the_avid

This guy pops up a week ago and has managed to weasel his way into the operations of numerous dnm's. Replaces half his post history with .'s .. Trust from the community should come at a much greater price..

Would be a great success story for LE.

I've had similar thoughts. He is definitely in a good position to cause some damage.

But I'm also paranoid and don't trust anyone.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see what happens ...

And those will be my final words:

secinnosec = cantina!

Do not try to understand how i know that, i am way ahead of you.

Its possible, I guess, but I don't think it really matters. Consider SR2 for example - I'm almost certain that it is either being run by LE or atleast infiltrated by LE at this point. How does this affect you as a vendor or a buyer? It doesn't - as long as you are practicing the proper security methods. Disable javascript, always use PGP and don't leave a BTC balance on any marketplace and you should have little to nothing to fear. I think you should assume every marketplace is being run by LE and play the game accordingly.

Isn't the_avid somehow linked to TMP? I don't think he just popped out of no where. >.<

I could be totally wrong though.

I also don't think LE would go for such a high profile personality, especially on reddit, in order to gain trust through darknetmarkets which don't even represent a drop in the water compared to SR. I think he would gain more respect/trust with the correct people vs the masses by keeping all his pentesting and exploit finding secret and not collecting btc for his services.

But he could be using it to gain trust for a bigger agenda, maybe its just money, maybe he is the LE. We will never really know. I suspect he will continue to prove himself useful until one day he gets doxxed (which I wouldn't bet on) or he fucks off to some unknown corner of the internet.

Oh dear.....


[5 Points] thedabmancan:

Honestly, if I had pissed off as many people as he had I would replace all of my post history too.

Wouldn't want to leave any evidence that could even possibly lead to a doxx


[3 Points] NapoleonBonerphart:

Interesting theory. This isn't too far off from what NOD did to DPR near the end- and he would have gotten away with it if not for those meddling Homeland Security agents beating him to it.

I think it's far more likely however that you are just a cantina shill- you obviously harbor some animosity towards him, using a word like 'weasel'...

What's going to happen is the_avid is going to see a bunch of bitcoin he can steal and take them. What's to stop him. Hi I'm an anonymous "auditor". I'll gain your trust and not tell you about all the holes I find so I can cash out someday. Thanks for paying me to jack your escrow later.

Abandon these automated sites and only deal in live chat guys. XMPP/OTR Tor chat. Hell, run an IRC silc server and sell all day on it. Anything is better than these monolithic servers handling massive amazon levels of narco traffic and centralizing communications. Make a static site that lists your vendor's menu and pics. Use live, pgp signed payment addresses over encrypted decentralized chat. Fuck this stupidity.

No chance I'm using any marketplace that he has "worked on"...
