Science Has Discovered the Hidden Identity of Banksy
Scientists used a method usually reserved for finding serial criminals and identify the source of infections diseased to pinpoint the location of the elusive artist, Banksy.
Using the statistical models below they used the geographical locations of Banksy's projects and ended up finding a strong correlation with one person in particular.
According to the BBC, publicly available information such as addresses or places he went to led scientists to Robin Gunningham, a man suspected of being Banksy since 2008. A co-author of the study, biologist Steve Le Comber, told the BBC, "What I thought I would do is pull out the 10 most likely suspects, evaluate all of them and not name any… But it rapidly became apparent that there is only one serious suspect, and everyone knows who it is."
