But who the hell is KrayzBoy32@gmail.com doing this transaction? Let's ask google...Oh, he was behind 7 proxies, so we don't really know.

There's no way of identifying the person reliably, if s/he doesn't disclose a name.



> he was behind 7 proxies

Using proxies seems like the digital equivalent of using middlemen for cash transactions. If I use enough middlemen it will be really, really hard to identify me reliably. Any differences I've missed?


Just that it doesn't cost anything to use proxies whereas middlemen generally take a cut from the transaction in real world.
