Darknet Market Noobs

Create new market accounts for OPSEC? All help appreciated

Saw a story here about someone who got a letter to their house in the UK where ROCU (those who caught connor pardoe) had traced their orders back on a market over the last 24 months. They couldn't work out if it was to do with the Social Pharma bust, but had an inkling was.

I mainly use Dark Matter and have done for a couple of years now with probably 40 or so orders in total. Is there any sense in starting fresh every year or so? My opsec is decent but could certainly be better. I buy Solana on Revolut, move to Nexus (a wallet) and then send that off for exchanging to Monero on Trocador which I hold in Cake wallet. All orders are PGP too.

Does anyone have any ideas how this guy would have been caught/where people normally slip up? I just use a mac with a VPN on Tor also which could be worth mentioning

Cheers

Pretty sure its recommended to get new accounts every 3 months or so, or sooner if you do a lot of orders

Recommend changing accounts fairly often, and as for your opsec, depends on your vpn i feel like. If you have a good trustable vpn that you pay for, itll be a lot safer than a free vpn that makes money by selling your data.
