What do people make of a multiple reputable vendors being shady, exit scamming, etc. in the weeks leading up to Arch's seizure? : CafeDread

Your last point -of a handful of big vendors going MIA in the last days- aligns with LE busting some German and Swedes vendors.

Do you have an explicit list of which vendors you noticed missing? Would be good to have an idea of who to avoid.

that tells us they may have applied the same tactics of impersonating bigboss to vendors accounts they busted.
If they impersonate Boss who else can they impersonate?
you are not the first person to notice this either so it means your gut instinct is on to something.

Responded to you in my other thread, but yes I find the timing of this extremely odd and a bit scary. It's one thing if this was a one or two-off, but it appears to be noticeably more widespread than that, and all within a very close amount of time to Arch's seizure. Truly wonder which vendors have been compromised in the past few weeks.

Also will note that some of these vendors are in the US -- the majority of the drama and seizures appears to be happening in Europe. I'm sure the US is involved in all this to some extent, but yeah. Whole thing is fucking weird.

The creator of this thread is saying that these vendors disappeared BEFORE it was public knowledge that Archetyp was seized

If you look at the meta data on the operation deepsentinel video. You will find the video was made June 2nd. Meaning big boss was potentially compromised for a lot longer than we think.

My theory is that whoisteam is LEO and the DDOS was a ruse to explain the downtime as the servers were being migrated into LE custody.

Let me stop plotting my trip to the giant ice wall. I think they either:

1) exactly who they said they were
2) LE trying to extort the market because they knew a bust was coming
3) Some random person who made a lot of very accurate predictions

There's a lot of vendors who were actually LEO, or had LE connections is what I think.

LE wouldn't ship drugs without a controlled delivery unless you live in Honduras of course from 2014-2022. LE in Europe did arrest a lot of people in connection with markets like a month ago. There is a lot of news stories about it. It's likely a lot of them cooperated and gave LE access to their accounts.

not sure how credible it is but I read about a guy on reddit who went to prison, they got him somehow just for the seized packages. There were like MULTIPLE though... probably a dozen or more.

wouldn't surprise me if they ship then seize. you gotta remember, we're talking about the same DEA that had the ATF running guns for the sinaloa cartel, made a deal with them in federal; court to specifically only target their adversaries, and even allowed banks to launder their drug money. and they openly admit all of this.... They're not exactly "ethical" people.

if they did it in honduras, what makes you think they wouldn't do it here?

it's verified (or at least i had multiple people tell me, maybe not the same thing as "verified") that raveheart sold their account to someone who took a bunch of FE orders & sent nothing - i got scammed along with many others - about 3 weeks before the bust. was he tipped off? was the scammer he sold the account to actually LE? interested if anyone has any info on this

I was scammed by this fucking piece of shit too. Can you share anything you've seen (Dread posts, etc.) confirming he sold his account? If it's just anecdotal and you want to PM me, I'd be curious. My pgp info is in my profile. Just curious what happened with RH because it clearly blew up at the end, I remember the stream of 0/5 SCAM reviews on Arch before it bit the dust.

Such a shame, that dude truly had my favorite K, and I've tried quite a lot. Special product. But yeah he was an enormous fucking pain the last 2 months or so. Meanwhile I had a RD order that was accepted but not shipped on Arch, given he hasn't shown face on Dread I'm assuming I just need to take the L on that as well. Back to back string of difficult K vendor experiences, is the universe trying to tell me something?

all the info i had i received in DMs on archetyp, unfortunately. but i heard it from multiple sources, one of whom had been in contact with the (real) raveheart for several months. i don't remember the username, sorry.my guess is he'll resurface under another name selling the same products

What can you do? Just keep your opsec on point. I have seen several reminders on this today. Read all those and make sure you are still on point
