the bitcoin system is a pseudonymous system, where spending of funds is intentionally not linked to names or owners. With the idea of not re-using addresses, it makes it nearly impossible, to relate any spends to a particular person.

Is it possible to find which address sent the transaction? In the ethereum blockchain, it is possible to find the sender and the receiver.

looking at the [raw transaction](https://blockchain.info/rawtx/497e90946be5ac4076497476c221d5165549e45040700d06f0b10091e2f144d5), one can see many funds from several addresses mixed to other outputs. The closest I can get, is that tx\_out[2] is corresponding to the mentioned address. So there is not a single source, from which the funds were sent.

All the inputs are 2-of-3 (multisig) addresses, and none of the included keys of these 2-of-3 corresponds to the mentioned address. As such I cannot say, where the funds came from. Essentially this transaction was compiled to collect funds from 10 transactions, and redistribute them over 11 output addresses.
