-
最新报道：According to Bijie.com, Czech police have arrested Tomas Jirikovsky, founder of the darknet market Sheep Marketplace, on suspicion of bribing former Justice Minister Pavel Blazek with 468 BTC (worth $45 million at the time) to evade prison. The case directly led to Blazek's resignation in May of this year. According to local media outlet Deník N, Jirikovsky unsuccessfully attempted to escape via a rooftop during the police raid. The Czech programmer was sentenced to nine years in 2017 for embezzlement, drug trafficking, and weapons trafficking, and was released on parole in 2021 for good behavior. An investigation revealed that he profited at least 1,500 BTC from operating the darknet market. Furthermore, according to Arkham monitoring, the funds involved may have come from wallets belonging to another darknet market, Nucleus. Experts point out that this case further demonstrates the strong traceability of Bitcoin on-chain transactions.
