Norwegian vendor Hotline24 busted

To everyone that may have ordered from the norwegian vendor Hotline24, it is adviced to clean your home.

"With sales on the dark net communications between seller and buyer are encrypted, making investigations harder. Police still have tools and possibilities of identifying those involved. Payment is made mainly with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin and the drugs are distributed via normal mail."

The vendor in question had been dealing outside of the markets as well. It is assumed that this vendor was targeted because of offering fentanyl and claiming to have access to carfentanyl.

The police have access to this vendor's alphabay-profile, as can be seen by looking at his profile information and listings.

It is unknown which 'tools and possibilities' they are referring to.

If they have access to his profile, and he used 2FA, don't that mean they can decrypt anything that was sent to him using that same public key?
