LDR.jpgWho Knows until you try right? If you all see this post Upvote it and comment. Im a new user and just listening to the
NEW Lana Del Rey Album vibing out thought I would make a Blog post. Lets see really how powerful the internet and technology is. bitfury Island.jpg

Can anyone Guess whos Island that is? Ill give you a hint they did a Bitfury Bitcoin Conference there. What would you do with a Billion Dollars? Do you know whats really interesting I read this article about this Internet Drug Dealer who got busted for selling like a 1B$ in criminal transactions from like 200,000 users and 40,000 Vendors across the world-- with a specialty in drugs and fake IDS.

The US Department of Justice confirmed that they had Seized and shut down ALPHABAY. So your thinking what the hell is Alphabay? Alphabay was founded in 2014 by Alexandre Cazes, A 23 year old Canadian dude living it up in Thailand. He was listed as a "Software Designer " on linkedin. AC rip.jpeg

Honestly I was even going to talk about this but this is the direction that I just gradually transitioned to. Im improvising while im just typing away on my macbook air it is now 1:02am. Its funny song playing now is called "Summer Bummer" by Lana Del Rey feat A$AP Rocky & Playboi Carti. Its actually pretty cool song check it out now on iTunes!

Ok Back to this story.. Over 2 years, Cazes built AB into this like one-Stop shop for black market goods, where users used BITCOIN and an untraceable browser to purchase $800,000 worth of heroin, firearms, and illicit chemicals every day.

US authorities had been tracking AB for months, and they got LUCKY when Cazes left his email address Pimp_Alex_91@hotmail.com in the header of a welcome email he sent to new users ooops!

On July 5th he was taking into custody in Thailand on Counts including racketeering, narcotics, and money laundering, But before he could be extradited. He HUNG himself in his prison cell. Since then, the DOJ has seized his 23 Million in assets including $8.8 Million in Cryptocurrency, half a dozen Properties and his $900,000 Lamborghini.
