I have mixed feeling on this. Transparency is important, but it’s also important to remember that not only did the government steal and sell the bitcoin they seized from Silk Road, but federal agents decided to do crimes on their own and steal some for themselves. We always expected that someone would eventually come around with a donation for Ross, and it’s easy to imagine why that someone wouldn’t want to be identified, whether it’s actually him or not.
