I’m increasingly of the opinion that the entire “dark markets have evolved to use dead drops” article was total BS, and I regret tweeting about it.
For one thing, dead drops — as a means to distribute illegal substances — just don’t scale. For another, the article implies a level of criminal sophistication and organization that would make a James Bond villain jealous.
Like, take this whole paragraph from the article. You’ve seriously got distributors posting “honesty bonds” (their own capital) and it’s enforced by someone doing random testing? There are Fortune 50 businesses that aren’t this organized. opaque.link/post/dropgang/ 
My opinions on this are partially informed by @thegrugq, whose input can be summarized by the sentence “🤣”.
