things to the prosecutors) and hidden services for quite some time and it was in February 2023 when we had success with one of the many attacks that we were trying. A 0day in Tor together with a vulnerability in Linux, allowed partial access to the system and to certain parts such as hot wallets (Marc was spending enough money but taking into account that most of it was in XMR and that the market began when the XMR price was much lower, more than 4.5m of euros are missing. Can you imagine where those moneros went? ))) ). At this moment servers should have been seized showing a seizure notice but we did not have any response from several of their servers; which suggests that they were using FDE and decided to not touch them (that's your best bet because information that could lead to arrests could not be accessed)

Although we did not manage to collect direct information from users, anything we had has been sent to the police. We warned Abacus and Archetyp that the only option they had were to pay if they wanted to continue, they ignored our request and they have paid the price. Taking down two top marketplace in one month is not a bad outcome )))

Everyone who considers running a market as a quick way to earn money is deeply wrong, is the fastest way to end up in jail and losing all your savings. It does not matter if the market accepts only monero, no matter how many times the servers are rotated per month, if you use private guards or any additional protection. There is no anonymity in Tor, from the current active markets there are several that have already been identified and they are waiting for them to grow before seizing them. Other sites such as Dread are still active because LE want it, it is much better to have all cybercriminals centralized in the same place, let a couple of them remain free while doing the work of compiling information much easier and faster!

Surely for many Darknet users this will be a year to forget, for us it has been a complete success, last months had been very profitable for us and we will toast on you, hoping that there are more people who want to pursue the dream of being the next big boss administrator of the Darknet ))))

And thanks to the people who started that ddos attack on the tor network and Abacus recently, made our job much easier!

We do not care if you think all this is bullshit or not, you can continue risking your freedom when our paths cross again in some months. We will meet soon in the next bust, Cheers !! )))
