I have no life so I am constantly refreshing the sub, and recently there have been a few reports of coins showing up in user's alphabay accounts. The cause of this has yet to be determined.

There have been other threads posted where some users are claiming to deposit coin and it not showing up in their account even after waiting for an extended period of time.

I've also seen a couple threads mentioning a message on their balance page displaying "no addresses available, please try again later." when trying to deposit coin. I believe this is all connected somehow. As of right now the best explanation I can give would be there is a shortage of bitcoin addresses and there are now addresses being assigned to multiple accounts. The solution to this would be to generate more addresses and add them into alphabay's database. This could also have to do with the newly implemented internal tumbling service that alphabay provides and added less than a month ago. If anyone else has any ideas, please post them.

Anyways, I have no conclusive evidence of anything. Just be careful out there everyone, especially with all these threads popping up recently.
