Does someone know who he's referring to?

Paul Krugman, who won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Economics, has been very critical of Bitcoin. See, e.g. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/12/28/bitcoin-is-evil/

I'm guessing it's Paul Krugman. He wrote a few posts questioning the value and viability of bitcoin, and was mocked for it on a number of bitcoin forums.
