Can someone please fill me in on the Sheep Market arrest

Hey guys. I remember sheepy market doing a runner with a shit load of BTC ages ago. I also remember the 'apparant' admin was doxxed. I have now seen today he was arrested in march? does anyone have any more info on this?
Back when it was all going down I saw his dox and his f/b page but was always unsure if this ws him or just some patsy. Any way he seems like a fucking itiot the way he tried to cash out.

Please I want more info.

if youve read the article about how he was arrested im not sure theres much more to add, he bought a house in his grandads name, which alerted authorities to where he got the money from, then he got arrested

Check out the links documented by /u/gwern for more details:

Haven't heard any real updates since, though...

You could ask /u/karelb for updates. It's possible that not much has happened since; I get the impression that the wheels of the law grind extra-slowly in many European jurisdictions.

It was the same guy whos facebook page was doxxed, who finally felt the handcuffs click.

I'd like to know what's happened to defcon. Isn't he getting life imprisonment fir committing identical crimes on an identical site. The idealistic utopian gets life, and the thief gets off.
