Up until onymous I was a moderator on agora dealing with disputes. They don't allow moderators to have public profiles so i don't really have any way of proving this so you can believe me or not, I just had to post this somewhere.
I had worked for agora for around 6 months. I was paid well for moderating disputes and everything was great up until the onymous busts and the SR2 takedown. I messaged agora shortly after to find out if we were affected, and he was understandably spooked as hell. He tried to reassure me everything was going to be ok, but I got the impression he wanted out. I don't know how much agora has made for him but enough to retire comfotably at a guess.
Then it happened. 2 days later I received a new message from "agora", but this was not the same guy I had been speaking to for months. We never exchanged personal details obviously but the tone and wording of messages was completely different. I became suspicious and started to ask questions about some things we peviously talked about. The next reply (and last message) told me I was no longer required and thanks for everything. Nice! thanks a lot agora but hey whatever.
I'm still trying to figure out what this means. I don't think agora was seized by LE as I'm positive agora was the sam guy for a couple days after the SR seizure. The only conclusion that makes any sense is they sold the site to someone else, but why not keep old staff? You can't run a site the size of agora on your own and I know what the fuck I'm doing.
It worries me that all we worked for to make agora a great site is going to be ruined by some idiot only interested in scamming for some quick bucks. You can take or leave any or all I said, but my advice is to not deposit anything and withdraw any funds if you still can.
Peace out!
Any proof ?
If not get the fuck out with your FUD.
If they wanted to scam, they'd bloody close withdrawals. Every single time deposits were not functional, on any market in the past 2 years, it turned out to be what the admins said.
It's not hard to provide proof for your claims so if they're lacking, scram.
