  I wonder how many people know the guy– and know he's actually Banksy. You would want to keep that group pretty small.

  The "great artists get really really rich' part of the above sign makes me wonder how he is paid as 'banksy'. He would to have representation from which the galleries worked through, right? So there are at least a handful of people in the management company that know his identity, and his accountant, etc - maybe a larger list now that I think about it.

  Will he be less famous when his identity is confirmed? Is the excitement and popularity solely the mystique? Curious, since a number of artists have pretty accurately reproduced the stencil style w/ social or political messaging - passing it off as Banksy.

  • He could have one or two close friends that deal with galleries, accountants, etc. He doesn't need to direct contact with those people.nb
  • I imagine a lot of people in Bristol know who he is. They don't spoil it because they aren't miserable assholes.nb
