Watch the tracking of the sheep marketplace thief in real time

[hilariousandco]

Keep in mind that he stole from a site full of drug dealers.

And drug users. Don't know who I'd be more scared of haha. How did they find out who he was?

[bryant.coleman]

i posted it a few days ago in a different thread.. his name was tomas something, and he had a picture of himself grabbing a girl's tit. for your information, his gf had a pretty nice rack  

i think he deleted his account, since it's showing "page not found."

Got it. The guy's name is Tomáš Jiřikovský and his girlfriend is Eva Bartošová. But they are claiming that someone is trying to frame them and they don't have anything to do with SMP.

whoa, so the admin was doxxed.. if someone else could find out his identity, i'm sure the FBI knew about him already as well.

here is his facebook https://www.facebook.com/nadsamec

this guy has a lot of money now, but he's also fucked.. so many druggies and vendors are pissed and want their damn money back. LOL do you guys see his profile pic? he's grabbing the girl's tit in the 3rd picture

they both deleted their accounts.. too much heat. they are probably figuring out where to run to now  

then again, if it were me and i was truly innocent, i'd still be scared as fuck.

Naturally. I suppose it is possible that they have been framed or somebody got the wrong person, but I haven't seen what evidence they have against him.

The evidence against him is overwhelming:

1. He owns the hosting service for the sheepmarketplace.com VPS server

2. He was the earliest known promoter of SMP (1 February 2013), and recommened SMP & BMR over Silk Road (11 April 2013)

3. He is a C++ QT Nette Framework Czech developer who runs Ubuntu, exactly like the SMP developer

4. He has complained about the memory demand of `bitcoind` on a VPS server, and discussed the difficulties of functionality like email from hidden services

5. Tomas or his girlfriend are active users of Tor, as evidenced by screenshots of their computer

6. It’s not clear what Tomas’s current job is, but it is clear that as of October, he was working on an e-commerce site which was having problems with buggy accounting of deposits

7. He posted a .htaccess file which has the same (buggy) functionality as that of SMP

8. He is an accused Bitcoin scammer

Oh haha. So the guy who stole the money actually runs/owns Sheep?

Some coins seem to be on the move again right now !!!

Just a few minutes ago he moved 1,000 BTCs to another wallet. This one seems to be very old... probably associated with an exchange or something like that...

Detective AJAX reporting, did you mean this guy?
The one on the left has a bigger rack IMO

Haha was gonna say that. Somebody photoshop her hand grabbing his mantit.

[Bitbuy]

If he does coin-mixing (more than once) will it be possible to track him?

Most likely, yes. It's impossible to use a coin-mixing service for this amount of BTC (correct me if I'm wrong)

[HASS2WEB]

 Hope he chokes on a fish bone!!

Good job Ajax!

Now things are clearer... He probably stole those coins to get himself a breast reduction surgery.

Well he's got the money for it now. He's gonna have to change his appearance or disappear completely. Fatty better get running.

I wonder what this kind of crime falls under legally? I mean, he stole dirty coins from a blackmarket site. Are the police after him?

Well... the police can investigate only if someone makes a complaint... right? And the complainant has to be a Czech citizen as well.

The site was illegal... who is going to file the complaint?

It's always the last person you'd ever expect... or in this case the first..

[Cryddit]

He can get bitcoins out, but he has to do it just a few at a time.

Send ten coins into a mixer, let them get mixed up with a hundred other coins, get ten coins out....  Wait a while for the mixer to give away all of your ten coins to some other reprobates, send them another ten.....  

Or he could gamble in small quantities on SatoshiDice;  He'd be swapping the stolen bitcoins for other bitcoins whenever he won, and getting rid of them to other people whenever he lost.  By the time he cycles all the money through SatoshiDice a few times it gets pretty untraceable, and SatoshiDice gets maybe 8% of it.  

But this only works for getting a few coins at a time laundered, so it could take a long time.

I don't know if the website is illegal per se, but 99% of the stuff it sells is haha. Maybe somebody who just used it to buy kinder eggs or alpaca socks could file a complaint.

I wonder if it was this guys intent to steal coins all along, or did the power/greed just corrupt him? At least owners of other sites will probably think twice about stealing now.

The reddit postings answer most of these questions. The guy is pretty much screwed. He has been tumbling, but best bet would be to mix a very small amount of the coins through some alts, get enough cash to live quietly for a few years, and leave the bulk of the coins alone. He would be better off to give them away, and hope that he can live.

He's screwed because by now there is probably no way the btc could be returned. He's screwed because he has presumably pissed off some people that won't hesitate to interrogate him slowly. Since this sum is an aggregate of many people, even if someone physically catches up with him and beats the private keys out of him, that next party will be the target.

Unless he can quietly disappear, he will be found in a ditch eventually.

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.
