Three men are 'Tyler Durden'

ZeroHedge is a phenomenon. It's a great news source but it's best known for its ceaseless dark, bearish vision. I've been a fan since day one. Its success is incredible given that it was founded in the financial crisis and thrived despite a 7-year bull market.

The two people behind the Tyler Durden alias are Daniel Ivandjiiski, 37 and Tim Backshall, 45. A year ago, the duo brought aboard Colin Lokey, 32, as a third Durden but it's ending badly with Lokey going to Bloomberg and revealing the names behind the site.

Lokey blamed the sites politics for his decision to leave. I think that most traders don't care about the politics, they go to ZeroHedge for the news.

In any case, ZeroHedge published a scathing takedown in response.
