It seems that if he actually was LE that he would not scam people. Why burn an intelligence gathering asset? So I do not know what to think really. His behavior does not strike me as something a scammer would do unless he is utterly incompetent at scamming, I mean why no go out with an everything must go sale or similar? His previous behavior strongly indicated to me that he was possibly LE, but I can not imagine that LE would burn their ability to further gather vendor addresses by scamming with their pseudonym. It may have taken a lot longer to link arrests to people who used vlads service, than it would take for people to stop using his service because he scammed everyone.
