I've been a very busy boy. All day, we've been chasing the scoundrel with our stolen bitcoins through the blockchain. Around lunchtime (UK), I was chasing him across the roof of a moving train, (metaphorically). I was less than 20 minutes, or 2 blockchain confirmations, behind "Tomas".
He was desperately creating new wallet addresses and moving his 49 retirement wallets through them, but having to wait for 3 or 4 confirmations each time before moving them again. Each time I caught up, I "666"ed him - sent 0.00666 bitcoins to mess up his lovely round numbers like 4,000. Then,all of a sudden, decimal places started appearing, and fractions of bitcoins were jumping from wallet to wallet like grasshoppers on a hotplate without stopping for confirmations.
Shit!
He was tumbling our stolen bitcoins a second time, and a tumbler is unbeatable....
Unless you guess which one it is, nearly all the coins belong to the person you're tracking, jump in with him, and get jumbled up through the same wallets using the same algorithm. I was hopping from foot to foot shouting "come on!" at my laptop, waiting an age for 6 blockchain confirmations to get 0.5 btc into "bitcoin fog". My half a bitcoin got sliced and diced through loads of wallets and I followed the biggest chunk with blockchain.info - along with 96,000 stolen ones!
I chose the shortest tumbling time - 6 hours - and my half a coin plinked back onto my android phone in dribs and drabs, sparkly and new.
I think he's asleep now in the czech republic. When he awakes, he will see my "666" next to his 96,000 stolen, freshly-laundered bitcoins. Along with lots of insults attached to fragments of bitcoins that I hope you are about to send here:-

Now I've GOT to sleep. I've just chased a thief through a washing machine for you
****EDIT 04/12/2013 the cash has moved continually for days,and I've been chasing it, pulling my trousers down,and depositing 0.000666 into each cash pile above about a million dollars i've found, any empty accounts that I think were important hubs,and a couple of 10 bitcoin "spending money" wallets he uses.
Here is the wallet that I've been chasing him with. Note the balance. He still hasn't given me my bitcoin! He's some kind of sucker for punishment. its cost him millions and uncovered the albion marketplace booty. The most expensive bitcoin in history.

Click the filter to select payments,then you only see my red arrows. Follow the ones that end in 666. You will find yourself standing in a cavernous wallet next to millions of dollars,with doors leading to others. ****17:20GMT,weds 4th Dec.

Its the input trough of a tumbler. If you follow the largest chunk,you catch up to "ZERO CONFIRMATIONS" eventually, but its not him.its a mincer / washing machine. If you do it at night, there is a recombined cash pot at the end of the rainbow. Or you can follow a chunk until it starts to get smaller quickly.Then do "taint analysis" and select "reverse taint". You are halfway through the tumbler, and "reverse taint" can see the output pots where the money has stopped moving.
(When you or I tumble a few bitcoin, it does a better job because it takes somebody else's 2 bitcoins from last week and sends them through as ours. But sheep has too many to do that). Listen to blockchain classics while you follow the money. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9n3XUUqFFk
