BNE Instagram post..., by randomname on Aug 13, 2014 16:56:23 GMT 1, Now that he's essentially said he's keeping the money, it is unquestionably internet fraud. If the FBI does investigate, he'll likely find himself on the wrong end of a lengthy prison sentence. Sounds like a fun social experiment. He didnt say that. He said he's going back to working with the NGO's directly and putting the money and work in himself in South East Asia, rather than donating to a charity. Read his last instagram comment on his last post. Lies are the last thing this place needs. *Edit - Im not defending him and want to see proof just like everyone else. But, im not going to let his post get misconstrued. And by that, he's admitted he's keeping the money. The shirts were sold under the pretense that he would donate the money to charity. When the original charity refused the donation due to what they felt was a fraudulent misrepresentation, he claimed he would donate it to a different charity. He never followed through.
He lied and said that some blogger contacted every charity he approached and scared them away. Because this blogger magically knows every single charity that he spoke to. Then he made an illogical statement that he could donate the money anonymously, but that he would have no way of proving it. He could very easily donate the money and post the receipt six months later after it's spent. It's not like he has a problem keeping things secret for long periods of time.
So instead, he now claims he's going to do the work himself, where there will be no transparency whatsoever. Even in a best case scenario where he does spend all of money in Africa (which we have no reason to believe he would) he still would have committed fraud as he collected the money under the pretense that the money would go to charity, not that the money would go to himself and then he would spend it as he sees fit to do good.
As a side note, he'll also likely find himself in trouble with the IRS. Had he donated the money to charity as stated, he could have claimed it as a charitable deduction. The way he's doing it now, that money is considered taxable revenue. If he fails to report it and pay taxes on it, he'll commit income tax evasion and open himself up to even more legal trouble.
All in all, he's not a very bright guy.

Probably how he spends 90% of his time these days.

Just like when galleries etc do it on forums for artists they are selling and when galleries say whatever artist they are selling is a groundbreaking legend or other such hype.
Don't tell me you support BNE's money making tactics?
I still have the two originals I bought from my own company
If I had had any respect for you, Ploppi, it would have been gone now. But I didn't so it isn't. Or still is. Gone.

What about this allegation of "Guerrilla artist Banksy caught up in eBay fraud"
www.thefreelibrary.com/Guerrilla+artist+Banksy+caught+up+in+eBay+fraud-a01611537195
"According to
a whistleblower
who passed information to the Art Newspaper, unauthorised prints by the artist have been sold on the online auction site, and their prices inflated by a process known as "shill
bidding", in which prices are artificially raised by bogus bids made by accomplices of the seller.
According to the whistleblower, the fraud started about a year ago. Three employees of POW, one of whom has now left the company to start another prints sales firm, asked associates to sell prints on eBay. The prints were either printed in addition to the limited-edition runs, or may have been part of the standard overrun produced by publishers - which is then supposed to be destroyed.
The Art Newspaper's source said that 20 unauthorised prints had been placed on eBay, and the fraud could involve 100 prints. "We'd start up other accounts and just ... type in £1,000 higher than what someone else had put on it," the source said of the scheme. "We did that on everything we sold." POW, however, estimates that only 25 prints were affected.
One print sold fraudulently was Soup Can, which made more than £6,000. Another was Grin Reaper. Potential buyers were told they could confirm authenticity by calling a specific employee at POW. ""

" So he recognize that this tee was really a joke ( for 100$ , he can ) , and at the same moment he proposed us ( the buyers who did not ask for a reufnd ) to get the " print of our life " for only 500 $ ( 1 month ago it was 300 ) , print that will be at 6000 $ for others ( only 500 ex ) !!! He advises us that it won't be an Banksy print. So, I am just asking : which print could it be at this price ?! Even Os gemeos was not at this price on 99 , with a smaller edition !! Incredible !
