The two Reddit users, ‘SheepReloaded2’ and ‘NodManOut’ have become heroes on a subreddit dedicated to tracking the thief. But there is just one problem (for the thief): His haul is so huge it sticks out like a sore thumb whenever he tries to launder the money.

Its hard to clean and sell more than 4 or 5 btc at a time,’ SheepReloaded2 says.”
