The Day Alpha Bay Crashed: How One Slip Exposed a Dark Empire

A marketplace that looked like Amazon sold AK-47s for $500, lab-tested cocaine at 75% purity for $40 a gram, and a UK passport for any name - all on Tor. For years it moved hundreds of millions in cryptocurrency and was ten times the size of Silk Road; so how did its anonymous architect finally get unmasked?
In this episode, we tell how Alpha Bay grew from a small market for stolen digital credentials into the largest criminal marketplace on the dark web, how its interface and seller feedback system normalized illicit trade, and what single operational mistake left the crucial evidence for investigators. How did one decade-old email account become the break that brought down an empire?
