Folks you all are being lied to in a big way. I would expect more from this community but instead I see you believing what Jeff Sessions and police are telling you. Furthermore your creating panick which is what Jeff Sessions wants.
Lets review shall we? How many transactions happened on the darknet? How many users? Now the only people who are busted is market operators which no shit thars risky and I have not even heard of one confirmed vendor going down yet. There are millions of users, billions of dollars in transactions and they barely catch anyone. Maybe large vendors or operators and guess what? They knew the risks. The only users not vendors that we saw go down in 5 years like 20 max who got caught up by accident. So the odds of you being busted is about 1 in 5,000,000 at this juncture. Now thats not scientific but its accurate to say you guys who are just users are safer than ever.
This is propaganda they want you scared. They are revealing all this so called "we got everyones user names address phone numbers and were letting you know we might be coming" give me a fucking break. And if your a big vendor you already know what time it is. Thanks for the heads up Jeff this gives me plenty of notice to clean my house. So nice of the authorities to warn everyone they are coming.
Nothing to see hear. The money that was lost is admission to affordable good safe drugs.
This is not a good excuse to tell everyone to calm down and that "everything is ok". Do you want people to get busted and go to prison?
The best thing to do right now is to lay low, improve your opsec and come back when the coast is clear.
Everyone should be on guard for the time being.
And you saying big vendors "know what time it is" and all that bs. Give me a break. Drug dealers get busted all the time. Alex got busted and allegedly hanged himself, Ross Ulbricht is in prison for life.
Be careful out there, prison could happen to anyone.
