The researcher notes that the name Banana also appears in a daily work summary sheet among documents leaked from the group, which is why he singles this identity out; one of the attached images is that sheet, headed BANANA DAILY SUM-UP and logging job-application counts and working hours of ten to fifteen a day through January 2023. The GitHub account, address, Telegram handle and site are transcribed by hand from a second attached screenshot of the profile page, which carries the display name BitBanana over the handle BitFancy.

Read on 20 September 2026 by walking the commit history of every repository on the GitHub account github.com/BitFancy, already held under this persona, and tallying the author line on every commit. A commit's author line is what the holder configured their git client with rather than anything the profile page chooses to display, so it recovers addresses the account never states. The addresses recorded here were not already in this index: alricbauer422031@gmail.com authored 1834 commits across 47 of its repositories, commits as "BitFancy"; jackpassiondev07@gmail.com authored 1 commit across the repository BitFancy/Solana-Mev-Bot-Optimize, commits as "bitfancy". Each is admitted because it commits under a name the account itself uses, which is the test that separates the holder's own address from the original author of a repository copied in. Addresses belonging to unrelated developers whose work appears in these repositories are deliberately not recorded, and an address is evidence that whoever held it wrote those commits rather than proof of who holds the account.

Found on 29 September 2026 by searching GitHub's code for the handles this site already holds for the persona (bitfancy) and reading the files that name them: contact blocks, profile READMEs and portfolio data in the persona's own repositories or in repositories that credit its accounts. Each value is cited to the file it was read from. Values in copied templates, client team pages and test data are not carried.
