According to the indictment, the way the site worked was people would pay to view abuse images using "points", and points could be obtained by either:
— Pwn All The Things (@pwnallthethings) October 16, 2019
a) ~$300 in BTC for six months of access
b) Uploading new abuse images
c) Referrals
So designed to actively encourage new abuse
This is a vast takedown of a really huge child abuse imagery distribution website. Eight terabytes of abuse material seized; 337 arrested and charged, leading to the rescue of at least 23 minors being actively abused in the U.S., Spain and U.K. https://t.co/MnBmW5r1eF
— Pwn All The Things (@pwnallthethings) October 16, 2019
250,000 unique abuse videos recovered from the site; @NCMEC *still* going through them over a year later, but of the analyzed ones, 45% were new, and the site boasted over a million downloads.
