Guy claims to have scammed AlphaBay out of 2 BTC (x-post /r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs)

(Not my post, this is the direct text from this linked post)

He's claiming he "social engineered" AlphaBay out of over $1200 (2 BTC).

Had a feeling that there was a strong possibility there could be an exploit in their XMR hot wallet due to the fact that it is a fairly new implementation to their site and they may not have not discovered all security holes yet. Being the massive troll that I am, I decided I would fire some shots their way for some lolz and make their admins panic a little.

After getting bored of spamming them, I closed my browser, went for a workout and soon went to bed. Skip forward to today, I needed to refill my bitcoin wallet I purchase a couple hundred in bitcoin on circle, then open my multibit wallet to get an address to send my coin from circle to multibit. The second to last screenshot is what was the result of last nights trolling. Talk about feeding the trolls boys. They fed me well.

I looked into it more and the wallet did have 2 BTC deposited, everything in his story checks out.

Thoughts?

It's true paging /u/alphabaysupport can you confirm? It wasn't just two bitcoin either, they gave me a little extra! Thanks AB!!

That kid sounds like some 17 year old faggot. 2 btc probably the most money he's ever had in his life lol

Main thing I took out of this is that trolls have started calling themselves social engineers?

Hello,

Same guy just tried the same thing with us, we're sorry but we're not 14 anymore and we won't fall into this bullshit.

Why only 2 BTC? Lol

Thank god for the internet separating con artists from their victim with such distance. If someone did this to some of the dealers I've met, they'd find out that hiring a kneecapper is cheaper than you think. "Oh my weakness is that I believed you when you said I had a weakness? Your weakness is that your knees only bend in one direction. Let me help you with that." Keep the money, you'll need it soon.

Hopefully AB doesn't pull an exit scam off this 2 BTC loss lol. Prob nothing to them


[1 Points] Dog3Way:

Wow. They were pretty stupid paying you.

Since you said yourself you are not a hacker, what makes you think you are safe?

It would be funny if this was real, AB being scammed by a 13 year old...

But idk why he thinks this makes him cool regardless... most of the community dislikes carders cuz they steal money from innocent people and AB actually helps the community by giving us a platform to deal on.

Even if this isn't true, it's still funny af

Funny, I try offer a payout of 3:1 to anybody that thinks this is fake by having a moderator login to my account and see for himself that the screens were not faked, and instead of getting takers on my bet, I get downvoted! You guys sure seem really confident that this fake lol. Put your money where your mouth is boys. This can be proven.
