They keep referring to Banksy as "he." We don't know if Banksy is male or female though, correct?

    As far as I know that's correct, nobody knows who Bansky actually is.

    ... Is what I was going to say.

    What astoundingly serendipitous timing.

    TL:DR

    First posted on the 13th, picked up by other media roughly 6 hours ago, Reuters released a special investigative report, and they believe Bansky is:

    ... are you sure? ...

    Robert Del Naja, the frontman of Massive Attack.

    Small correction:

    SpoilerThey actually go on, in that Reuters article, to say it isn't Del Naja, but instead David Jones. The Del Naja bit is kind of a red herring. David Jones, formerly Robin Gunningham, as long suspected. The Wikipedia page has already been updated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banksy
