Gwern Branwen plays a notable part in this recent story about the demise of one ill-fated black market:

I wonder if this is a bit more publicity than gwern bargained for.
Is it the same gwern?
How many Gwern Branwens do you know of?
(Yes, it is.)
Well, "gwern" a name I'd only seen associated with our fellow poster, and from what I've read (related to his adventures with The Silk Road), it seems like he's tried to stay relatively detached from his real-life identity, so I didn't assume that this Gwern is also our gwern. Makes sense, though.
Gwern Branwen is not called Gwern Branwen, so the real-life identity is protected.
gwern is very active online and has been for a long time, it shouldn't be hard to dox him if someone develops an interest in that.
Oh, I see. Okay, this all makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for the clarification.
