The Nemesis Darknet Market Takedown Story

☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆ Description ☆-----☆-----☆-----☆-----☆
#dread #tor #darknetmarket #nemesis #lawenforcement #darknet #darkweb
Today's video explores the dramatic rise and abrupt fall of the Nemesis Market, a major player in the Darknet space recently seized by law enforcement.
Once a thriving hub for anonymous transactions, Nemesis Market met its demise on March 20th, 2024. This video isn't just a recount of events others have analyzed; I was there, in the thick of it, communicating directly with key players and witnessing each twist and turn as they unfolded.
Our journey begins with the shocking revelation from the admin of Nemesis Market, who messaged me about the seizure. This prompted an intense investigation into the market's operations and its shutdown. I dug through encrypted communications, verified claims with PGP keys, and tracked down the legal ramifications faced by the platform.
But this video goes beyond just the facts. I want to convey the emotional rollercoaster that the Darknet community experienced - from denial and anger to bargaining, depression, and finally, acceptance. Each stage brought its own reactions, rumors, and speculations, which I meticulously document to give you a firsthand look at the community's psyche during such crises.
Moreover, we'll discuss the broader implications of this takedown. How does it affect the Darknet ecosystem? What does it mean for the users who depended on Nemesis for their anonymous dealings? And most importantly, what can we learn from this about the future of online anonymity and security?
As always, I value your thoughts and discussions. Please drop your insights, questions, or opinions in the comments below. Let's dissect this event as a standalone incident and a pivotal moment in Darknet history.

Great video, I always appreciate the quality you put into these. Regarding your conversation questions at the end: How did you come across the clearnet sites? Any cryptographic proofs that they are officially affiliated with NM? The skeptical side of me might imagine one of the onion hyperlinks on those pages navigating to a fake NM website. If not now, at some point in the future. If they're legitimate or officially affiliated with NM, perhaps just a way to get information out to a wider audience.

[@DoingFedTime]

Hello brotha! Thank you for the great comment. So, I always try to research in-depth. Obviously with DN sites, your typically not going to find shit, but due diligence is just that. No proofs, in fact the opposite, the signed message that I found was from another DNM admin! Yes, I absolutely anticipate that it was either a competitor or a phishing site.

[@AmplifyAmbition]

Can you do a video on signal? Or any other encrypted messenger app that you recommend? Or don't recommend?

[@JUST2tela]

dude great video you are getting alot better no bullshit the editing miss at 22:25-26 scared the shit out of me bro wtf really tripped me out

[@DoingFedTime]

HAHHAH oh shit nice catch!

[@YUAN_TAO]

As I watch this, just have to comment how much I appreciate your content. Thank you!😊

[@DoingFedTime]

Thank you Yuan Tao, I appreciate you talkin the time to let me know that you like it!

[@Akerfeldt77]

The pivot into legitimate, hard-hitting, non-biased journalism this man has made is pretty impressive.

[@gratefulwookie618]

This is why the only approach is treat all of them as if they're going to exit, at any moment. It keeps one diligent, but also, because there's a good chance they will exit at any moment. Crazy to me there's still many who so quickly put full trust into the platforms, yet weary of merchant. Yet (post-Tony76 debacle) that's hardly the case anymore

[@DoingFedTime]

You just read my mind, @gratefulwookie618! I completely agree with every point you made.

[@jamesrobert4106]

"The bookmark graveyard." What a wonderfully eloquent phrase. I still occasionally visit. 2015 through to 2018 was a remarkable, reliable time for the markets. Exceptionally high quality product, and outstanding admin. Since then, I have accepted the door has closed. It became nonexistent communication, missing orders and ghost admin. The shadow realm is a shadow of itself. May the glory days return.

[@mercedesc350e5]

Loving your content. Please keep it up. First found you from darknet diaries. Love your flow and insight.

[@DoingFedTime]

Thank you for letting me know how you found me, I have the whole interview here, united and about 3x as long.

[@QuantumlyImmortal]

You have been vital in my understanding and the risk and value of the darknet markets and the darknet in general. If your interested in how I came across your channel it was your review of Archetyp which was excellent and highly appreciated the straight forward non bias format of it. Thank you for your hard work and I am happy to see that even after having to serve time that you came back and turned it into something positive. Helping benefit not only yourself but also everybody else at the same time. 💯

[@Usmc913]

Great video yet again. This makes me want an Alpha Bay 2 video.

[@andyturbo]

Hi @doingfedtime thanks again for another wonderful video. You have been such a big inspiration to myself ever since first seeing your talk live and hearing you say how nervous you were due to your anxiety issues and public speaking. As a 35 year old who has suffered with GAD,SAD, Panic Disorder and Depression all my life (diagnosis between 16-18) I truely understand how hard it must have been doing that talk and even no doubt sometimes making KZbin content for us. I just wanted to say thank you and I really appreciate it as both a very active/interested member of the DNM community and also someone who suffers similar mental health issues as yourself. Regards, Andy

[@paullee107]

Thanks Sam! Appreciate the real news. I watch most videos - keep going brother!

[@DoingFedTime]

I appreciate that!

[@iamfinancesensei]

Amazing content as always!

[@DoingFedTime]

Big thanks, @iamfinancesensei! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@lukascxtt]

Let's give it up for @DoingFedTime for giving us yet another great video.

[@DoingFedTime]

Thank you! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it!

[@Rjekrn3k8]

Third love your content

[@Psychonut]

I don’t know why “Francis” seems like he’d be a character in the movie the departed lol Also I love how you call out the corrupt treasonous traitors from that 3 letter agency, and we all know they’re just a drop in the bucket. Good work bro!! Keep it up✌️

[@davegebbings7632]

Thanks Sam, Another interesting story.

[@DoingFedTime]

Much appreciated, @davegebbings7632!

[@GravityCreep-qd7ug]

I knew one person who used Nemesis exclusively, I'm not sure they had experience with past markets or not but i got the impression that had nemesis not been as easy to find on the clearnet they probably wouldnt have found it, foe me and most other people i know that have more experience Nemesis was a big red flag.

[@josephmooney122]

I love the memorial/history posts it’s pretty funny that we as humans do that

[@BobbyJohnstone-xq9iz]

If he is on the run why is there not a public warrant out for his arrest? Maybe he is just being paranoid or did they publicly name him.

[@ChrisHaefner]

Your pumping out the videos Sam!

[@DoingFedTime]

I'm trying to catch things as they come. Thank you for commenting! Always great to see you here.

[@valeriensies]

i remember i tried to get a tor link for some chat site and it gave me a nemesis market link 😭

[@DoingFedTime]

Bad hit there. I like daunt.link, tor.taxi, and dark.fail for links, if I don't have them, Of course this is provided that I cannot get the link DIRECTY in a signed message from the admin on Dread.

[@dark-webmysterious4922]

Yes the clear net sites is for ads. Nothing else. I have a question do you think 80% of darknet markets uses github? Also making a video on that will be cool.

[@DoingFedTime]

Not sure that's a good question, I think some of them are script markets.

[@wraithfvcker]

Some use GitHub sure, but in the underground, people prefer less known git services or tor based git services or host their own, if they use it at all.

[@xenostim]

lmfao I don't think orange is the most flattering for you 🤣. it looks like you're doing more fed time

[@Intent_to_distribute]

I like your content man, Im about to serve a 3-4 year sentence in the feds for drugs myself, wish me luck.

[@DoingFedTime]

Thanks so much for your kind words, @Intent_to_distribute! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video. Your support really motivates me to keep creating. Look, take it one hour at a time, set some goals before you go. Order books and look at my other self-surrender video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX3XqmaVe690eNk You can automate the sending of books on amazon to yourself once you know where you have to surrender to.

[@Intent_to_distribute]

Thanks for responding! I’m feeling optimistic about it, it won’t be fun but all things considered it will be ok. I’m going to a camp most likely, I didn’t snitch, my paper work solid, if I get lucky and 3 years, I may only do a year in prison and like 6 months half way house. Thank god for the RDAP program and for the first step act!!!! And yeah I’ve watched like all your videos already lol, keep em coming big dawg. And most importantly FUCK THE DEA

[@loc4725]

I realise you might not be in a position to do anything, especially as a lot of the information isn't out there but any chance you could do a video on how the various markets were uncovered and especially any security & OpSec mistakes the admins made?

[@BuzzChronicles]

other markets need to copy Nemesis price layout

[@user-bn6iv3iz8j]

The forum was pretty active the admin was pretty helpful all things considered although ive never ordered anything illegal it had some of the best vendors I've encountered. PGP should be mandatory for any market

[@DoingFedTime]

"Exactly, @user-bn6iv3iz8j! That’s the perfect way to put it.

[@rossbroschomb1811]

So where do we go now?

[@DoingFedTime]

Any place that will be safe for the next 10 minutes. :)

[@ret2libc0x90]

I'm really glad you only got a few years not a lifetime, So you could share your story with us. Is it illegal to go on dread just to look at whats on their? I dont do drugs or nothing illegal just curious?

[@DoingFedTime]

Nope, it's legal!

[@ret2libc0x90]

@@DoingFedTime Thank you so much, I love your videos ❤

[@JustAverageJeff]

There is only 2 reasons you use these markets either to buy or sell

[@densidste9137]

who stole the audio track.

[@DoingFedTime]

Motion Array.,

[@adamwallwork6120]

Those clearnet sites were phishing sites

[@mikeb1085]

Why would anyone would trust a darknet market to the point of going through the stages of grief? Its like dating a stripper and being surprised she is cheating.

[@mikeb1085]

You have scams on the clear net with real LLCs everyday that you can sue and ppl expect the darknet market with even less accountability to be equally or more trustful?

[@user-it8ps1yv3u]

I believe he does

[@pyromaniack13]

I miss BlackBank

[@jacobroddy7939]

Hey i asked this on a short too. Whats with the dude on dread talking shit saying you are a Fed and all kinds of shit😂. Wtf is his problem?

[@bunsen5355]

you are my favorite ex criminal

[@DoingFedTime]

THANK YOU!

[@user-cc8fq3dl8u]

dude u git some balls to say you u know hugbunter, the fed inormant, and use and trust dread. newbies dont fall for his crap, everyone know to not believe anything said on dread.seriously ask around,....

[@DoingFedTime]

The Department of Homeland Security tried asking me about him. They hate him. That said, it's common sense to not 'trust' anything on the darknet (hence the saying "DONT TRUST VERIFY"). That said, your statement is also true in the clearnet, in fact, 'not trusting everyone' is common sense. Feel free to email me though, if you have some VERIFIABLE info, I would love to learn more!

[@Mon3yManFlack0]

second!

[@fourtraxx3921]

My asshol hangs much looser after these recent exit scams
