I predict ratting out colleagues, neighbors, even friends and family may soon become a part of our reality in the near future. Mind your OPSEC.

This guy was a scumbag, he shut down the market and stole money from users. Then he tried to extort more money by threatening to publish shipping addresses, as if they had any value.
