What if exit scams are vendor accounts being seized by LE?

Just thinking that maybe it's an LE tactic to seize funds/user info. Vendor account gets compromised, LEOs delay in shutting down the account, letting the escrow funds trickle in... Then they cash out, pocket the money for "future operation funding" and have a whole host of user names/addresses as future leads. Meanwhile, the otherwise anonymous vendor sits in a cell somewhere, and we all just assume he/she ran off into the sunset with the dough.

Has this been conjectured before?

LE would most likely feel the need to brag about any online bust they can get. They tend to try and swing their dick around.

You might reconsider your account name.

Maybe, but sometimes vendors rebrand themselves and pop up again under a poorly-made guise.

They would never do that. One word

Nod.

I'm a former opiate addict who chips here and there, Sometimes I take my extra coin and I'll buy a point or two. For some reason (I have good OPSEC) Nod saw fit to refuse my orders. Never happened before or again.

I've thought about this myself, but i dont think the LE continues to take sales and addresses, they arent very smart unless its like feds or something. i think more than likely a vendor gets busted and the pending orders and shit supposed to be shipped never does and they are gone forever. in this case though the account would be inactive cause they need OPs password anyways

I kinda have strong belief that some of these "exit scam" guys are doing some time. Shit happens and online there is no way to let you know about it.

There is no doubt that we would have a crossing the streams moment as mentioned in the original and in my opinion best Ghost Busters movie (It would be very bad)

The nickname suggests to me that you are in fact a person who has inappropriate thoughts about toddlers. Can we please get confirmation that this is not true because that crosses the line into a victim type crime against a admittedly smelly, noisy & only un cute infant in the entire animal kingdom however they are innocent - if it is the name of a rock band then my apologies I am not a groovy trend setter although I do own 2 late model cell phones.

We should have an anti rockspider policy much the same as the submissions I put in last month for the gypos and peasants.
