Wired names Verto and Kimble two of its "Most Dangerous People on the Internet in 2015"

As 2015 began, a market called Evolution ruled the Dark Web's underground economy, with tens of thousands of listings of drugs for sale alongside weapons and stolen financial information. The site, run by two pseudonymous figures named Verto and Kimble, displayed a darker side of the Dark Web markets, drifting from the Silk Road's ethos of enabling only victimless crime. Then in March, Evolution proved that in a fully anonymous economy, there's no honor even among thieves: The market suddenly went offline, and Verto and Kimble with it. The pair took all the money stored in Evolution's bitcoin accounts, a heist of their own business whose payoff one former employee estimated at $15 million.

Diamond (cwt) should be the most dangerous person on the Internet.

Id say the crooked government agents trying to extort the guys running these sites are more dangerous.. theyre in the club so they dont have to follow the rules.

If i was gonna exit scam on a market i would only take like 20% of everyones shit, so you could still make a few million without ruining everyones lives/businesses. thats if i was a cuntsack


[0 Points] Vendor_BBMC:

I had a feeling the exit was a bit botched.

Only $15M.?Sheep marketplace was like 5 alphabays, because he strung people along for weeks , preventing withdrawals but not deposits.

I think if verto had kept paying his own admins and kept them sweet, the disaster wouldn't have been avoided.
