So if I'm understanding this correctly, it is normal and common for development teams in the crypto tech space to be completely anonymous to one another? Like you don't know each other's names or anything? Really?

It's a problem when you inadvertently hire North Koreans who engineer their way into your systems to steal funds.

Not really, most teams will at least know each others identities even if they’re not publicly doxxed Part of the problem here is that proxy was careful to never publicly tie his irl identity to his previous pseudonym, so even if the clanker team knew his real name they wouldn’t be able to put together the pieces But his old team knew his identity, so that’s why this whole thing unraveled when one of his old team members saw him in person and alerted the clanker team

it doesn’t feel uncommon for projects that are bootstrapped… companies that have reasons to deal with some legal institutions (e.g. establishing a legal entity and raising venture capital) tend to find reasons to deal with others (payroll, employment law, tax withholding, etc). bootstrapped projects usually find themselves more time to figure these things out.
