Can someone redpill me on AlphaBay before it was shut down? How exactly were people able to buy drugs on the internet without being cop'd?

>> No.4002686

encrypt your address with pgp so only the shady criminal syndicates can see it and not the cops

By not being fucking retarded

Bitcoin through a bitcoin tumbler to prevent backtracking the payment, and sending sensitive information with PGP encryption. There's no way to crack that even if they have all the BTC records and encrypted messages

Still can be done to this day

how would you get drugs delivered to you, tho? surely you can't give an address and some sketchy guy delivers the dr00gs to your address, right?

>> No.4002760

>>4002733

the vendor sends them in the mail like anything else, many drugs are virtually undetectable in the mail (lsd for example). they use air-tight packing for shit that smells

how often do buttcoin tumbling stores get shut down?

the mailman delivers it, not some sketchy d00d. I don't think this is neccessary(because unless the cops know you sent it, you can't be held liable and you can just lie), but you could always mail it to your neighbour and if youre ultra paranoid pay a kid to check the mail before him every day.

Bitcoin wasn't anon enough. Criminals are now flocking to the top anon coins: Monero and Verge. And the marketplaces are becoming decentralized and peer to peer. Open Bazzar is leading the way.

Tor, PGP, tumblrs. The admin was had terrible op sec, his email was found out, and they confirmed Bitcoin transactions going from AB to his bank account.

*Monero and Zen. Everyone dumped their Verge bags after the dev refused to prove that Wraith exists.
