Agora compromised, pressured by LE?!

Yesterday, upon the news about Elaborate, there was a 15 page + thread on their board full of concerned buyers.

Since then, that thread has been completely deleted. Not edited, not closed, Deleted!

And the latest, Elaborates listings are still up, but his account was put into vacation mode.

Plenty of users have msgd staff and support as to why a thread holding information about a possible scam and or LE setup was removed, and no one is saying a word!

It makes zero sense why the staff at Agora would remove a thread informing the users of the possibilities of CD's... Unless they are being forced to do so??

Call me paranoid, but something don't make sense here what so ever..

Has Agora been forced to make these changes?

You guys are retarded. You really think AGORA is COMPROMISED, just because a THREAD WAS DELETED? hahahahaha.

Fucking think guys, you guys think too deep. They could do so much worse if LE had access to the site.

How woudl LE force a darknetmarket to delete a thread on their forum or somehting on their site? Send a subpeana to their office ? Come on.

I dont know about this one. Maybe they deleted the thread to stop FUD from spreading all over. After 15 pages people are just paranoid and the facts are actually long gone on page 1 to 4.

And the latest, Elaborates listings are still up, but his account was put into vacation mode.

Thats how they work. Dont delete the account because it would delete all the evidence they take into account to make a decition. They force the account into vacation mode , freezing escrow and stopping the scammer from withdrawing any more funds or taking more orders while they investigate.

I highly doubt Agora is compromised , it just looks like them are doing their job quite well actually.

I severely doubt agora's been compromised. If suddenly they said pgp isn't needed because there's on site encryption, then I'd say it's been compromised.

they put all scamming vendors in vacation mode (everything is suspended while they usually try to figure out who gets what back, etc)--just because listings are still up doesn't mean much if Elaborate can't accept orders or withdraw BTC.

How about no? Why would they close xanaxkings account almost immediately after they heard the news, and allowed the forum posts to warn others users about the danger.

When vendors are in vacation mode their listings are still visible but you cant purchase them, it does not make sense so maybe you should ask Agora why.


[2 Points] None:

You need to ask what the point of trying to control a market would be. If everything is done correctly, the markets should in essence have no better idea who the vendors/buyers are then any other joe schmoe. Being in control of the site doesn't help you to identify users when most use pgp encryption that only allows communication between the 2. They're much better off going after vendors rather then administrators. If anything they'd simply shut the site down, not sit there and allow more users to buy and sell drugs.

I've thought this since the XK bust happened and after all of the subsequent CDs. There's been a ton of posts in this sub lately of people not receiving their orders or only receiving part of their order. To add to that there's been many posts of vendors offering low prices and asking for addresses to be resent. I think you're right that Agora in general has been compromised.

Edit. The most important thing people seem to be missing is that LE, customs, and the post offices seem to be upgrading their ways of screening mail for drugs. This presents a very long term issue.
