Not all hope is lost yet guys

This is from Bluevikings agora page.

3/18 Update:

An opportunity has arisen that we have never encountered during a market exit scam, and there may be a potentially light side to this dark event.

We are investing as many resources into this potential lead as humanly possible. I cannot give any details or absolutes, but the possibility of retrieving your stolen bitcoins is not a lost cause just yet.

I am done with watching people get robbed time and time again. Our monetary losses are irrelevant, but the communities and our customers are not.

BV

The drama going on is exciting. I hope they can get the bitcoin back. Wouldn't the journalists have a field day with that one. I posted here because the mega thread is really mega wanted some extra visiblity.

I suspect that this means that during their operation they have revealed themselves to some trusted contacts who are now reviewing their continued promise to anonymity.

You don't vanish with a lot of dealers BTC and it not get you in a world of pain.

I have no idea what this means, but I have to say that BV has consistently been one of the most stand-up vendors I've ever dealt with.

Go for it, Blue Viking.

I never thought I would live to see the day when a large US Vendor lifted a finger during a marketplace exit scam.

Forget about the "Evolution administrator" British heroin addict on Reddit who confessed to his role in the scam and struck the finishing blow. He was already unemployed by then.

The real heroes were the two mainland Europe Evo moderators who made themselves unemployed yesterday morning out of conscience. One of our vendors had been collaborating on a project with them, and noted their increasing unease over the last week.

Yesterday morning, they left Evolution Marketplace and became employees of a British Tor vendors Association member. He contacted me around 10AM, and the full members voted "Yes" on "Devolution" unanimously.

One of them had 43 BTC in escrow, which he voluntarily wrote-off, knowing that we all agreed to ship orders during a robbery (this is his 6th).

Our vendors on Evo had one hour to get all their orders off there and say goodbye to the site for the last time. RedBook of BBMC messaged Agora admin to warn them to expect an influx of new users.

At 11:15 GMT, I pressed "send"

http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/2zc89r/complaintwarning_british_tor_vendors_association/

as usual, american vendors completely disappeared, and their customers, well.... you just gave us stick for doing something (which I'm going to give back in a minute).

Evolution’s desperate owners countered with a tribute post. Being carding fraudsters, it concentrated on our members drug dealing and was heavy on the meth jokes. It was already too late, we were pointing at the evidence, and the usual american trolls were looking at our finger and saying how British the finger is, instead of looking where it was pointing.

Evo was abandoned 10 days early, saving users and vendors millions of dollars. A new marketplace called “ironclad” was hastily launched to try to hoover up the displaced Evo vendors before they joined Agora. It should have launched a week before Evo was scuttled, its timing 3 hours after BTVA’s marketplace warning fatally holed it below the waterline. It won’t survive.

A third Evolution moderator, a British heroin addict, hastily changed allegiance when he knew the gig was up, and put Evo to the sword with his secret insider knowledge that he was part of a scam.

Please don’t credit him with this. He would still be scamming for another 10 days if two of his european compatriots hadn’t come to the BTVA with information, because we were the only vendors they felt they could trust to be uncorrupted, and who would have the balls to finish off the owners of a darknet marketplace. We’ve got form for it.

You are the first US vendor to grow a pair, BV. So I nominate you as the boss of the ATVA.

BV has to post something like this to squash all the rumors that he knew about it. Blue Viking if you know something do something about it

BV got lucky as hell with this shit. Is it possible that he had some idea this would happen? It also correlates with Tripyyyyyyyyyyyy doing his exit scam.

Edit: Btw thanks for telling me to wait for BV to do his sale before ordering my cid guys :)


[10 Points] thegallantone:

Don't be so naive...You think that Blueviking, the same guy who made his anniversary sale yesterday and explicitly stated he wouldn't ship anything out till tomorrow in his profile had no knowledge of this? He literally didn't take any losses, he's FE only and was open for one day over a week ago. Coincidence, please...

I want my Bitcoin back fuck this


[4 Points] Courvoisier-Evo:

I think it's safe to say that our BTC is gone.


[6 Points] throwawayfuckevo:

I need to reiterate what a few people with common sense have stated: BlueViking was either in on this shit or knew about it... Two weeks off prior to a "sale", which came online literally within mere hours of the exit scam becoming blatantly obvious... The fact that before the sale began BV's profile stated that shipping cutoffs for the sale would be the same as they'd been for a while: order by a certain time (early in the morning, whatever it was) and your order ships that day. The day of the beginning of the sale, that changes suddenly to "orders today will MOST LIKELY ship tomorrow", and of course we now know, there was no fucking tomorrow. His/their claim that they had zero access to any of the orders that were placed that morning despite the fact that the site was up and running and they were clearly capable of receiving messages from customers regarding orders...

I'm grateful that I didn't order from the sale to begin with because it really wasn't much of a sale, as in the prices weren't anything special, but I had considered it and it seems obvious to me having followed this stupid drama that BV is simply being dishonest, at best.

All my support is behind BV, but i think they'd go after three own escrow first, then their customers and lastly the other members. Im not getting my hopes up but BV may have a fighting chance if they're willing to post this! I support him and Deep_throat all the way.


[3 Points] None:

How much was stolen, the media is reporting $12million but this was just the "total amount received" in the wallet.


[2 Points] Rex-Team-Trust:

Hope in one hand; Shit in the other. Either way...I fear the Evo Admins will likely be in a non-extradition countrys with fake Identities up the wazoo. Even if they are Doxxed and it is real they are already gone.


[2 Points] thegallantone:

He looks suspicious as fuck, and I'm out a shit ton of money that I spent on acid.


[2 Points] ChickenSaladFart:

Evolution as we know it, is gone forever.

Is he back up on Agora?


[1 Points] PsychedelicTangerine:

Love BV I hopoe he comes throgh fuck KIMBLE and VERTO


[1 Points] SecondChanceUsername:

More power to you BV, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. I lost a shit load just by sheer coincidence (about to order that very day) and I'm less pissed than i should be because it won't do any good.


[1 Points] urlocalbudtender:
