Yesterday, the Dark Web site, Sheep Marketplace, an anonymous digital drug market that became very popular after its closure Silk Road, announced that he had been the victim of a robbery. According to the website, 5.400 disappeared bitcoins, equivalent to $6.000.000 at current prices. Then the website disappeared just like the bitcoins.
The administrators of the website announced on their home page that one of them suppliers, under the alias EBOOK101, had discovered he had exploited a bug in the system that allowed him to get the bitcoins.
"The seller discovered a bug in the system and stole it 5.400 BTC – your money, our savings, he took it all,” it says message of Sheep Marketplace.
The announcement mentioned only the fact without mentioning anything about rumors circulated on too many websites and claim to be a fraud set up by the managers themselves.
Making money in digital alleys and illegal shopping is not the safest.
In this anonymous free market, a matrix essentially, there can be no legal recourse for violations. Each user is anonymous and transacts with an anonymous currency. This makes it very difficult for law enforcement to find out the culprits with digital surveillance methods. Of course the movement of the crooks behind the $6 million theft was based on this very fact as well as the fact that the money came from drug trafficking. Who is going to go to the authorities to report that he was dealing drugs and had his money stolen?
