Based on the interesting comment below (found in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88486.0;all)

The following address is managed by GPUMAX.

  • 1PSf86KnLuzM7Ris5kDhTEZwooR3p2iyfV

-pirate

I went did a little blockchain detective work using this little
tool I wrote: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88584.0;all

Outcome: the address above can be linked to a cluster
of 1046 other addresses that all provably belong to the
same person, and some of which have non-zero balances:

What have we learned ? Not much, except for the fact that pirate
controls non trivial amounts of coins, at the very least BTC 32353.3 ...

That's on the order of USD 200k+ ...

And that's probably only the tip of the iceberg.



Which goes to prove, again, that bitcoins are not anonymous. They lack this one ingredient to truly be like "offline" money.
