[PSA/Article] Alleged Sheep Marketplace Owner Identified in Czech Republic

In an update to the two-year-old story of the Sheep Marketplace, Czech authorities have identified what they believe to be the owner, after discovering him trying to launder the money. Sheep Marketplace was a deep web market similar to Silk Road which shut down in December 2013 after claiming to be the victim of a hack, but even at the time this claim was suspicious, because withdrawals had stopped as long as a week prior to the announcement.

This doesn't seem to contain any new news beyond what was in /u/karelb 's posts, does it?

I choose to believe that Vetro and Kimble were good looking like DPR though. Bonnie and Clyde style.
