Another online drug marketplace bit the dust over the weekend and another massive Bitcoin heist shook the deep web. Sheep Marketplace, one of the two most prominent Silk Road competitors, went down on Saturday in the US. A message posted briefly on the site on Saturday claimed that one of Sheep Marketplace's vendors exploited a security flaw and stole 5400 Bitcoin (BTC), or $6.3 million at its current value. The heist could be even larger than that, though; it may have involved up to 96000 BTC ($112.1 million), which would be by far the largest Bitcoin theft given that Bitcoin's value is currently at an all-time high.
