Crazy I know, but speculation is fun.
What if all this drama has just been a PR stunt by alphabay?

It'd be a really crazy ruse to put this much effort into convincing people that a site has had some weird hacker with more mental issues than I do rummaging around through their server. I know "there is no bad PR", but yes there is.
You're supposed to check to make sure the moat is filled and the drawbridge is up when attackers are approaching your castle!

Why don't you guys give up. You lost the war. Boo hoo to yourselves please.
I think its more likely that it was a solitary loner with Aspergers who keeps himself to himself, and doesn't represent a hacking collective, Alpha02 called his bluff, and nothing happened. Because real hackers would do it silently and hope that their abilities are underestimated.
Rather than getting all grandiose like a James Bond mastervillain on Reddit.
