I wonder how many millions in cash is stolen every day in similar schemes.
Well, watching drugs inc episodes apparently ripping people off is a viable business model in the drug industry.
You got the distributors and dealers of good dope, dealers of crappy dope, then the dealers that sell fake dope, the dealers who steal dope from other dealers to sell, and the gangs who just rob dealer stash houses for the cash and whatever dope is on hand.
So, an online 'marketplace' specializing in illegal black market goods is no different than maneuvering in the real world black market, it isn't too hard to get ripped off in either world.
I imagine if they stole $12mil in bitcoins that is but a fraction of business that went through there, just a snapshot of any one day.
