So for anyone who is unclear on the whole info and story here is what
i have gathered, this is also for anyone who might have been left in
the dark after his unusual and sudden disappearance
From around October of last year to March of this year there was an
Australian ID Vendor named 'Ausid'. His quality was unlike anything I
had ever seen before and offered the best forgeries there was anywhere,
the expensive price definitely matched the quality of the product,
impeccable. Many people (including myself) were extremely hesitant of
ordering from him as he was new, however after people realised he was
the real deal he blew up in the short amount of time he spent on the
road.
Around end of February - March (The time this police investigation
started) people stopped receiving their orders, 'ausid' would be
inactive for days on end, would not reply to messages and seemed to be
gearing up to do a runner or was already in the midst of it, ALOT of
people were left in the dark and bitcoinless, hopefully this can provide
closure to those people.
The details of the men caught, in the article match the general 'build'
of ausid and his associates both from what i had gathered in his forum
posts and a few private messages/conversations with him;
** Ausid was middle aged - as he stated in a forum reply to a user
who accused him of being a '16 year old kid sitting in his bedroom
making ID's' with his reply being along the lines of "I haven't seen my
parents in around 30 years" - The man arrested in the article was 52.
** Ausid had a 'runner' who would take care of the customer side of
things ie delivery/postage etc etc. This i knew from a message i had
received from ausid telling me they had to shutdown due to his 'runner'
being under surveilance, funnily enough being about 8 months ago, the
time of when this police operation and investigation started, I'm
guessing the 47 year old man arrested with him was his runner.
**The area of which they operated out of matches and explains the
extremely fast postage time it took for me to receive my item to my area
(I am near by).
**Ausid stated numerous times to people who doubted his legitimacy
that they had enough 'offline' business to stay afloat, this might
explain how they got caught with this investigation?, a possible slip up
due to face to face activities ?
**When Ausid first started on SR they sold credit cards, medicare
cards and drivers licences, exactly what the men in the article were
manufacturing.
**Ausid used some of the most highest quality industry equipment both
from what he stated on his vendor page and forum posts, (he used a
$7-10 000 printer, heat presses, lamination machines etc) this matches
the "high quality equipment seized"
I don't know if any of this is just theoretical bullshit of mine or
not but it seems to match up reaaally well. I'm guessing that by them
setting up a SR account it drew a lot more attention onto them, (even
more so that was already on them).
They then dissapeared around exactly the same time this investigation
started , most likely to get attention and heat off of them, however in
the end looks like it did not work.
So for anyone who lost their money to ausid this might explain it.
As for now this is just assumptions I guess and obviously I can't verify this but everything matches up.
