Alexandre Cazos was a suspected Alphabay Market server administrator and also a part owner. He was arrested on July 5th and killed himself a week later in a Thai jail. He was living in Thailand for the past 8 years after escaping Canada for various charges.
The Thai authorities in cooperation with the FBI and RCMP have seized over $12M, 3 cars (one of which was a Lamborghini Aventador, which in SE Asia can easily surpass $1M worth), a house and more. Alexandre was a company owner and server/network specialist, which his LinkedIn certainly points that he had the capabilities to run a Darknet Market.
Alphabay was run by multiple people, so we will never truly know exactly everything. What do you think happened?
It's sad that this LP700 got seized
"According to Thai sources, Cazes took his own life on July 12th around 7 AM, while he was still detained in a cell of the Narcotics Bureau of Bangkok. On that day, Cazes was supposed to meet up with a lawyer to prepare for his extradition back to the United States. Standing trial in the US under allegations of arms trading, narcotics trading, and operating an illegal marketplace is never a fun experience. In fact, Ross Ulbricht got sentenced to life in prison without parole for a similar project known as Silk Road."

It's sad but eventually all of these brilliant minds get arrested or are thrown in jail. Blow is a fantastic movie that showcases this lifestyle, but in the end it shows it's not worth it.

wow thanks for the news as I didn't see it anywhere. They obviously had enough dirt on him. I'm surprised the Thai government gave into pressure, but perhaps the deal was get him out and you can sell his stuff.

Hansa is where you want to be if you are an alphabay refugee but they have shut down registration for a while. DreamMarket is your next best option.

Hey man,
I was wondering. Do you use busy.org? Its steem blockchain website with Steemits content but better UI and additional functionality.
We could chat or something.

Look at all these people buying into the suicide pitch. Absolute bullshit. He was murdered. Suicide with a towel is an amazing feat...unless someone else is suiciding you. And as far as I know, only cops can suicide other people, my findings have shown. Very unique power we have given them. ...And by "we" I mean you.

It doesn't matter what we think, he's dead in the end. Chances of dying so early go significantly down when you're staying with more legal stuff. Doesn't have to be fully clean, just ya know.. he didn't know when to get out

There will be 5 to take his place, simple supply and demand. In the drug world there will always be more since there's billions of dollars on the line.
