I didn't know about that part but it almost seems certain it was him. I don't think that connection had been made before -- at least not that I saw. Maybe it was in a court document but nobody talked about it. One compelling reason why its likely him is the account name (mb300sd) is
associated with an email address tied to his real name:

The other is that he was at one point talking to himself in the Wall Observer thread

I may regret this in the morning, as it will cause some people to want to trade against me, but I feel that I need to put it out there. Bitcoin TA is heavily manipulated at the moment, by at least 2 parties. Be careful out there.
I think hes drunk like me

One thing's for sure, he was an entertaining guy. Cheers to Jimmy Z.
