Some food for thought...

So if anyone follows this sub as much as I do, they may remember reading a post by the Grams admin a few days ago. I do not have a link to this sub currently avaliable, but that is besides the point as I am going to summarize its essence. Basically, the admin said that someone was trying to hack into helix. Today, I get on this sub and find that markets are being shut down. Coincidence? I think not. Perhaps this isn't just some random "hacker" trying to take our bitcoins, but the DEA.

Think of it from a LEO perspective. They would receieve way more information regarding laundering and would essentially drop the price of bitcoin flat on its ass. Not only that, but this would render more users virtually helpless because they would have not only dropped the value but would also collect all the coin itself, therefore funding their entire operation and delievering a huge blow to our movement. Furthurmore, they would've had the blockchains to every coin. Although it would've taken a huge amount of effort to trace every coin, they could sourced just bulk coin in order to catch more vendors.

This leads me to another thought though. Would it be safe to try to move any money off your DNM accounts to a tumbing service or to any other wallet. Essentially I have always had a distrust for these laundering services, and don't feel safe trying to move money to something trying to be hacked by an unknown group, especially while everything is going to hell in a handbasket. On top of all of this,

But, luckily they were unable to take over the site, which put their operation into plan B, which lead to them instead hitting the markets. This is all just a theory of mine and would love to here some others thoughts along this line. Until now i'm just gonna sit here with my popcorn and watch this all unfold...

Sounds logical but the counter argument is that grams is already an LE honeypot. I'm not saying I think it is, I'm just saying there have been whispers in this sub saying as much for quite a while. I don't know if they're true or not. I'm not personally smart enough to figure it out myself.

I guess all it comes down to is: Do you trust grams?

Obsessive lurker as well. We have had a alot of forewarning in the last few weeks.

1) iirc it was an Irish guy said his friend in LE advised of an impending super raid.

2) the whole weird ECC c9 alpaca code sharing insanity.

3) helix hack attempt.

4) questions of EVo being a LEO created from a demised carders market.

5)bear in mind that EVERY market fall to date has been a result of an infiltrator.

6) tangential but Defons reddit account makes odd references to SR back 3 years ago. He and Ross same city. Iirc Ross claimed not to be the first DPR. HHMMM.
