Police said all evidence pointed to suicide. Authorities then confiscated more than Bt726 million of Cazes’ Thai assets. Nail on head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I think it's the opposite, they do work. That's why the FBI asked that the computer needs to be online when they take him. Or else they had no evidence, even though they had his IP address. Also saw this on another news site, "....Cazes' own carelessness apparently tripped him up - not the underlying security technology AlphaBay used. According to the indictment, he accidentally broadcast his personal Hotmail address in welcome messages sent to new users. And when he was tracked down and arrested in Thailand, Cazes was logged into the AlphaBay website as its administrator, it says. Cazes also used the same personal email address - <deleted> - on a PayPal account...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
