This was an interesting piece into the process of catching a relatively clever (at least at first) criminal. And also some useful info for any budding master criminals...

- Live in a top floor apartment

- Regularly video call your inner circle of admins so you know they're not feds

- Use a VPN to disguise your country when connecting to the admin panel of your dodgy dark web bazaar

- Don't post any personal quotes in your signature, and don't re-use handles across sites

- If you try to have somebody whacked... don't write down the details of the transaction on your laptop!
