Settling the FUD, "Under new management": round 2. FIGHT!

My second order of business was to clean up the phishing spam on alphabay, which I just did! I guess my third order of business will be the next thread in this series of FUD fights.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. What is this? From the FUD to FUD telephone game, this short phrase has been warped. No, Alphabay was never defaced with the words "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT." Where does this come from? I'll let our dear Cannajuice answer for me.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/3afogp/no_deal_was_reached_with_alphabay_we_are_going_to/cse1676

This was Thursday around 12noon EST.

OH YEA, this was the same time the forums had a "under new management" post stickied to the top of the sub. See our original comment https://www.reddit.com/r/AlphaBay/comments/3aaoig/under_new_management_and_site_is_not_resolvng/

Forums is the key word. A sticked post requires a FORUMS moderator account to make, this would imply at the extent of the damage is that a forums moderator had been phished and lost control of his forums account for a period of time before alerting the other moderators to suspend it.

Alpha02 will confirm or deny and I will report the answer.

...A completely white page with a single sentence in the upper left corner that said

"Flood is coming, maybe you can try again.....?" or "Flood is coming, maybe try again later......?"

What does "Flood is coming, maybe try again later...."" mean?

Congrats, you found another error page! I will investigate as to why an error page referencing a flood appeared. I'm going to take a wild guess right now and say its the preferred error page for when the server is experiencing a heavy load, such as when under DDOS attack.

I'll be making more threads and posts to deal with each individual piece of FUD to rest easy every mind that entertained the idea of truthfulness about them.

You're in safe, well paid hands.

Why is the market so bad in general, I know it's not FUD and just a true statement but thought I might as well ask here?

wtf was the point of this post


[1 Points] alphabaysupport:

The exact sentence is "Flood limit, wait 10 seconds." and it is displayed as a single sentence on a white page when a user requests too many pages and activates the flood limit. They just need to wait a few seconds, refresh, and it will work all right

Why didn't you answer any of my replies on your post? Please do. You fail at PR for spinning shit and pretending everyone is stupid.

For all we know, you could be being paid to spend your free time putting a positive spin on the situation at alphabay, Playing devil's advocate, lets speculate about his motivation (which even TrappyPandora may not know). Because:-

---Alpha02 is unable to do it himself, because he's so busy fighting fires on alphabay.

---He's moved from creditcard fraud to bitcoin fraud because its easier, with victims who can't go to the police. But since the credit card fraudster running Evolution Marketplace ruined it for everybody, his word carries little weight.

---He's cracking under the strain, and the amount of bitcoin deposited on the site has actually started decreasing. The optimum exit scam time may have already passed before he can set up the site so that deposits still work, but withdrawals don't.

---He's trying to keep too many plates spinning at once. Preparing a new marketplace to launch BEFORE the exit scam, to hoover up all the displaced vendors (who would otherwise go to Agora), and taking "market hardening and money-laundering advice" from either Stexo / DPR2 /VarietyJones. Or all of them, if they are the same person.

What a tangled web we weave.

This is pure speculation on my part. Sometimes I speculate, and I'm wrong. Sometimes I accidentally hit the nail on the head, and get attacked by shill accounts telling me to go and smoke some meth etc, and I know I'm on the right track.

The darknet is the favorite haunt of psychopaths. Part of their disability is that they can't just do nothing and keep quiet. They HAVE to respond, and go on the attack pretending to be a third party. They steer you towards the truth themselves, by making the truth too hot to go near.

That's how you find the truth in the dark. Now we play the waiting game....
