First legal shop I stopped in the clerk asked me, “what kind do you usually get?” My response: “whatever the guy has.”
Right! walked in that ish like “yeah can I get a dime”
I was confused as hell. There was a board with a kabillion choices, like a fast food menu.. They said the same to me - what do you usually get? Whatever the guy has. It's been legal in Canada for a few years. Nothing bad has happened. I swear its the big drug companies that are trying to keep it illegal in the US. I get 2 vape cartridges - one to keep my back pain down but not make me too wasted. The other knocks me out at night. All non-addictive and as effective as the handful of pills I used to take every day. ..

You've convinced me to properly take the plunge into security. Just wanted to let you know your podcasts convinced me. Thanks dude.
Security is def the way to go .market it right and you’ll be on top pretty quick .can I ask you one question because you dnt have one .WiLl you use you tube insta etc etc they might have changed by now but it’s one off so many ways off kick starting you’re buissness .
Insta has made me the best amount off sculpting work and custom jewellery ,but the fall off this last 12 month has been fast real fast but where there economy’s failing there’s opportunities out there for all off us .I have two ideas I think could make me a multi millionaire I’m gambling every penny I’ve saved for the last ten yr .
So goodluck with you’re buissness ideas and life .peace
@crosshatch . Good luck
There's a ginormous NEED for Cyber Security in the U.S.. They need hella people and that career category is so open that all the old timers can't even retire because no one else wants to do that for some reason!!.. Goodluck!

But also remember to English
Just throwing this out there, from tne TOR project website
"Generally speaking, we don't recommend using a VPN with Tor unless you're an advanced user who knows how to configure both in a way that doesn't compromise your privacy."
I always wanted to start a podcast like this but I am glad I didn't because now I just get to enjoy the stories without putting in the research haha. I hope you do well! I love the visuals too.
Epic laziness, why not just help him instead?
Pocket Casts reports that Darknet Diaries was the 39th most popular podcast of 2020 for Pocket Casts. Darknet Diaries is doing extremely well :)
@pseudo I imagine these youtube uploads are something of an afterthought, and the original releases are elsewhere?
Ans now you also don't run the risk of being investigated by any branch of government for your sharing knowledge of information that most people don't know that they don't even really want people to know! 🤣🤣🤣 Some scary shiit to think about lol and at least now you don't have to worry about your door being kicked down in your sleep... Unless, unless it's a robber 😱😱😱 LOL nighty nighty sleep tight! 😂🤣🤣
👁️
A+++ content! You should add video to the RUclips uploads. Even just a slide show of Alex while you're describing him is worth 1,000 additional words
This is so accurate I was surfing every one of these markets at some point and everything here is very accurate and it makes me giddy to hear the stories I watched unravel in life told to the masses.
Agora much?
I'm too spooked from stories like this to ever visit. But I'm curious. Care to share what type of activities you engaged in on these sites? Any success?
Yea I remember, Black Market Reloaded and Silk Road 2, my bank account was frozen by the bank fraud team because they wanted to know why I was transfering money to slovenia and then recieving thousands back, trading bitcoins ;), ah the good ole days.
I remember days when taking off the latex gloves was a beautiful relief
@@mainlinemitch Was this AFTER you did the Prostate checks on men all day at the office?.. Yeah I could see how taking the gloves off after that would be such a relief and your hands could breathe again!!
I moved from Kansas where weed is still very illegal to Oregon where it's the opposite. I still get anxiety buying it at a shop and having it on me. Don't feel comfortable until it's in my house and even then I try to hide it even though it's not a big deal here. In Kansas they will ruin your life if you're caught with any amount.
I don't smoke
As soon as I realized the servers had been cloned I would have instantly closed shop and jumped on the first plane to Antigua or Cypress. In fact I would already have been living somehwere with no Canadian or American extradition treaty. It blows my mind that all they did was move the "not so hidden services" servers.
Whaaa
where’s cypress?
It’s the greed and power, makes u sloppy
The way you tell these stories from life is just, so oddly soothing to listen to.
Also, not only should you have a separate computer, that computer shall never ever be connected to the same network as any network you work on and preferably only to a non GPS equipped GSM router and only used far far away from where you live and never go that secret place with anything that can be tracked in any sort of way.
And regarding social engineering, I know of a few hackers having done some odd stuff that is only possible in the country I live in... And they might be interested talking about it to you. Caught and sentenced served for it so no secret, but still quite an amazing way of social engineering...
Can you give any examples here?
@@birdflipper Not sure if you mean the wireless router or something else to give examples of?
@@amritrosell8561examples of social engineering
I appreciate how you mention the laws in different areas, and don't just assume we all live in USA and know all the rules at there. Great podcast and channel.
Wait..you don't live in the US??
@@mikeissweet guess what buddy, there’s people outside the US…
It doesn't matter to us where you live. This is Team America: World Police and we have jurisdiction over the entire planet and if your country thinks its sovereign we'll just bully, sanction, assassinate and overthrow you into seeing things our way.
I love your aesthetic. For years I've been trying to achieve something I like with black and red. You nailed it.
Any one eles get weirdly paranoid listening to this at night? I'm such a chicken 🤣
Yes like we are on a list now for watching & 2 lists for the comment 😂
NEVER USE A VPN WHEN USING TOR 1:15, please update this into the description or comments or somewhere
TOR is a government honeypot and the myth that it should not be used with a VPN is so the government wont have to work harder to catch you.
Please explain why
Depends how you use it, which vpn pro ider you use, and what your goal is. If you want to hide yourself from the servers you're accessing you shouldn't use VPN over Tor, but Tor over VPN is okay.
this is the best channel on youtube, i find myself here every night
When people thought bitcoin was untraceable....on a public ledger.
So many unnecessary mistakes were made, unbelievable. They should really step up their op sec and/or hire propper software engineers.. one can just hope, that other people learned from these mistakes.
Lmfao they won't. They all fuck up eventually! Always happens unfortunately!!
its foolish to believe alexandre cazes made such a silly mistake. They tell us that bullshit because what happened is, they got a 0day or some exploit in TOR...
I feel like m using the internet differently
Great work keep it up! Lots more tales from the Darknet deserve to be heard such as the mysterious death of Barnaby Jack
So am I on the Daknet now
Whose that
"If you do wanna be anonymous and conduct massive illegal activities online..."
I stg, I thought he was gonna break into a surfshark ad.
How do I get the job of being the guy who gets to think of witty op names for the government
Also the ytcracker episodes pretty dope ...im diggin his music thank you for showing me nerdcore!
Nerdcore! Love it 😍
Been listening to yt for a decade. Which episode is he covered in?
Yoo I planned on shopping on aphabay but backed out last minute,crazy to see the behind the scenes
So glad I stumbled on this channel, I wonder if it’s on Spotify
It is
1:50 To be fair its been said multiple times that they believe Alex was just the fall guy for the operation and people had always elluded to the fact of them being russian based. Alex got caught but he was also not the sole fouder. There was another admin who was on the team and had an online presence on the forums and some of the subreddits who goes by the name of DeSnake. Who also happens to be of russian orgin after diggin into his persona and if not from russian he is from a soviet union era country lol. Not only do i believe the fall story as alex made quite a few opsec mistakes that a true market operator wouldnt be making.
There is also a reason DeSnake didnt get picked up when they went after alphabay and if you notice they seem to kinda leave his name out when talking about alphabay its like they are downplaying his role and hoping that people forget about him something. Not only does he have great opsec he is also an incredible market programmer and it was because of him that alphabay was where it was. He was able to make sure the markets were always online and running smooth and efficent he even helped program or maybe even just him but eitther way they created an anti ddos program which allowed the market to be online during a time when markets were being knocked offline multiple times a day and some were completely unaccessable for days or weeks at a time and the only way they were able to have some up time was to pay the hackers an insane amount weekly ( we are talking north of 15-20k a WEEK for a market to operate and he had multiple under attack) until they developed that work around and then other markets even began to employ their ddos shield.
So not only did he make sure the markets run smooth he was also the one that coded the market from the ground up which was another reason alphabay was harder to attack and hack then other markets as most at that time used kind of a cookie cutter setup so when they were able to exploit one market they could then use that attack against mulitple others that were just rearranged clones. Also a few months back DeSnake redid alphabay from the ground up and literally started from a fresh slate and introduced the market both as an onion address and he coded the market to also be able to run on the more secure ip2 network as well. the market also still has the same rules that apply to any hacking or malware as they did before.
The rules dont allow any products or services that would attack any countries that are in the russian federation if thats the right organisation i may be wrong on that name but basically Russia and any of its currents buddies (old USSR and still wish they were). Between him being a key individual in the market behind the scenes (they were aware of how much DeSnake did and how key he was for the market to run they had tons of communications between them when they siezed all of alex things) and he was never really investigated and as far as i can remeber and tell they dont even actually know who the person behind the screen name even is and all that leads be to believe that they are fully aware that connection pathway if they followed it would terminate straight in Russia. DeSnake was smart and let Alex think he had the reigns and played off his want to be CHAD persona thinking he was player and pimp and shit he knew that alex craved attention so why not let him. its the same thing El Mayo did with El Chapo... let everyone sing his name and praise him and dont mention me because they are going to go after the one making the news and rumors. Once they were getting close Desnake backed off and they were on to alex.
Once they siezed the site and got alex im sure Desnake was sitting in russia laughing to himself. He took a few million and went on vacation for several months while the media was having a frenzy with alphabay and its "creator" or its "leader" who was captured and then eventually commited sucidide. He knew the people he was partnered with are serious people and they would go after his family if they thought he snitched so he took his life to protect the life of his wife. All the media buzz dies down and some other markets broken up through being busted or exit scamming and once the heat has finally cooled off we get a notice on Dread with desnake confirming his identity (some still think its fishy and he might be law enforcement but he make a new market from the ground up and he was also never picked up or anything and with him being in russia he has absolutly no worries about outside Law) and saying that he was restarting alphabay and he would be recoding it from the ground up. So as of this moment [May 5,2022] Alphabay is fully functional and chugging along,
You can create an account in a matter of a few minutes and be ording in under 10min if you know how to setup PGP. So im confortable believing the story that Alex was basically a paid fall guy, killed himself to protect his wife and kid and probably have them taken care of for life, real owners let the source code go said fuck it and took a vaction until all the heat died down and the world moved on from alphabay. Came back and programmed a whole new market from the ground up completely in house and its deployed both on TOR as well as ip2 and chugging along like nothing had happened. Law enforcement arrested exactly who they were supposed to. Its all part of an extremely well thought out plan. Shows how good the person that organized the program is and shows hes playing chess while LEO is still trying to figure out how to set up checkers.
Facts brodie 💯
Interesting. Everything you said lines up with other things I've read.
i beleive what you said
You know a lot. I’d say you know too much. And have too many opinions tied to all of this. Be careful.
Do you wanna make the video bro?
@JackRhysider Hey man, just wanted to say that you are hands down my favorite youtube channel. I love the subject matter, the artwork, your excellent radio voice, etc. I am extremely picky when it comes to consuming anything on the internet so thank you for making something good enough for the picky ones.
When I first started listening to your podcast, I thought your name was, “jackry cider” lol
very underrated channel.
Dopest intro ever 👏
Random comment, but there's an amazing 3D effect with the video visual.
Keep your OPSEC list handy
Sounds like the feds where having fun with all the dope in the beginning... Lol
" boss , we..uh..we need more heroin * scratches neck and nose * we..uh...need more clues. " * falls asleep during conversation *
That’s what I get from this also . These guys don’t know when to quit when your ahead .
Agora- from Greek meaning "gathering place" or "assembly"; the Greek equivalent of the Roman forum, a public gathering place which often served as the main market in a Greek or Roman city. Also a Portuguese word meaning "now".
Mad respect the person who decided to ban Panthenol
Op-Sec has no downtime, it's everywhere, any time, always, towards everybody
Ts is my fuel man, thanks for the motivation and stimulating my brain
Idk who does the artwork for this channel but props to them. Scrolling through the episodes I am blown away.
I would like to listen a story from you about HYDRA - the most popular darknet drug store in post USSR countries, which was recently shutdown
Just say no
Did you say fire up a VPN and then connect to tor are you trying to get people arrested
Yeah; the fact the dispensaries in CT expect you to know the type, potency, hybrid, etc., as a Gen Xer, I’m like “I’m used to getting whatever is in the little baggie for $20 when I was in high school and college.
Theres underground flea markets in Hartford that have way better prices than corporate pot
This my 2nd fav episode ...cam the carder my #1
Thank you for continuing to produce such amazing content. Your awesome!
Heyyy
You would have to live in a siberian forest with a laptop to successfully run a dark market. Lol
You think so? It's been done multiple times by different markets who eventually exit scam. Walking away with billions in currency isn't success? Without spending a day in jail or on the run??
@@edgybarbie77 😳
Thank you for this episode.
Just found your channel recently, love the content and the amount you upload!
Even his name sounds cool!!!
Told you cripto isn't anonymous...and if we all start to use it it's easy to then know everything and control everything about the ppl ...your anonymous until you get one connection and poof
States do have the right to rule themselves.
Funny how 230 applies to Twitter but not Silk Road or Alpha Bay. I wonder why they don't use that as a defense.
I love Twitter my account blew up
Just found your channel. Amazing content! Hope you gets all the subscribers
I use a Tor Browser within a virtual machine. So used to Kali Linux being my vm. This and Joe Rogan are my favorite podcasts.
Also, never use a VPN while using Tor Browser.
I don’t see the downside of using a vpn before connecting to Tor.
toe rogan is brainwashing you
@@h..h that makes no sense. That’s like saying anyone who wears a mask is “sus” because they are probably a bank robber.
@@Cured_Ham that's fine if your browsing but best practice is using tails
@@Cured_Ham Well, that's not that far off.. and it seems to become law in the EU in the future. To our authorities you are sus, if you try to hide something, as they are the "good" authorities and therefore you can trust them. There is always the st*pid argument, that you do not need to care about privacy, if you have nothing to hide. Better get used to this kind of authoritarian tendencies.
Ep. 104 referred me back to here, and this was incredible. I feel sad for the lady and her child.
BRO VPN IS ONLY GOOD IF YOU IP IS ALSO CHANGING. I think it’s a dynamic IP addresses but not for sure.
Guys should check out barely socialible he as a similar video topic.
I love these stories. It brings me back to my hacking days. I hacked games and software when I ran a BBS.
Any recommendations on how I can start? I really want to learn.
Should we have a true free market where alphabay products can be available for purchase by anyone, in store?
Dutch High Tech Crime Unit (DHTCU) could actually spell “Dutch”. Sadly the acronym wouldn’t work, would’ve been a great name.
love the intro.. great videos
I dont think he killed himself. He was swapped with someone else and hes free now. he blatantly had 1/4 of a billion dollars minimum, that could buy every guard in the whole prison, what would the govenor say if confronted with 10 million.. >? lol, you know that guy hangin by a towel was a lookalike.
This is a really good video man!
Heres what i dont get, why dont these people operate from countries that cant extradite?
hell yea! another episode!
Super underrated channel
You know that alphabay is back. From one of the old admins. Thought u fight wanna know.
Arguably, using a VPN with tor is actually less safe than using tor alone.
Brilliant!! Thanks Jack 🙏❤️
I love that the message of the video is, maintain opsec + get out while you can. Because people are gonna people anyways.
Love ya jack!
Bro you lost me at fire up a VPN to connect to TOR lmao
There is absolutely no benefit to using a VPN while on tor and it actually introduces several risks. Bad advice there.
Exactly.
Also he said Bitcoin was anonymous and it is not.
@@aiwass6863 exactly all bitcoin transactions can be tracked
Is there a Tor apk?
Brother was in a 900k lambo but only bought his wife a mini cooper 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good content, thank you
I met this guy in Bangkok, he used to drink in a bar in place called Sammakorn. He wasnt well liked. Seemed very odd.
Dude, that Ross guy got life in prison because he was guilty on intending and successfully killing someone with an assassin he hired, which both the assassin and target never existed
Do you mean that the feds staged both the target and the assassin and convinced ross to buy services or do you mean that they made the story up and ross never attempted that?
@@schrokittyschrokatzerl1050 Right because those murder for hire charges had to be dropped. That was a narrative put out by the feds. At the very least it was entrapment but I don't put it past the feds to make up the whole thing. Notice how many comments are wrong about what he actually got LWOP for. That's because people believe everything the feds & media put out. A simple google search lets you know he wasn't convicted on any murder conspiracy.
That's bullshit bro.
Both of those FBI agents that set that up were also convicted for hiding bitcoin. Ur repeating a lie.
@@nickysantoro9194 Why is that?Ive heard the conspiracy he was setup but haven’t see enough proof to believe it.
Yo quit snitching jabronie!
Great vid
The first part of this podcast has aged well, since the federal hemp farm bill essentially legalized THC-a but NOT THC, so now you can transact illicit cannabis on the regular internet. LOL
his 2% comission is worth nearly half a billion dollars at the moment
just watched mobman
Using a VPN before connecting to TOR will allow the VPN to see everything you do. Unless you made and hoste the VPN don't use one.
Free Ross!!!!
Excellent marketing for the darkweb drug marketplace
😂 it doesn't need any marketing
This story is sad, but there more to it u should have focused a Lil bit on how he was obsessed with pickup culture and being a "alfa male" that's why it was called alfabay
For real? I never knew that. Learned something new today 😎
Alphebay is still the go to for drugs fym
its addressable public infrustructure.....no one can stop breathing in each others breath and farts, not even fish.
I think it was totally worth it! On a death bed, when it’s time to ponder on what you achieved in your life, what will your answer be?
I tried my best
"I gave people the ability to sell/buy materials used to rob others blind, murder others, and I made it easier for addicted drug-users who need help to kill themselves slowly over time... Totally worth it!"

Great episode, I'm not sure why the FBI feels entitled to seize assets all over the world, yeah right, Muuurica F yeah! World's police.
🎶 America 🇺🇸 fuck yea! Here to save the mother fucking day yea! 🎶
If criminal conducted operations in usa, they are entitled seize their profits made illegally from usa citizens
The US government is the largest criminal organization in the history of the world.
@@cud0s I call BS. What happens, if for example the Police of the Czech Republic calls the USA on crimes that made profit from their citizens? Right, nothing.
@@5Hydroxytryptophan If a person did a criminal offence in Czech Republic then it is likely they will be extradited and their assets will be seized.

I know these dark web guys like to think that they're super smart, but they're really kind of dumb. You have multiple server problems at the same time that they're just happens to be this ridiculously over the top accident outside of your house? It's like a badly written spy movie. I'd be out the back door in a heartbeat and I would have everyone of my devices set up for self-destruction
No brother the dude from silk road thought he was putting hits out on people that he previeved as a threat to his freedom. That's why they gave him all day without an out date and no parole.
I don’t understand why the host of the show would encourage people to do things that are illegal
Yes

Use tails
Awesome
Bro, that introduction, the last sentence was brutal 😮
What happened to evolution owner? Did he/she ran away with the money scot-free?

13:37 and then they finally chilled for the first time with all the bought stuff
