AlphaBay 200k 'users'

This is a article on deep dot web:

http://deepdot35wvmeyd5.onion/2015/10/14/alphabay-market-has-reached-200000-users/

what do you all think of this? Users or just (fake) accounts? It looks like they are really trying to keep up their idea of being the biggest market... i'm wondering why they would do that

Dunno why but AB sketches me out. 1) Run by carders supposedly 2) These weird advertising campaigns.. "Hey look! We're the biggest market and we care about your security" It's the only market right now that does this shit. 3) I don't use AB, but i constantly see posts here from people having issues with it. Granted the vast majority of them probably got phished which isn't necessarily Alphabay's problem. It still makes me wonder anyway..

2 is definitely my biggest concern. From the article:

We are currently working to introduce new exciting features and improvements both in marketplace & forum to increase trust, security and functionality – coming soon.

This is what i'm talking about. I won't be surprised whatsoever when this market exit scams at it's peak. I prefer markets that just shut up, get things done, and stay quiet.

120k users + 80k dummy accounts created to contact the admins when locked out of regular account = 200k

Yep. sounds right

AlphaBay is looking shadier and shadier by the day.

People are crazy to use that site. As soon as I found out the admins at Evolution had carding connections, I stopped using it. I never used Sheep because the name was the biggest foreshadow in the history of the darknet. And what do you know? I've never been scammed by a market (or vendor). I am in no way psychic now mind you, I just believe in a little thing called "common sense".

100k if you count that most there have made new accounts, since a shit tonne of people were locked out of theirs and not let back in.

I'm pretty relieved I know longer have to use alphabay anymore. When agora closed, all but one of my vendors moved to Abraxas, the other to alphabay, but he's finally made an Abraxas account so I'm happy.

Are they REALLY the biggest?

Seems fair. That is roughly 10 elementary kids per school. Yep adds up.
