Well, I guess that depends on whether or not people are going to pay 20k bitcoins into the supposed Bitcoin account of the purported unmasker, doesn't it?
Is unmasking this person really worth what basically amounts to $100k USD?

The worst things he's likely to face from being unmasked, given his targets, is a book deal, a handful of right-wing TV and radio interviews, and a sweet computer security gig.
Let's say you somehow manage to breach the account of The Jester on Twitter and also his wordpress account. Let's say you want to make money from this: what better way than to fake a reveal.
The only reason anyone is giving this thing any weight is because "he" wiped out his blog and deleted the twitter account. To me the supposed Twitter messages don't look very real, they read as if they're written by someone acting scared, but then maybe it is just as simple as his identity is known; it was inevitable I guess.
