AlphaBay was a successor to the first and most famous market operating on the so-called dark net, Silk Road, which the authorities took down in October 2013. AlphaBay grew into a business with 200,000 users and 40,000 vendors — or 10 times the size of Silk Road — the Justice Department said on Thursday. Mr. Cazes, originally from Canada, had his laptop open and was logged in to AlphaBay at the time of his arrest, allowing the authorities to gain access to all of AlphaBay’s hidden servers and financial accounts, according to legal documents unsealed on Thursday. Mr. Cazes committed suicide in his jail cell shortly after he was arrested, the authorities said on Thursday. He was 25 years old. The authorities have moved quickly to seize Mr. Cazes’ significant assets, including properties in Antigua, Cyprus and Thailand; 10 vehicles, including a Lamborghini and a Porsche; and financial assets of about $18 million.

So crazy it reads like an onion article, especially the fact that he committed suicide right after being arrested

Officials said they found Mr. Cazes because he had posted his personal email address, Pimp_Alex_91@hotmail.com, in some early messages from AlphaBay.

Dark markets aren't the only thing keeping Bitcoin prices up. Bitcoin is safer than many countries currency currently. Especially shite holes like Venezuela.

It is absolutely ridiculous just how much it is. I know boxes coming from legal marijuana states are often punched with a rod or something to see if it leaks smell. Feel like it would be near impossible to find some acid or pills if packaged half arse safely

This pump is because people are speculating the long warned about August 1 fork might not happen.

One guy was a physics major, silkroad 2 guy worked for space x or some shite... guessing this guy was another nerd with 0 prior criminal experience. Ross gets a slight pass because he went into uncharted territory, those following do not.
