Inside Alpha Bay
The illicit online marketplace Alpha Bay was a hub for illegal trade, generating nearly $500 million annually. It served as a platform for anonymous transactions of prohibited items, such as drugs and weapons, through a sophisticated and seemingly legitimate interface. Alpha Bay played a significant role in the global drug trade, shifting the focus from local to international dealings by adopting a model similar to Amazon for unlawful products. The permanence of one's online identity poses potential risks, as past actions can resurface in the future. Thailand's lack of interception laws has made it a target for hackers worldwide, who exploit this loophole to carry out cyber-attacks without repercussions. Bitcoin is commonly used for anonymous transactions on the dark web, offering a level of financial secrecy not achievable with traditional currencies. Alpha Bay ensured end-to-end anonymity for illegal transactions, utilizing PGP authentication for privacy-centric account registration. Initially known for selling stolen data, Alpha Bay eventually became synonymous with the drug trade. It is crucial to exercise caution when engaging in black market activities on the dark web in Thailand, as law enforcement agencies work together to combat illegal operations within the country.

The 60 Second Servant ©️. Content Warning.
This kill had to be done in 60 seconds, and recorded for the payment. This was an easy task. The setup was in play. I was the Wheelman and the Poi was a thief better known as Johnny Rocket. (I'm sorry, Poi is *Person of Interest*). Johnny was widely known as a ruthless bank robber in the small towns of European Cities. He would enter the bank, rob at gunpoint and then exterminate the teller and beeline to the getaway car with an experienced Wheelman. He was never convicted, and that was remarkable in this circuit of crime. His previous job was at a random bank in Bogota. Unknown to him the bank was Cartel owned. He never had a chance from the minute he went through the bank doors. First off, he didn't research this heist enough. No one escapes the Cartel. Well, needless to say he hit the bank and killed the young female teller and got away. The problem was the teller, a niece to the Capriano Cartel's underboss, whom he had executed. Stick a fork in Johnny, as he is cooked. Now by cooked, I mean walking Deadman. Still no damn clue as to what he did. In his mind it was just another payday. Johnnys’ ticket was punched from the moment he stole from the Cartel, let alone killing the underboss's niece.
