Banksy’s identity puzzle: Reuters ties him to Robin Gunningham and David Jones
TL;DR Summary
Reuters' long investigation claims Banksy is Robin Gunningham, now using the name David Jones, and ties him to Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja; it points to a 2000 NYPD arrest record and a 2022 Ukraine-related trail as supporting clues, but admits there is no smoking gun and notes that Banksy’s lawyers dispute key details, leaving the question of his true identity unresolved and suggesting the global persona may mask an ordinary Bristol man.
