A more mundane but highly plausible theory is that BadVapCom is an elaborate cryptocurrency scam. The site creates the illusion of a illicit marketplace. A user attempts to buy a "service," sends $100 in Monero to a generated address, and receives nothing. The transaction is obfuscated by the nature of the cryptocurrency, and the user has no recourse because they were attempting to engage in illegal activity anyway. It is predation upon predators.
