This article is /deeply/ flawed. One of the more obvious things that stands out is that illegal drug purchases are /by no means/ a service unique to the Bitcoin economy. The major site for this type of transaction in particular also has a rather detailed feedback system. The lesson to be learned from Sheep Marketplace is /don't leave your money in someone else's wallet/. There's no requirement that people use an "online" wallet. Also, it was named Sheep Marketplace. Someone's definitely having a private little laugh at that.
