🧵One week after an international task force captured Alexandre Cazes, the shadowy figure behind the Alphabay dark web market, their quarry is found dead in a Thai jail cell. But the operation is far from over. wired.trib.al/2jzkQN0 1/15

When Alphabay went dark, rumors instantly began to swirl that the site’s administrators had pulled off an exit scam, taking with them millions of dollars of the market’s cryptocurrency. Few suspected the truth. 2/15

Alphabay’s biggest rival, Hansa, began to see massive spikes in new registered users following the bust – Alphabay refugees, as many as 7,000 a day, not knowing that they were walking directly into a trap set by the Dutch police. 3/15

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
