Not Today, Satan!

I can’t post links yet, but saw this on Zerohedge. So shitty, but not surprised. You need to check out the full article the get more context. Thumbs up if someone can provide a direct link.

“Not Today, Satan!”: Ex-FBI Agent Finds Possible ATF Honeypot Website Operation Selling Glock Switches

Ex-FBI agent and federal whistleblower Kyle Seraphin has uncovered a fake Polymer80 website selling illegal Glock Switches (devices that convert pistols into machine guns), which he describes as a likely honeypot operation set up by the ATF.

“Have you ever wanted to buy an illegal MACHINE Gun DIRECTLY from @ATFHQ ?” Seraphin wrote on X.

If this is a honeypot operation run by the federal government—whether the ATF or another agency—its web developers should refine the website’s rough appearance; it looks rushed and clumsily mimics the now-defunct Polymer80 site. Notice how “Glock Switch” product is number one on the list, which tells you all you need to know about intentions here: entrapment.

Data from the Internet Archive website shows a snapshot of the original Polymer80 website from Jan. 2018. Notice the vast differences between the two websites. Plus, Polymer80 - now bankrupted - wasn’t in the business of selling switches; in fact, they sold 80% lower for AR platforms and pistols. Also URLs are different…

To the feds who are likely running the honeypot operation —tell your 23-year-old web devs from India to do better.

Zero Hedge tends towards hyperbole over facts.

I’ve been to the site in question (saw it mentioned elsewhere earlier today). It strikes me as just another scammer site similar to all the ones that popped up selling ammo and primers for way below legit-market prices. Looks like the scammers lifted some logos and graphics from the old P80 site and managed to get a similar-enough domain name.

If the Feds/ATF really wanted to do a honeypot site I bet they’d put more effort into it and not have Zelle and Bitcoin as payment options.

Let’s not post that link in this forum. I’ll go visit it right now and post some screenshots here.
