He's Ryan Selkis, a well-known Bitcoin blogger who leaked the original Mt Gox insolvency documents. This could be wrong, however he has the best track record so far.


This persons responses to other people is not encouraging to say the least.

His recent tweets have made me question him as well, however he's had a large number of threats over the past 24 hours (for allegedly destroying an impending a buyout of Gox by leaking fraud, which if true would have cost Gox patrons money). I think he's just wrapped up in it, and maybe a bit scared.


Inviting somebody from Twitter to your physical address in order to assault them with a baseball bat doesn't seem "scared" to me.


Guys. Read the context of Ryan's tweet. He's replying to a tweet in which someone threatened him: https://twitter.com/Tiraspol/status/438872266596569088

Ryan is saying he will defend himself. Self-defense is both legal and IMHO honorable.

Perhaps not, but it's indicative of the mindset of the person behind the pseudonym.
