That was interesting. At first it reads like it could have been a deep investigation. Then you realize that with the right 3 datasets, it's trivial to reveal this level of attempted obfuscation.
Mt. Gox didn't help. Liberty reserve didn't help. Bitcoin shuffling didn't help.

Maybe he was selling the BTC on Bitcoin-otc or some other random place that existed back in the days, and now he is wrongly linked to the guy. Edit: sorry, missed the evidence about using same IP for both the mtgox and LR account. Weird using the chain of transactions and then doing that kind of rookie mistake.
