you mean criminals aren't trustworthy...?
Look at market history, 90% of them exit scammed.
They're only considered criminals because the bigger criminals (government) said so. Wake up you sheep.
If Google could do it with a daughter company and get away with it they would.
If you could do it and get away with it, wouldn't you?

We should stop trivializing pinky promises
It used to mean that you cut off your pinky
@@fredred8371if thats what pinky promises are, im only trusting dick promises from now on
@@fredred8371yeah. I remember when I was a kid. A pinky promise meant nothing, no kid was ever ruthless enough to requisition their pinky promise
@fredred8371 nah, it used to mean you'd swallow a thousand needles. Starting to sound like an appealing change over anonymous lack of repercussions.
@@fredred8371 Imagine having a prosthetic pinky.
when owners start with this bs, you know that things aren't right...
I'm still waiting for my bloody Plutus withdrawals from 2022. Such a shitshow.
Can't say whether the admins need to be more concerned about the glowie feds, or the spooky cartel mobsters lol
The balls they have is almost respectable while also insanely short-sighted
Nah, the cartels are busy mourning the loss of Akira Toriyama. (Too soon?)
The government has statute of limitations. The cartel does not.

These guys are getting killed. Exiting is one thing, but this is a step way too far. Confidence breeds ignorance. They are on their high horse now but they slipped up somewhere too.
Out of all the people to try and extort criminal gangs have to be one of the stupidest choice you can make.
Wanna know who can delete you, get caught yet walk free, or even admit they did it in 60 years later, and nobody will even bother try to arrest one of them. The C.I.A.

obviously, if your buying you should already that in mind
There's more honor among thieves than there is among the ruling class
Claiming a "hack" is pretty standard in exit scams to sow confusion and doubt while they cut and run, but the lengths they went to are truly insane. My speculation is that, with this level of effort, they set up a fall guy.
Maybe dumb of me to ask, but... Who trusts that they will actually purge seller's info once they pay? "We lied about encryption and we have gathered all the info about you. Pay us and we will definitely not leak it to the cops" like what??????
well, they are 100% releasing it if you _don't_ give them money
@nicolopez2181 sucks to suck then. They should've encrypted their info themselves and they wouldn't have this problem lmfao
@@grizchicagoYeah... Fuck Incognito but anyone relying on a DNMs auto-encryption weren't covering their tracks enough.
@@nicolopez2181
Sounds like Mossad tactics
Nobody should trust them, and nobody should pay them, it's a grave mistake to do so, for one the 'data' is useless. If you could be indicted for an address MOST people would be incarcerated atm.
Imagine getting extorted by someone who says "y'all".

@@henryeyes hello fellow twitter/NG artist
Hey, don't talk down to our African-American friends like that. They can extort just like the rest of us!
That's actually a very good way to minimize the places the man could potentially live if it isn't a bluff
The dark web is literally an example of what anarcho capitalism would look like.
Since there is no laws, you are at the mercy of the service provider.
Thing is, in anarchocapitalism there is a greater amount of transparency due to economic agents operating in an open market.
So yes, this resembles that somewhat, but at the same time there is a lot of subterfuge involved so not really.
@@waterbloom1213how is this not an open market? Anyone can join it as long as they know how to find it
you need to study sociology better, there's laws, unwritten ones and very clever techniques.
@@AndalusianLuis
It is not open in the sense that Law Enforcement does not allow for it to exist publicly. The need for obscurity causes information and competition to be less available than in a standard market, so buyers are more susceptible to scams due to the constrain of alternatives.
In theory anarchocapitalism society works entirely via voluntary agreements, so yes the buyer is subjected to the provider, but it is far more likely for them to switch to another competitor upon disagreements, thus having more bargaining power.
This does not mean that anarchocapitalism is viable or desirable in practice. No ancap society has existed so you can only entertain it via thought experiments and the proxy of classical liberalism.
@@waterbloom1213 it does exist publicly though. Again, anyone can join it. Also yes They can switch to other providers here too lol. I don’t think you’re thinking this through.
Imagine drugs being legal and the feds going after scammers instead. That would be a nice world.
Imagine being stabbed by meth addicts.
maybe one day, hopefully before I'm dead.
*ERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHH IT'S RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS GRAAAAH*
*I'M SO GLAD THEY LEGALIZED EVERYTHING RAAAAGH* * Breaks car window *
Imagine, lol, we practially just allow scammers to scam us out of hundreds of billions a year, ruining lives utterly, but they want to put people in a cage for a consentual transaction between 2 adults or for wanting to ingest something into their own bodies. Insanity. But then, how would LE justify their massively bloated budgets when crime is at a 50 year low?
Every normal person, that is someone who isn't involved with drugs, will have more sympathy for the scammers than the vendors and the users.
But with the way that's changing, how everyone is doing them these days, who knows? Maybe you'll get what you want.
I literally can't believe he actually said "pinky promise".
and i can't believe there was someone who believed them with their pinky promise (6:05)
Right? Is nothing sacred
Ironically, I can see a lot of folks being discouraged from future illegal activity as a result of this.
It happens one gets shutdown another one pops up a week later, that’s just the game
Doing stuff that involves these markets is always a gamble. People just trust they are not the one to be scammed, but by now, everyone knows the market is going to go down eventually. Always just a matter of time.
@@Kaiyats Never mind a week later. There are many markets currently open for business.
Most of the better markets do not have a shared deposit address anymore. A single address is created per each transaction.
@@Kaiyatsyeah, likely with the same people behind it too :D

Not true, most used currency for crime is generally tether USDT, monero is overhyped
Overhyped, aka the only anonymous cryptocurrency?
@@ohokcool You are wrong.
Monero is being black marbled by an attacker increasing its daily txns from 25-30k/day to over 200k/day, reducing its anonymity and lowering its inherent utility and price. The creators want to increase transaction fees which will likely cause a devaluation cycle over the next months. *~*~*the more you know*~*~*
I don't get how criminals have not yet figured out that you can't trust criminals.
That thumbnail is some "Darknet Diaries" heavily inspired artwork
Made me click it ... But it's a good vid
that would be because it’s the same guy who does jack rhysider’s thumbnails lol. he commented on this video
@@jackmitchell951I thought Jack did his own thumbnails
It was dope to see my thumbnail in your video! I seriously thought that our niche was to small to pull the numbers you do, you proved that to be wrong. 😊
Thanks for encouraging situational awareness for the community. NOBODY should pay these people, as LE (In the US) can do f*^k all to the buyers.
Yes, cartels use the darknet.
I did business with a few of them personally.
It's 'controlled delivery' not 'controlled buy', they are different things.
Someone on the DN having your address is NOT an indictable offense.
I could literally order drugs to your house now in that case, and then get you a bid.
holy shit you were on jack rhysiders podcast! i was literally thinking about your post office shipping strategy when he was talking about how law enforcement could use the data incognito was threatening to leak
800 comments and 125k views in 4 days, crazy
They're gonna take the money and still publish the names. Bet.
I dont know why publish names because theres nothing anyone can do with them
@@gatonegro187law enforcement can arrest, rival gangs can pursue. Plenty of people can use that info
@gatonegro187 Exactly, this information can't be used in a conviction in a meaningful way. Lawyers can argue quite easily it's all fake data to extort their clients.
Police have very strict standards for evidence and it likely won’t be a factor.bet.
If they're smart they nuked any data they had to begin with and are just bluffing to pocket more money
Don't trust Pharaoh, trust Kleopatra.
hahaaaaa i get it
Underrated comment
My man
I see what you did there....
I was thinking the same thing right before you brought up who is the likely vendors. This people are ballsy.
The admins of this market better have good opsec, because they definitely will get killed over this if they don't.
Pharos ip was leaked pretty quickly. Dunno if it was actually correct.
@@thatguy1729 the facts that you don't know whether it's his real IP suggests that it's probably not. And an IP only gives you a general geographical area and a service provider. Without more info, it's a nothing burger. You'd at least need a name to do some social engineering for more.
@@theKashConnoisseurYou can also just pay someone at that telecom company to search up his address. And if organized crime is involved, then they'll get that address.
@@theKashConnoisseur money talks, it wouldn't take long to get a contact at the ISP.
@@bipolarkeyboard good luck trying to promise a customer service operator large amounts of money in exchange for customer info while you're on a recorded line, lmao. Don't you think that would be a little... obvious? Wouldn't take the cops long at all to pick you up.
Oh neat, these people definitely aren't going to end up in a trunk.
God bless you!
This is going to be one hell of Darknet Diaries one day.
The fake transaction ID was enough to prove malice. They put the effort in to give people the wrong impression.
No. It could be real. You can construct a locally valid tx that is for some reason not broadcasted properly. Bitcoin core will still locally store the transaction
Silver lining to this is that people will (hopefully) do their own encryption. Boggles my mind that people would trust a website run by criminals to do their encryption for them
Pretty sure with Alphabay and possibly others, the auto encrypt feature was compromised after law enforcement took control, so if people didnt learn after that, they wont learn here either. Plus its not like the vendors could stop their buyers from using the feature either, and same with any messages sent to that vendor. It probably doesnt tell you whether it was "automatically" encrypted so they wouldnt even know.
Love your videos man. I’m busy with life/work and can’t keep up with tech news. Keep it up 👍
thats some heavy shit. these scammers are gonna have to watch their backs for the rest of their lives.

thats an amazing username forreal tho
hugbunter exit scammed his own market real mvp
@@gatonegro187 cope npc
@@gatonegro187 can't find a single source backing your claim. WHM announced closure and allowed vendors and buyers to clear accounts prior, it's the diametric opposite of an exit scam.

Mr outlaw will you please autograph my linux distro
Is it arch btw?
@@calligraphysthetiche installed gentoo
Thank you Mental Outlaw. You're the reason I'm still changing on to the deep Web loop. Never would've known about this otherwise. Also I'm very glad that figuring out how to PGP encrypt on your own is relatively easy ☺️
Yup pgp is super easy. I don’t trust those sites that have pgp messaging built in because they have the staff pgp pub key built in so they can see the messages too. It’s best to just use the pgp key encryption for the pub key of the vendor only (not the market).
They could have called it blackmail, but chose extorsion because the x makes it sound cool. I like that.
The moment everything isn't exactly perfect in one of these things, you don't do them. That goes for all personal and extralegal deals. Trust is everything. And the slightest hiccup should be enough of a warning to get out and find someone else.

I don't know a single instance of "mafia" people doing anything on the dark web, let alone having good IT skills.
@@MrCmon113 you'd be really surprised, don't underestimate actual mafia
They kidnap specialist to set up their comm systems in Mexico, not a far stretch to assume they don't also do the same to IT specialists or sending their kids to good schools to end up working for them doing the high end stuff @@MrCmon113
Damn he survived 5 beheadings? I’d be scared too
I bet there is a small number of devs who have performed a large number of these exit scams. They must be rolling in monero
Wow, this was actually a very interesting story.
luv your opening graphic
the way you say withdrawals makes me smile every time
Now say "drawers"
This guy must be smoking some vendor products to think he has a chance of surviving this. You cross 1 drug dealer that's one thing, cross hundreds??!
If they're vendors are hooked on their own supply he might have a fucking chance
Lot of these drug dealers are small fish hence why they sell on the dark Web instead of local clientele
This is just a natural part of a darkweb market life cycle.
“That’s a bold move Cotton, let’s see if it works out for them”
shit that's pretty wild. gonna be a pretty rough opsec lesson for a lot of people. If those site admins get doxd they're done for.
WHM did i think the most graceful exit from the scene - didn't get busted by L.E and posted a warning up ahead of site closure giving people the opportunity to clean house and withdraw.
Cannazone too did that
It's definitely an interesting power move to try and blackmail the types of people who be level 5 vendors.
... I'm sure this will work out great.
yah, level 5 vendors have computer experts on standby who can trace these guys but dont know how to make a website to sell the shit
Very interesting! Keep us updated
Hey Kenny why does this thumbnail look familiar? I got excited bc I thought maybe you and Jack might be teaming up for something but I guess not. Still a good video though
No honor amongst thieves.

this dark market doing this will only make it more difficult for other sales markets. no honor at all.
Nah not really. This is relatively common. Newer markets are doing things to make this much less of a problem.

Good thing their timing didn't have anything to do with ATH.
it’s so over
Damd they got far from the silk road
Feelin pretty good about always using pgp rn
Any market that makes you use a site wallet is bound to exit scam eventually. Also, anyone who doesn't self-encrypt their information deserves to get busted lmfao
I agree doing that to the vendors is insane. Especially since they dont know them. Everyone thinks their untouchable until. Messing with a random stranger that's good at computers is crazy.. lol
I wonder if they are stupid enough to actually hand it over to law enforcement.
I doubt it, most likely just bluffing to get money from paranoid vendors/buyers
Its an address book. Think about it
do they really think it's a good idea to upset multiple people who are scary and probably have scary connections? Yikes.
Even if you think you're "safe", it takes only one small slip up to find yourself taking the room temperature challenge unwillingly at the end of someone's weapon.
They have a lot of money all they have to do is change identities and go to a new country and retire.
I don't doubt many would want to get rid of them, but again, they'd need to find them first.

youtube is doing its best to suppress your videos but i still watch
After all that bs, do you even trust them to remove your info if you payed them?
They might be lying and the messages were actually encrypted and were automatically deleted, this is just a money grab.
Think about it, their reputation is already lost, might as well scam one more time. No need to release anything to the authorities, it's actually a lot of extra work. If I were them I wouldn't bother.
@@25566 yeah, I considered that as well. They very well may not that shit but yeah, why not take a stab at extorting a even more money, nothin lose.
No honor between thieves anymore!
It's very shocking anonymous criminals steal money. Who would have thought. If you can trust criminals, who can you trust?
They already probably made so much money cuz any successful place makes hundreds of millions so i dont see why they’re harming people like this for no reason its just going to bring unnecessary heat cuz its illegal to extort anywhere
Can't believe they'd break the law
Uh oh, they broke the law 😡
They don't make hundreds of millions, only a few million. Let's do some math. Let's assume that the average order is $100. Now Incognito mentioned that they had 557k orders. They charge 2% fees on order. That 1.14m dollars. Let's also assume that they were online for 100 weeks and had a linear amount of orders through (just to make the math easy.) If the average order stays in escrow for 2 weeks before being cashed out, then that means 2/100th of the all time 557k orders were in escrow at the time of exit scam. Or 11140 orders, meaning the exit scam netted them 1,114,000. Plus some people falling for the exit scam late and whatnot.
In conclusion Incognito probably made over half their money from the exit scam, for a total of ~$2.25M based on $100 per order. Once/if they release the dox the math would be much easier to calculate, if the average order is $200, then they probably made $4.5M, the average order is $500, they probably made $6.25M. But I doubt the average order is much more then $100, most people just order for personal use.
@@Mental-Diff it’s not even about that lmfao, if I was a drug dealer who made bank and I just got busted and I posted on let’s say my Snapchat story that anyone who’s ever done business with me will be ratted on in order to help me get a lighter sentence unless they pay me to not say anything, am I the asshole or is it your fault for using me as a plug? Think about it. It’s bs anyway you slice it and a ton of people are trying to dox him so if that happens that would be one for the history books. I don’t really care cause I’m not affected by it, I dont shop on marketplaces I just occasionally like to browse dread every once in a while. I’m afraid to ever make a purchase cause I feel like so much can go wrong.
Money loves more money but even tho extortion is illegal any country would be licking their lips for level 5 vendors
Escrow sounds a lot like escroc in french which means scammer 😂
A smart contract can automate escrow transactions.
I feel like the "bitcoin server going down" just days after BTC hit an all-time high is a pretty damn good indicator lol
Sad Bohemia also went down. I lost some money due to the exit scam :(
Just don't do drugs kids
Here after they just said it was an "April Fools day prank"...
There really is no honour among thieves.
