Were people scammed out of their cryptocurrency? The site went offline earlier this month. What actually happened might shock you.

  • An arrest was made on July 5th. The suspect allegedly committed suicide while in custody shortly thereafter in Thailand.

  • The U.S. Justice Department announced today that a joint operation between the United States, Thailand, Lithuania, Canada, Britain and France was successful in seizing computer servers.

  • FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe said AlphaBay was ten times larger than Silk Road.

    Read the article on Zero Hedge today about this. Said they seized millions of dollars of Bitcoin. I'm glad they didn't drag crypto through the mud the way they did when Silk Road went down. Crypto has nothing to do with this, people do. Thanks for posting this brother.

    I will go check out that article on Zero Hedge. I wonder how they had their Bitcoin stored. Bitcoin doesn't deserve anymore labels than it already has in some circles. I am liking today's price increase. I am up over 40% on one purchase and 26% on another. There's still speculation that phase 2 of SEGWIT is uncertain and the potential hard fork is still in play for the November 2MB block increase. If those are taken out of "play", then it's back to buying again.
