FWIW, AlphaBay just announced this today, April 22nd, 2016:
"Alphabay can now safely be used as a coin tumbler! This means that no level of blockchain analysis can prove that your coins come from Alphabay since we use our own obfuscation technology. Making a deposit and withdrawing after is now a way to tumble your coins and break the link to the source of the funds. Since tumbling is not illegal, and since we leave no paper trail, you now have ironclad plausible deniabilty with your Bitcoins."
It's worth noting, that if this is indeed all legit, the coins would need to be deposited into AB and then withdrawn into a completely anonymous BTC wallet. Personally, I've never trusted tumblers and prefer obfuscation through swift crypto-currency exchange whenever I've felt it necessary.
What do you guys think? Legit or shaky as shit?
"you now have ironclad plausible deniabilty with your Bitcoins."
Is alphabay starting a comedy show or what because the way they are making fun of their users is hilarious.
ironclad? I'm sure there was another word to use instead of ironclad but no.
Withdraw all your coins and never use AB again because like Vendor_BBMC said they are going to exit scam at the end of this year.
