$98.3 million worth of bitcoins stolen, hacked from from Sheep Marketplace

[Instrumentalist]

Apparently he can't cash in yet, because people are tracking his internet movements. But if he were to cash in, what would that do to the value of BTC?

There's a £60m Bitcoin heist going down right now, and you can watch in real-time

Nothing appears for me? Am I crazy?

Bitcoin Thief Steals $100 Million on Sheepshead Marketplace | New Republic


This article explains it too.

I bought another gun today, and almost 17K rounds of ammunition.

Just sayin.

No honor among peasants.

"Sheep Marketplace"

How ironic...

On the Silk Road forums many were skeptical of using such a site with a stupid name. The lesson here is to not trust entity's with mediocre names with your Bitcoins! The Black Market Reloaded was even their which was much more trusted but these idiots had to go fuck around with the "Sheep marketplace"...

Carry on my fellow gay webmasters :liebe028:

All those peasants begging for BTC.

And apparently everyone on the internet suddenly contracted cancer:

Gotta respect the hustle, even if it's scummy.

So basically this thief just has to keep laundering the bit coins until people get tired of watching him and then he can cash out? Can he just create thousands of accounts and then keep shuffling them around?

I've seen 5 addresses containing nearly $400m. Makes me wonder if this scam/theft is just a smaller part of it.

Yeah, I remember reading a reddit thread that was talking about over 900k+ coins. I think it was you that linked to it, actually.

Possibly - I did mention about this heist the other day. Might have been then.

 

[harrymouni]

people chasing him through the blockchain (look at me pretending that i know what i'm talking about!) are wasting their time. so they keep tabs and find his last address that's transferred to mt gox or bitstamp or whatever. are they relying on the exchanges giving a shit and releasing his personal details just because an internet mob claim it's stolen? are they going to go to the cops and say their virtual currency that they were using to buy hard drugs was stolen, please help me catch this criminal?!

this guy is in the clear.

 

[microphone head]

I doubt any of them will get their money back, but I somehow think this chap will be found.

Some of the SMP dealers have lost quite a lot, and one posted that most of the $90k he lost is owed to the nasty people he buys from, and he's almost certainly a dead man.
How much of that is true is anyone's guess of course.

 

[dmnEPC]

seems like a good way to setup an exchange owner.

 

[microphone head]

And how do we know bitcoinfog or whatever tumbler they used isn't involved? That would be an easy way to siphon the money off surely? By being the tumbler taking your commission on each tumble? Or am I missing something here?
