Is It Possible To De-Anonymize a Tor User?
To conclude the answer to this question. De-anonymizing Tor users aren’t
just theoretical. The governments have caught many Tor users and detained
them for illegal activities. One such example is silk road an online dark
website hosted in 2011 by Ross Ulbricht to trade illegal drugs. According
to Edward Snowden, it is never possible to de-anonymize all Tor users at
once. But, with manual analysis, it is possible to de-anonymize a very
small fraction of Tor users. Till now, no success has been seen in
de-anonymizing a user based on the request or demand.

Bringing up Ross Ulbricht is a red-herring. Ulbricht was found due to his
use of a Gmail account in his own name: rossulbricht@gmail.com. This account
was linked to an nym he used (altoid) to advertise Silk Road early on.

The majority of illicit market operators and vendors have been busted using
similar methods -- another case in point:

Feds say alleged AlphaBay operator Alexandre Cazes welcomed users
to the dark web drug market with a message that included the email
address "Pimp_Alex_91@hotmail.com."
