The authorities were ready to charge Alexandre Cazes, the man behind the largest online drug and crime bazaar in history known as AlphaBay. That’s when they discovered his other alter ego as a rampant womanizer—and hatched a more ambitious plan.
Cazes complained that because he never had a chance to live with his father as a child, he'd been denied masculine experiences until the age of 18. He listed these essential male activities with bullet points. “Using a chainsaw, driving a motorcycle, go-kart racing, approaching girls, changing a tire. All this stuff had to be learned from scratch,” he lamented.
Another autobiographical document the investigators dug up seemed to capture Cazes' lifelong feeling of being an outsider, smarter than most everyone around him but struggling to find his place in society. Cazes had filed an official form with the government of Grenada, another country where he was seeking economic citizenship, in which he described his work history.
What if, instead of merely arresting the admins, the agents commandeered the market? With one of the most active sites on the dark web under their control, there was no telling what powers they might gain.detritus of Cazes' private life could seem almost voyeuristic at times, Sanchez admits. But it wasn't merely a distraction. Occasionally, amid all his prurient and sordid posts, the investigators would find a gem of precious information for their case.
