The Hub and Albert

Does anyone have any idea what happened with The Hub and Alfred? He posted on the Silk Road forums warning everyone to pull their BTC the night before the seizure but it was removed promptly as the forums were likely under LE control at that point. I haven't heard anything more and assume that The Hub wasn't seized and rather pulled down voluntarily whilst the dust settles. Anyone have any more info though and a method to contact Alfred? Greatly appreciated.

I'd like to thank the moderators of /r/darknetmarkets for allowing posts and discussions like this, which balance on the razor sharp line between useless drama and critical info, to continue uncensored.

i think it was seized (possibly overloaded b/c of the SR traffic visiting it to figure to whats going on) but most likely seized. I PMed using PGP Alfred right after he made the warning to SR2 and barley 30 minutes later it was shut down with no backup forum! Last time they had the forums up in like 3 days. I think Al was 'in the know' and somehow privy to SR operations. But i don't think he was arrested.

the Kingdom forums are being run by people who have spent the last year talking to a LE mole. and they say they're going to turn it in to a market. they somehow think LE isn't immediately monitoring that forum and all of the users from SR forum, chemcat etc. you couldn't make this shit up! do not go near it.

The legend according to the dude posting under the synonyme of /u/tang-- goes like this:

Alfred = StExo = DPR2 got busted in the UK.

But this aswell might be FUD.

EDIT: it was /u/DeepThroat_ not tang

Fuck I should have listened to Albert and gotten my coin off site when I could :( People were always crying wolf though over there and the one time I didn't listen ofc they were right.
