LE's 8 Point Plan According to EMCDDA, LOL

I felt that the large fucking book the EMCDDA recently released is too much for most users to actually read so this passage stood out as the only information I felt important, suffice to say I expected more effective strategies from European LE given the lack of a constitution and civil liberties that US users enjoy when the NSA isn't breaching them.

"From a perspective of feasibility and broad-based public support, the following approach is recommended for law enforcement in the coming years:

1) Continue the current work of combating the main cryptomarkets, focusing on administrators and moderators.

2) Prosecute the main vendors who, judging from the quantities ordered, operate as middlemen on cryptomarkets.

3) Seize cryptocurrency wherever possible and dismantle cryptocurrency facilities that make it possible to make or receive payments for drugs.

4) Confiscate goods paid for with the proceeds of crime.

5) Invest in big data techniques, in order to link vendor nicknames and internet activity with certain IP addresses.

6)Convince internet service providers that unknowingly host cryptomarkets to stop, by entering into public- private partnerships with ISPs. Tackle conscious facilitators (such as bulletproof hosts) by means of permit regulations or criminal prosecution, to ensure that providing this service is no longer pro table.

7) Professionalise checks on parcel post to greatly reduce the odds of successfully shipping drugs by mail, a move that would hit both the conventional and the internet drug trade.

8) Develop a strategy to diminish the trust of vendors and buyers in the reliability of cryptomarkets."

This is an interesting one. Perhaps they will start a Department of FUD to carry this out. AKA "The FUDs."

Sounds like they got their work cut out. And while they're super busy playing whack a mole with the postal system and ISPs, gangs and other organizations that operate in the real world will gladly appreciate the break and focus of police on something else.

Number 8 has been fairly successful, if we turn an eye (tinfoil hat?) toward the state of the markets compared to the days of Agora.

I wonder how many vendors that have exit scammed have done so only after they were busted and their accounts compromised by LE? Though I imagine we'd have heard of at least some attempted CDs of larger buyers in those cases, maybe the feds haven't bothered.

I don't understand. How can you prosecute them if you don't know who they are? And why not go for the producers rather than the "middlemen"?

Lmao I can't wait to see the LE shills in action... Motherfuckers 3 months from now: "Quantik is a big scammer lol lmao my fellow dark net marketers do not buy from him he is bad. Does anybody know where he lives? I want to go punch him lol"

Why did you LOL at it? It's not a Loling matter.

I don't know where to start, so I'l start with the title:-

LE's 8 Point Plan According to EMCDDA, LOL

'nuff said. The US famously DOES have a constitution. And what's an "EMCDDA" when it's at home? I feel like a stranger in a world I don't understand.

What is the source?

A word of warning to vendors with Reddit accounts (mainly /u/Pelican_Vendor): making posts and sending messages requires Javascript. There is a very good possibility that a deanonymizer exploit can be embedded in Reddit's code to reveal the IP addresses of users. Be vigilant and professional online, because one day police may raid your house as you are packaging orders; you being none the wiser.

I think this strategy may be the reason I had received bad feedback from some mean and weird customers ultimately compromising my integrity and driving me to exit scam out of frustration. EDIT: I guess I could just be like "the devil made me do it" but this seems a little more realistic.
