While amusing it probably isn't particularly informative.

A person like that obviously has extremely poor operational security and is therefore of low competence.

Competent actors likely utilize virtualization or in cases where the software is adversarial and may reveal virtualization, physical machines (eg. cheap Mini PC's) with isolated and managed networks (eg. connections routed through a commercial VPN or a residential proxy) not under the control of the machine.

Also styxmmarket doesn't appear to be in any way a dark web marketplace/forum. It doesn't even have an onion address? It has a .com domain, something that should be easy for the authorities to seize. Probably is a honeypot of some kind.
