Have to be honest, I'm surprised how little effort it took to 'unmask' him. Usually when people try and find out the actual identities of anonymous internet celebrities, it becomes a sort of investigation where they have to put all the pieces together.

But that doesn't seem to be the case here, unless the story is missing a few steps.



Was he unmasked, or did he just voluntarily disclose his identity? Seems like he went to Bloomberg and offered them a scoop.


The story is missing a few steps.


We would really love if you published the piece, an extended version with all the gory details perhaps, that you wanted to but did not! Pretty please with 2 cherries on top!
