On the morning of July 5th, on the Bangkok street where Alexandre Cazes lived, half a dozen undercover agents waited for their cues to begin an elaborate sting. The goal: To take down AlphaBay’s boss once and for all. 🎨: @hogingkim wired.trib.al/QvOioV8 1/14

In a war-room across the city, agents and prosecutors monitored video-feeds of the scene. At the center of the long table was a conference phone connected to both the Thai team on the ground and another team of agents in Lithuania, tasked with imaging the AlphaBay server. 2/14

But before the team in Lithuania could finish their work, they accidentally crashed the AlphaBay server. It was now only a matter of time before Cazes realized something was amiss. The moment he closed his laptop, triggering its encryption, the operation would be over. 3/14

After months of hunting the boss of AlphaBay and following him around Bangkok, an international team of law enforcement agents hatch a plan to finally catch the target. The challenge: catching him with an unlocked phone and open laptop. 🎨: @hogingkim trib.al/WhLNkGp 1/14

In June of 2017, a team of Thai cops arrived in Sacramento to finalize Operation Bayonet with their US counterparts. Together, the agents began to grapple with the practical details of raiding a careful dark-web kingpin, one who never worked outside of his home. 2/14

Capturing Alexandre Cazes with an open phone and laptop was paramount. Luckily, DEA Agent Jen Sanchez realized they could see exactly when Cazes was online thanks to his daily activity on the pickup artist forum he obsessively frequented. 3/14
