I hope the info is wrong, it has happened before with him, but this one looks like they might have figured him out. Part of what makes his work amazing is that he's been able to pull it off anonymously, all over the world, for all this time. I think him being ID'd would ruin not only his ability to continue doing that, but also the mystery that surrounded Banksy. - cmiper

If only this were a surprise. Living in Bristol in the 90s (big UK cities in general actually) meant you came across an awful lot of 'trustafarians'. It's a little unfair to say they were all former public (elite) school boys but it was a common and not unjustified predjudice. - mattpovey

if it *is* him -- hats off to him for having kept it a secret this long! that and deep throat and you've got a great window into the functioning of "networks" in our society. ;) - joshua fouts
