Vendor Ketamelon Case : Megathread : DarknetMarketsIndia | Torhoo darknet markets

well listen guys, most of the opsec that is in the bible is invalid in india, getting a dead drop in india is almost impossible. Postman knows all the address and is always familiar with property owners and without personal details nobody rents out a place unless involved in the activity.

Indians even white collars ones have a nose for smelling something fishy out we live in a country where we have to survive on daily basis so our radar system is always on high alert.

Also our IDs and other Important data is correlated adding your adhar will provide all the details.

Getting dead drops outside of few major towns is not possible, and everybody knows everybody.

Its not America or EU where we can have anonymous drops and grab a burner and working fake IDs to rent.

Even there its difficult case in point JOHN from TMG was caught with drugs and weapons at his living place.

You need a major operation with many people in it something like Gammagoblin, to evade LE and that's not gonna happen here in india even the criminals are not that professional here.

Don't peddle drugs in real life or hang around users old mates, very important to have a active productive life IRL.

Also I have observed one thing vendors are greedy here they don't go on vacations at all, if you noticed from back in the day 2 OG vendors you know who used to be on breaks every few month.

Its important to lay low for few weeks or a month after vending to let things cool off its a fundamental part of doing anything illegal, I have not seen a vendor in india taking a break from vending as long as they have the goods.

Greed often leads to disaster.

Also don't fucking use the same post office more than once 3 weeks, even small towns have 10s of them and Melon operated from or near kochi so he should have used all post office possible don't be lazy, travel an hour or so out to drop your packages.

Also don't keep all your money with you keep the hardware wallet in locker incase you get caught your family will have access to it and will help with long court case.

So many things I can point but most important is taking a break from illegal activities is most important, LE is not gonna sit around watch you daily when you are not doing anything for 20-30 days.

I never saw melon on vacation in the last 4-5 months, even other vendors are non stop printing money, suggest all of them to chill the fuck out, no amount of money is worth your freedom and life.

From a users perspective DAR KA MAHOL HAI...

from the news perspective DESH SANKAT ME HAI....

from the LE perspective PAISA HI PAISA HOGA

They (LE) had already blown the trumpet they will not tolerate and will make this country addiction free/drug mukt & lavda lasun before 2028.

Its hypocrisy we export opiate & many other precursor to goras cheers to that for revenue benefits to gov. and alcohol is blooming business for them and these bust are cherry(VENDORS two balls) on the cake.

On top of it we have to now witness a vendor who survived 2y however lost the track and thought could gamble safely like how just stereotypes comes ordering Int " ITS JUST A PAPER IT WILL PASS " but why these vendor doesn't understand once these blots enters our country and if caught LE claims they found nuclear weapons or RDX or next level thing and they have saved our nation and our lives & we don't THANK them for that AT ALL, Nein MFs!!

Basically its a complete stupidity as a vendor choosing the operation in S part of country when everyone knows all LE get orgasam in getting such busts done and tighten their collar skyhigh.

why didn't they keep the stocks rotating, i dont wanna mention there are ways & means well written still we are witnessing such a dark spectrum of a vendor where users info is saved as a data to use for his backup if caught to get some less sentence???

and I'm not able to digest why he didn't erase it !

It looks like every vendor since 2-3 years is watching on 2x speed HOW TO SELL DRUGS on Netflix & skipping some episodes where they explain on opsec's importance.
in nutshell till the time he was active was a promising vendor, the bust happened things are revealed it looks like we are on darknet but vendors are still acting like STREET PEDDLERS.

Mr Walter white has left no scope in advising to users and vendors YO bitch mr White from Jessy lol..

My single piece of advice to users its going to be tough time ahead till 2027, its not good to deal here when you dont have fake drop and know importance to keep changing wallets and follow opsec end to end, if buying for self purpose then better to buy from street Hand to hand in cash, you may end up pay some premium but better than caught here a made a name in criminal chargesheet, . Be alert on the street there too you need to be street smart as well.

My tight hammer 🔨 request to vendors
Dont shill out and do shenanigans in IRL be a saint guy never ever spill you deal on DN !
Have a team, rotate shipping location, change packaging styles, operate on tails never save user data for timeframe more than its packed or max its shipped, better not to go and save it digital we still get paper and i believe you all know to write A B C.
Have a cooling period from the Q4M2 till Q1M3.
Do check in past the same timeframe has always been hot in terms of busts.
And never keep operating by keeping goods below your ass, operate remotely dont have romance with the stash.

I pray Ket gets a minimum sentence or bail & for users who bought in all his tenure clean wipe if they really got the data & as i said if you have used real id and drop, consider cleaning it and stay sober till this is not settled atleast 3+ months stay away from keeping any stash with you.

Please dont underestimate the power of LE, you need to have a big backup if you're caught, i pray it should never happen to anyone and good time should come soon vendor should evolve and we should step up as they have acess to these platforms details means they are reading this, the only advantage we have is population is huge so its gamble honestly follow opsec so tight they should giveup & assume nothing is getting sold anymore DRISHYAM 🙏

There are indeed no plea deals in the Indian judicial system. Pigs try their luck with the culprits saying tell me who all you sold to/bought from, tell us everything and we'll take it easy on you. And the dumbassess buy that shit and start yapping. Keeping records of your sales and customers info is just making things worse for yourself. Word of advice - KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND DONT INCRIMINATE YOURSELF ANY FURTHER. By giving up everything to these pigs you're not only digging a deeper grave for yourself, you're also digging someone else's beside you. Pigs aren't your friends.

Idk why vendors like to keep logs of addresses and info of their customers. It's something I never understood. Is it so they think by giving this info to pigs they'll somehow get leniency or Is it like how serial killers collect trophys they collect buyer info? Lol. Jokes aside in India at least it's dumb to keep that information. It only adds to their case.

I hope vendors finally understand why some of us keep going off here about opsec, and how important it is.

Let's all hope we can learn and grow from this, and we don't see another headline like this anytime soon. Stay safe, stay sharp.

"On a long enough timeline the survival rate of every Indian vendor who uses tracked shipping reaches 0" bust is bound to happen
We don't have anonymous shipping methods like in other countries where we can go and buy tracked shipping lables
To generate a tracked shipping lable the vendor has to visit the post office with enough vigilance he can find few post office's without CCTV but what about the CCTV in the next few buildings / street of postoffice ? How can you dodge that? So any vendor who is doing tracked shipping will be busted sooner or later
Cops just need to do few hours of hard work!

About the news which you posted the only thing that I trust about it is ketamelon got busted apart from that who when where he was busted is just propaganda

I feel someone snitched on him or the LE itself has ordered from him reverse engineered the address from tracking data.

The news says since a month they were observing the house and even planned to take nearby house for rent, they were waiting for a new order to come.

Its best to use multiple post offices and services for delivery and receiving consignment.

I deeply saddened by this news ! My G Ketamelon fast , professional, no-nosense vendorwith beautiful crystals. DNM will miss you man ! wish him love and strength <3

Ordering to your home address, especially being a vendor is just calling for trouble. You can never be safe when you mess up the first few steps of being safe. Hope everyone cleaned house and wiped all traces. The pigs will still come for you and trouble you, that's what they do in India. Your name and address is enough for them to knock on your door or take you in for questioning. Human rights & plausible deniability doesn't exist in India. Hope everyone stays safe.
