It starts with xanclan, aka /u/thegentleclan_DNM in this post trying to scam druggies.

Original post:

xanclan here to explain..

wow. so first of all i want everyone who still had direct deals in processing to contact me for a full refund, please include the day you ordered along with other relevant info and i will be happy to more than reimburse you. i feel really bad about that and want to apologize for leaving you guys hanging, hopefully you understand. I have already reached out to a few of you on here and provided full refunds including a little something for the trouble.

second of all i want to dispel all of the rumours that i was busted and that my operation was compromised a while ago, i can assure you the xanclan/Thegentlemen_dnm operation is completely safe and free from any type of law enforcement whatsoever. one thing I have always taken very seriously is my opsec. and now for the explanation (without giving out too much personal info as i wasnt the only one involved) for my sudden absence and basically disappearing off the face of the earth is that basically i was in an life threatening accident that rendered me unconscious and in a hospital bed for the better part of 2 months. i am doing a lot better now, im still adjusting but i have a long way to go before i am fully healed, but luckily i have had the opportunity to expand my team since my recovery so i wont be without help, because i definitely plan on getting back into the rhythm of things, as these hospital bills were not cheap.

i am currently sitting on a good amount of AK 4mg stock which was left over from before my disappearance, primarily hulks, X2s and a 2.5k pack of yellows. i plan on fully figuring out the current situation of the xanax game while i sell these and decide who my next go to supplier will be, as i can see things have changed a lot.

now some of you may wonder why not just start from scratch with a new vendor name? i worked very hard to build the xanclan name reputation off of trust and genuine kindness and respect for all customers and community members, along with complete transaparency. that isnt something i can just easily throw away. Im extremely glad to be back i really missed this community and would never forget all it has done for me, and I hope to easily transition back into the way things were before. if anyone wants to chat about any questions you have you can contact me by email or wickr, unfortunately i dont have access to my old accounts as reddit has banned one , and memory fails me for the password to the others.

wickr: thegentleclan

The email and wickr above are throwaway, so no doxxing here.

Next we have an official follow up post by the scammer trying to do an AMA. This was also deleted by the /r/xanaxcartel mods trying to save face. It should have been the end of it, scammer scams a sub and sub mods try to bury it and look forward to running their sub. Peace right? Nope!

We now have the scammer /u/thegentleclan_DNM posting in /r/darknetmarkets in a thread trying to explain the scam

Quoting OP:

i guess the mods at /r/thexanaxcartel deleted my initial post right after i posted this, i bet i could have kept that up for another week rofl. heres my initial post below that drew people into it, incase any young social engineers want to take notes. can we making scamming (wasted) money for drugs to charity some type of trend? id love to start that.

Our hacker is apparently into "social engineering"

social engineering is what i do for a living, this was just a project i was bored. who says i dont make the world a better place on my free time? Im no saint, im an asshole actually but not your average asshole.

Did /r/xanaxcartel users actually get scammed? Did the scammer xanclan really get $1100 and brag about it? Has the DEA known about this all along and just waiting to apprehend xanclan?
