“Two Israeli computer scientists who over the weekend published a paper describing a financial connection between the Bitcoin peer-to-peer transaction system and the operator of Silk Road, an Internet black market, have backed away from the claim after an independent security researcher took responsibility for the puzzling account that generated the transfer. According to Meni Rosenfeld, a mathematician who is chairman of the Israeli Bitcoin Association, one possibility is that the Silk Road service might have been run by a group, rather than an individual. This might explain why the F.B.I. has not been able to easily recover the additional Bitcoins.”
