[Complaint/Warning] British Tor Vendors Association Warning:- EVOLUTION MARKETPLACE. BTVA Members advised to cease trading immediately

Please make a note of all shipping details of any orders you have in escrow. These should still be shipped.

Unfortunately, it looks like you're not going to get paid.

While you have the chance, please deposit a few pence-worth of bitcoin into your own EVO deposit address, and make a note of the address for SRR2.

The site's owner is the only person who can withdraw funds from the site, we're going to find his wallet.

More info to follow

RB 11.15 GMT 17 March 2015

I'm minded to think Evo have lost some bitcoin and are trying to get between Friday and Tuesday without becoming bankrupt. Hopefully, my vendors will be granted access to their own funds as a priority, and we can avoid any unpleasantness.

Evo really aught to contact its own moderators and admins, because they're in a right old panic. Explain why deposits work normally, but withdrawals don't. Either on their forum, reddit or deepdotweb.

Withdrawals from Evolution are presently delayed. The Grand Wizard had two small Evo withdrawals (total less than 1btc) take 18+ hours to arrive in the Wizardly Coffers. Many vendors are reporting similar issues: interested readers can check the Evolution forums for further updates.

GWL Evolution is presently in vacation mode. We will reopen when and if this is sorted out. As things stand now even the Greatest Mind the Psychedelics World Has Ever Known is confused. Looking at the various "withdrawals delayed" threads on the Evo forums, it seems like there's some kind of issue getting bitcoins out of cold storage. This could be miscommunication or it could be that a staff member did a runner with the escrow funds: /u/BTVA may well be privy to information that has escaped the Grand Wizard's almost-all-seeing eye. We will keep you apprised of further developments as they arise: for now our Agora and BlackBank offices are still open.

NOTE: If you have placed a recent order with the Grand Wizard's Lair on Evolution, don't worry. All outstanding packs have been posted and we will take care of our customers no matter what happens to the marketplace.

A note to self: Dont read ANY BTVA messages while high.

I'm panicking the fuck out.

Huh... that's weird, I could have sworn I just withdrew coin from Evo to a private electrum wallet just earlier tonight.

You know, it would be nice if you actually tried to explain what the hell you're saying, because as it is, it makes absolutely no sense. If ever there is something going wrong with Evo I'd want to know about it right quick, but I'm going to have to assume this is just pure FUD first and foremost because it makes NO SENSE.

[10 Points] Hank_Vendor:

well that's a bummer. still, beats a seizure I guess.

I can't get online at the moment, but I've been in vacation mode since Friday. Luck box or what. if anyone has an order not show or I missed anyone contact me in agora.

I'll ship anything outstanding.

I am in full popcorn mode for the the most glorious and worthy Exit-Scam in Darknet history.


[5 Points] BTVA:

This is information for British Tor Vendors Association members.

Any other vendors who wish to go into vacation mode, we recommend that. The situation at EVO is confused, mods are scared and fearing the worst.

To my knowledge, wallets have had a one-way valve on them for the last 3 days. We have no evidence to suggest that admins or moderators are involved, should a robbery be in progress.

This BTVA notice isn't just the result of "a bad feeling about Evo". Please contact me directly via SS, AFTER you remove your listings and write

"We have suspended trading on Evolution until further notice. All confirmed orders will be shipped, regardless of the bitcoin situation. If your order hasn't been confirmed, please cancel it. We can be contacted on (insert marketplace name)


[7 Points] CocaineNose:

well.. I hope "shipped" = really shipped.


[4 Points] noonehear:

As I read the Evo thread I just found it hilarious that mods have no contact with admin... to me this seems like a situation where admin would contact mods to let them know what the situation is.

Sounds sketchy as hell to me.


[5 Points] waitingwaitingbuellr:

I was hoping to buy a decent amount of stuff today from Evo, around $400 worth. As a buyer, should I stay clear of it as well right now? Or perhaps hurry up and place my order since the vendor isn't on Agora.

Why is that?


[5 Points] Pabbycakes:

I made a withdrawl from Evo yesterday, took about ~6 hours for it to go through.


[4 Points] LNBRSC2:

Just put $250 in evo last night


[3 Points] _-________________-_:

into your own EVO deposit address, and make a note of the address for SRR2.

Would you mind repeating whatever you just wrote, in English this time?

What does "SRR2" have to do with Evolution?

The site's owner is the only person who can withdraw funds from the site, we're going to find his wallet.

WTF are you cryptically talking about? Hacked? Robbery? Exit Scam?


[3 Points] Gratefulstickers:

Woah, this might be epic


[3 Points] deepdot:

SRR2 = /u/sheeproadreloaded2 ?


[3 Points] brrj:

RIP your BTC mates


[3 Points] agoravendor2393130:

BTVA, why did your group agree on using a market run by known CC scammers who got pwned repeatedly in the past? How did that decision process go about?


[3 Points] rulinus:

Meanwhile on evo forums;

[2 Points] PsychedelicTangerine:

I have had a withdrawl processing for 8 hours.

Not sure what is up here.

I have herd its only large withdrawls that are haulted. Any one confirm?


[2 Points] toastedjelly_:

uhhhhhhhh


[2 Points] crapCAPS:

Okay I have to ask as I don't fully understand all of this. I just placed an order for 75 tabs from gammagoblin today, am I fucked?


[2 Points] toastedjelly_:

LMAO at the casually added edit after OP had a few minutes to stop and reflect on the panic he had caused.

Fucking Brits


[1 Points] lamarrotems:

Hopefully, my vendors will be granted access to their own funds as a priority, and we can avoid any unpleasantness.

Is that a threat? Can't be, Brits are too nice to threaten people.


[1 Points] rulinus:

So there is a "British Tor Vendors Association" huh. I guess people form organizations for everything.


[1 Points] None:

Incoming posts: Why the fuck is Agora so slow!


[1 Points] durgsrbad:

Oh here we go. Redbook et al resorting to smarmy British word salad to convey its concerns to the greater unwashed.

Someone from Team 'I Sell Drugs Guvnor' needs to invest a little into communication, and know when to use it. Mangling cryptic half-truths and factoids into pompous reams of text isn't particularly effective at a/ getting a point across and b/ not looking like a tool.


[1 Points] c9throwaway:

Some week ago, I LOST 86 BITCOIN AT EVO! I think maybe lose not fake website now!


[1 Points] lamarrotems:

How did you know it was coming?

Did you have to post this on a public forum? Couldn't you have just messaged your associates and spared us the FUD? No need to create such a fuss in front of everyone...
