Ross Ulbricht used his name directly in accounts linked to development of Silk Road. I agree with you that people will pretty much always slip up a little bit, but that example is someone that barely thought about what they were doing, not someone that slipped up.


So did the OP on this thread while giving advice on and advocating dodging tax.

I have some sympathy as I have the same approach to online identity (don't bother as anonymity simply isn't realistic), but if working for a company that recently had to flee US jurisdiction I'd be more circumspect about advocating breaking the law!

It's almost impossible to be anonymous to a nation state even if you try harder than us anyway, and most people slip up early and often - you won't know you want to hide from a state till it is too late in most cases.
