Not entirely sure why the MGM Grand darknet market has Krebs On Security mentioned and linked at the bottom of their homepage, but there it is.

A few crime sites I've seen have JavaScript warnings. Having your site linked is probably a non-consensual appeal to authority. Recommend a cybersecurity journalist to give users the illusion that they take security seriously to overcome FUD. -
@briankrebs if you’re doing shady stuff, you want the best security advice you can get.

Okay, please ignore my tinfoil hat. People are saying this is a honeypot. You're really good at piecing together information about criminals. If those people are right and this site is actually run by the feds, wouldn't it benefit them if criminals visited your website? You said the information you used to narrow down the identity of that one crypto scammer became available when some website admin doxxed all the accounts associated with his cookie. I'm assuming you have admin privileges on your own website, obviously. You can see all of that, too, right? When someone connects to your website, you can see their external IP address, information about their browser (like their user agent and whatnot), etc., right? Do you think that maybe the feds are trying to make it easier for you to track these people? Or am I overthinking this?

@briankrebs It's been there for a bit, but looking at your other posts with some showing concerns of this being a phishing url is incorrect. You're using the correct link which comes from: http://ngemgrlhmdqi3zsgscjgjrbwpietxf3kbwjfzrarb4h6f3nimjsiu7yd.onion/
