~~As far as I know that's correct, nobody knows who Bansky actually is.~~
... Is what I was going to say.
What astoundingly serendipitous timing.
https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-art-banksy/
TL:DR
First posted on the 13th, picked up by other media roughly 6 hours ago, Reuters released a special investigative report, and they believe Bansky is:
... are you sure? ...
Robert Del Naja, the frontman of Massive Attack.
Small correction:
Spoiler
They actually go on, in that Reuters article, to say it isn't Del Naja, but instead David Jones. The Del Naja bit is kind of a red herring. David Jones, formerly Robin Gunningham, as long suspected. The Wikipedia page has already been updated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BanksyI'm going to go with 'Aha! I did an intentional misdirect!'
... yep. Mhm.
(cough)
derp
The article was fun to read, so I fully accept that explanation! ;P
