Dark Web Drugs Vendor "YVS" Indicted

Grand juries in Pennsylvania and Columbia indicted a Pennsylvania man accused of distributing large quantities of drugs through multiple dark web marketplaces under the moniker "YVS."

According to court documents, Jacob Blair, 25, of Pennsylvania and his co-conspirators distributed large quantities of counterfeit oxycodone, Xanax, and Adderall pills throughout the United States. Blair operated vendor accounts on multiple dark web marketplaces including Tor2Door, AlphaBay, Nemesis, and ASAP.
The two-count indictment filed in Columbia accuses Blair of conspiring in the distribution of the counterfeit pills through multiple dark web vendor accounts under the usernames "YVS", "Colorshifting", "YourVendorsSupplier", and "YVendorsSupplier" from at least May 2022 to February 16, 2023.
On Tor2Door, YVS claimed it was “a syndicate of professionals that specialize in making the best products the markets have to offer." YVS fulfilled approximately 459 orders on the market. On ASAP and Nemesis YVS completed at least 534 and 406 orders respectively. Blair also made sales through encrypted messaging platforms such as Wickr.
The investigators reportedly established that the oxycodone pills Blair distributed contained fentanyl and metonitazene. While the Adderall pills contained methamphetamine.
The indictment also accuses Blair and his accomplices of laundering the bitcoin and monero they received from the drug trafficking operation. Blair used accounts on cryptocurrency exchanges such as Kraken to cash out the proceeds of the operation.
The three-count Indictment filed in the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges that Blair attempted to possess over 100 grams of a mixture with a detectable amount of a fentanyl analogue; possessed with intent to distribute over 40 grams of a mixture with a detectable amount of fentanyl and methamphetamine in 50 grams of a mixture; and possessed with intent to distribute over 400 grams of a mixture with a detectable amount of fentanyl.
On February 24, 2023, FBI and DEA agents executed search warrants at a storage unit and residences associated with Blair. The search resulted in the seizure of approximately 10,000 suspected fentanyl pills, raw powder in plastic tubs, a pill press, and 11 firearms including an AK-47 and AR-15. Blair was subsequently arrested and detained.

He was arrested because he used Alphabay , NOT because of kraken , he is not stupid enough to send crypto straight to his kraken wallet . He used Alphabay LE trap with I2P (Alphabay i2p script is a trap to uncover your real ip adress .) Beware vendors .

How do you know the AlphaBay i2p script is a trap?? I thought i2p was encrypted end-to-end?

There's no way to encrypt end-to-end without client-side javascript

Cashing out through Kraken is dumb dumb dumb since they have to provide feds with access to that ledger to get under compliance to allow monero to be exchanged there. They'd see the amounts of monero being transferred in and swapped to cash, what exactly does anyone cashing out like that expect to do when the IRS asks where the fuck you got it? If alphabay was fed compromised they'd have access to vendor withdraw records and could match the amounts up with kraken ledger of incoming monero to easily unmask identity of vendor. Its the stupid vendors who make themselves low hanging fruit that get popped.

BangBang... Bull. He used exchanges to cash out and also requested withdraws directly to his personal wallet from marketplaces. Between that and wickr deals, it's no wonder he got caught. Way too big of vendor to be making street plug mistakes... Between his laziness and his fubar gear I'm glad I never used him

The amount of paranoia and FUD in these comments never cease to amaze me. Alphabay hasn't even existed for months now and this guy just got arrested on the 24th. Come on man, common sense.

>There's no way to encrypt end-to-end without client-side javascript You can always tell the ones that don't know shit about tech. The main I2P router is written in Java, but it has nothing to do with Javascript, which is something completely different.

If you don't know you shouldn't be vending. Sounds like you use Kraken to cash out in which case you made yourself low hanging fruit by providing at trail straight to your RL identification dumbass. Time to clean house if you've got two brain cells.

I don't think that the Eep script for AB is a honeypot, but I'm not so sure it isn't guys. A week ago, I got a letter in the mail from NewDimplez, a printer piece of paper saying something about AB site having problems, and asking me to contact him at protonmail. Dimplez1 disappeared at one point, was selling BTH, then came back as NewDimplez on AB and saying his other account was hacked or compromised. Then the letter in the mail. LoL I am DONE. House is clean, and been having UC LE following me around town when I go to work or home. Thank goodness the house is clean.
