Someone who is not me said

"Noo, it looks like they exit-scammed. I had spent a great deal of time finding reputable sellers...now where can I get my illegal drugs in secrecy? *sniff*"

It's a sad week for the dark web.

So hansa was used by police to lure in and catch people from Alphabay. Interesting. This is the first I've ever heard of police doing that.
