I love this mystery and I’m so grateful for it.

Growing up we had DB Cooper and Deepthroat - interesting and compelling stories but those guys are famous only for being anonymous. They didn’t really do anything special.

But satoshi…

Sorry but what is "Deepthroat" - I only found p0rn underneath, what is the "Deepthroat" story you been growing up with? Obviously aware of DB C.

and banksy!

That’s no secret anymore, is it?

That's news to me! What did I miss?

His identity has been known for quite some time. His first name is Robin, and he used the alias Robin Banks for a while, which eventually became Banksy.

But also Banksy is something of a collective effort, with people like 3D from Massive Attack apparently occasionally collaborating.

"Banksy" is now a group of artists, but the original is believed to be Robin Gunningham. He is named as a co-defendant in a lawsuit against Pest Control (the company that sells and validates Banksy art).

Thanks!
