Hi,my name is Thomas Opperman. I am the PR manager at Bitcoin Trader. My Facebook account is 100006261707339@facebook.com. I have "met" Michael Brandenburg on Skype and I am an employee of BT. The reason for the anonymity of John Carley, Michael Brandenburg and especially the traders is because of security. They all want to minimize the risk of being hacked. The "normal" rules of internet safety gets stretched just a bit to ensure the safety of our clients money,but in extreme cases extreme measures must be taken. We understand that people want a "face" they can trust,but the security factor is the main reason for the anonymity. In the time I have been with BT I have been attacked 3 times because people think I have in some way access to the funds(which I don't). So imagine what the effect would be if the people who do are announced to the public?I hope this is an acceptable answer,but feel free to comment or contact me.

Bullshit. Bitstamp creators Nejc Kodrič and Damijan Merlak work with much larger amount of BTCs than you and they are real persons living a few kilometres from my place in Slovenia. And they don't get hacked, because they made all the security measures when designing Bitstamp. So could you.

Pianoguy,that was their decision from the start,and they feel safer that way. If you are holding on to other people's money,would you not also take every precaution you feel would help?
