(again, I am not commenting on either mr. Jiříkovský or Sheep, I am just translating)

Serious question for the Czechs here: what is this 'fanpage' term that keeps getting used?

Isn't "fanpage" an English word, too? Fanpage of some game. Fanpage of a band. He actually uses the word "fanstránka" which is a non-word in Czech, taking the word "fanpage" and translating only the "page" part.

If you use the term "fanpage" in here, it just means that fans make a page about something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fansite - exactly like that.

This is either being translated badly or Tomas has some very poor sysadmin ideas or he's just bullshitting.

It's exactly translated what he said. Almost word for word.

Tor je základní součástí bitcoin peněženky kvůli rizikům z napadení serveru. Větší směnárny a jiné služby používají Tor, aby se vyhnuly útokům z venku.

Je - means "is"; "základní" means "basic"; "součástí" means "part"; "peněženky" means "(of) wallet"; "kvůli" means "because of"; "rizikům" means "risks"; "z napadení" means "from attack" (he actually uses incorrect Czech here).

"Větší" means "bigger"; "směnárny" means "exchanges"; "a jiné" means "and other"; "služby" means "services"; "používají" means "use"; "aby se" means "in order to"; "vyhnuly" means "to avoid, to mitigate"; "útokům" means "attacks"; "z venku" means "from outside".

Oh. OK. That is not a proper use of a word "Fanpage" then. A regular use of the word would mean what you say.

Thank you for the translation. I'm sorry to hear that you may possibly be facing legal issues.

Also, I posted the rebuttal Tomas and his gf posted on facebook before they deleted their pages, it contains your information. Let me know if you'd like me to delete it.

Thomas...whats going on buddy... If nothing else you certainly are a dickhead. I don't know why you'd bother trying to explain or clear your name in such a way. Either take the money, run and hide or show us why you couldn't be sheep Admin and responsible for this heist affecting so many. . Thomas, something to keep in mind. If you plan on stealing again, don't steal from thousands of individuals whom collectively have links to just about every Crime organization on the planet. But yeah, i'd kill him just in case.

From all pointed here, you had pretty good reasons to point your finger at this guy... After reading this, not sure he's not involved, maybe as a freelance developer, as part of the scam and probably making money on the BTC side of the operation.

Like, sheep was obviously to make easy BTC. But they need to do something with all this BTC...

Anyway, whoever it was, will die early from aneurism or heart attack. Good luck surviving the paranoia that will consume you.

Eh, kill him anyway just to be sure

Either way, i think somebody will end up being killed over this. Thomas might think he's innocent, but vendors will stop at nothing if its over money.

[–]RivieraKid[S] 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I think it's almost certain that he's the (co-)author of sheep. The question is whether he stole the money.

[–]Der_Aussenseiter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He pretty much bullshitted his way out of the accusations in the interview, and wont even acknowledge some of the information. Yeah, signs are saying he was at the very least partly responsible.

[–]Big-Baby-Jesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would totally suck if you had to hide from thousands of drug dealers, and didn't even get to keep the millions of dollars. He sounds guilty as hell in the interview. But if he actually stole the money, then he's an idiot for even doing the interview.
