Could he not just return them? It's an interesting story to follow for sure. All I know is this guy isn't ever going to be able to spend many of the coins at all.
No. He is too greedy for that. Right now he will be probably thinking about allying with the Cosa Nostra or the 'Ndrangheta. He will give them 50% of the coins (worth somewhere around 50 million USD) in return for his LIFE.

If I was him I'd give 99% of em back and do my best to disappear completely off the grid. I'm talking log cabin in the middle of the woods off the grid.

Good point. Allying with larger criminal organizations could save his life, if he could trust them. They have many institutions in place to move money already, for generations. I was just initially considering him trying to get away with it, on his own.
As far as returning them, I don't know how good of a bookkeeper he would be, if you were planning on taking the money and run.

TOR network guarantees the maximum amount of anonymity possible. Even then these people could trace him (I don't think that he really expected that). So no use in fleeing to log cabins. As long as he lives in this planet, these people will get him. Now, it is only a matter of days.

but i wonder if the criminal orgs would just torture him until he handed over ALL of his bitcoins. why not, anyways? he's a wanted man, by both governments and druggies.

I would've thought any decent yet unscrupulous criminal enterprise would just lure him into a false sense of security by offering him protection, then as soon as he gives up some of his wealth, take it all. They could quite easily torture the rest out of him, kill him, then he truly will have disappeared and so will they. He can't trust any one and he's gonna be looking over his back for his entire life, and it's his own fault for being greedy.

It seems that the guys in reddit have close the tracking. A message was posted in r/SheepMarketplace saying "Any posts containing personal information of any kind will be immediately removed". Some of the earlier posts were deleted. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Wrongful accusations can ruin peoples lives, and in this case possibly get somebody killed or tortured. If they get the wrong person I hope they're prepared for big lawsuits.

It was almost established beyond doubt that the Czech guy Tomas was the one who stole USD 100 million worth of BTCs. The evidence was so overwhelming. I think the online tracking process is over and the drug vendors are planning their physical actions.

As quickly and certainly as he was identified, and considering how long the police waited to arrest him, I'm really fairly surprised that he's still alive. MANY people lost much more money than murder for hire costs. Any one of them could have had the disposition to "recoup or avenge" his or her loss.

Perhaps, like DPR, they hired a random Anon claiming to be a R&W heavy?
