Most likely Alphabay has exit scammed since it's been down for 86 hours and counting now. You can't say fully, however if they did, then they ran off with millions of dollars worth of bitcoin and could care less. Any threats and further updates most likely will be made my fakes or people who want to cash in on the panic. If you held money on the market, it is your loss and you should move on. NEVER trust any marketplace or vendor, and I don't believe I ever recommended for anyone to use the markets as a wallet. Please be smart and use the darknet logically.
"AlphaBay users are fearing the worst after the world’s largest darknet marketplace went offline on Tuesday night and associated Bitcoin accounts were subject to huge withdrawals of funds. The site – which provides a platform for users to buy and sell drugs, guns and other assorted illegal items – is said to have gone down at around midnight, locking users out of their accounts."
