Respect is the master word.
BNE played with people as checkers in a game. I know they call it internet, they call it street-art, they call it, money, basket, shop, ship, chap... It is not a game. We are notmoney pumps. Where is the Hype here ? The art performance here ? Banksy ? Not Banksy ? Only trade, bizness etc... No more. Cheap in the mind but expensive one ! Fans are not cash cows !
Anyway, there is rules when you buy in a real shop or on the web : you must respect and be polite with the customer whatever the price ( here is was not chewing-gums ) and second, you must notice the price and notify all details about the item.
Here we could complain about BNE
But I won't create any syndicate, nor a page on fracebook , lol.

It all depends if anyone has made an official complaint, also the IRS usually looks at income.
He seems to be avoiding direct questions which implies something.

If the friend who works for the Eye has knowledge of any complaints or issues, I doubt they would disclose that anyway.

I was thinking more of the shirt money that was supposed to go to charity but never did. That was likely a six figure fraud right there. My guess is he also doesn't intend to pay tax on that. So he could be on the hook for income tax evasion here in a few months when taxes are due.

Yeah, if I had bought one of the shirts, I probably would file a complaint. But I filed with Paypal as soon as I found out Banksy wasn't involved and got my money back.
I was thinking more along the lines of letting someone higher up know about it and see if a guy stealing a large sum of money intended for charity is of any interest to them.
But if anyone who did buy a shirt wants to file a complaint, here's where to do it.

Otherwise it would be a ( bad and cheap ) steal ! So easy....
bah, we'll see...
Lol, if it is a real BNE print, what a fool ! And I hope that peopmle won't come to speak about charity, nobody bought these tees ( more than 3x50, per artist, lol !!! ) nor the print for water, but for INvader, Banksy etc...

If you didn't like that the money wasn't going to charity you asked, and got, a refund no questions asked. If you didn't like that the shirts weren't limited you asked and got a refund. If you didn't like him saying he was involved with Banksy and wasn't, you got a refund.
He did not keep money from anyone and for whatever reason if you wanted your money back you got it.
Also, Paypal automatically sends the IRS your account information once you hit a certain threshold, which he most likely did easily.

He wrote for the print ( not for the tees ) that there will not have any refunds. I am sure of that. And paypal stops refunds ( or blocking the money ) after 2 months.

The t-shirt money was pretty cut and dry fraud. He offered refunds after Banksy said he wasn't involved, but said he would collaborate with another artist and the money would all still go to charity. He also said that whoever stuck with him would be rewarded with a $5,000 print for $100, which he later raised to $500. We all know how that turned out.
After a good amount of time had passed, long enough for Paypal's dispute window to expire, he delivered a half assed shirt with no art to speak of. Someone on here had even mocked up the same joke a few months before, which is where he probably got the idea.
If that's had been the extent of his shenanigans, he probably would have been fine. But then he said the charity refused his donation because the money was collected under false pretenses. He then said he would find another charity to give it to.
If he had followed through, he still probably would have been fine. But he lied and said that some mysterious person had contacted every single charity known to man and that no one would take his money. And because of that, he would keep the money and spend it as he saw fit. That's where he crossed the line.
He didn't offer any refunds at that point. He simply kept the money and has likely been living off it ever since.
As for the income tax evasion, he collected the money as charitable donations. If he tries to claim that it's tax exempt, he could find himself in a fair bit of trouble.

None of these things are related. The original shirt sale (the "100" Faile/Invader/Fairey shirts) were not limited, but anyone who wanted a refund got one. I know several people asked for a refund, got one, and didn't have to send back their shirt.
Delivering a half-assed shirt is not fraud. It's just delivering a s**tty shirt. Wasn't the original purchase page a shirt with a question mark on it or something? That's like buying a "mystery" tube from an artist and getting crap.
I have not seen one person in this thread saying they asked for a refund and didn't get it. Got a post to quote? AFAIK anyone who asked for a refund got one. If you didn't like the charity shenanigans you were free to get your money back. I personally bought a Faile scuba horse shirt and kept it.. whatever it didn't go to charity, but I still have my shirt that I am fine with.
Also, Paypal's window running out does not limit your options - you could still file a chargeback, call your bank, etc.
Just to be clear, this way this guy has done business is really dumb and shady, but if he actually took people's money (as in, someone asked for their money back and didn't get it), this thread would be more along the lines of the recent thread about the artist who didn't deliver the OGs.
Not defending the guy but, what exactly did he steal? If you didn't like that the money wasn't going to charity you asked, and got, a refund no questions asked. If you didn't like that the shirts weren't limited you asked and got a refund. If you didn't like him saying he was involved with Banksy and wasn't, you got a refund. He did not keep money from anyone and for whatever reason if you wanted your money back you got it. Also, Paypal automatically sends the IRS your account information once you hit a certain threshold, which he most likely did easily. The t-shirt money was pretty cut and dry fraud. He offered refunds after Banksy said he wasn't involved, but said he would collaborate with another artist and the money would all still go to charity. He also said that whoever stuck with him would be rewarded with a $5,000 print for $100, which he later raised to $500. We all know how that turned out. None of these things are related. The original shirt sale (the "100" Faile/Invader/Fairey shirts) were not limited, but anyone who wanted a refund got one. I know several people asked for a refund, got one, and didn't have to send back their shirt. Delivering a half-assed shirt is not fraud. It's just delivering a s**tty shirt. Wasn't the original purchase page a shirt with a question mark on it or something? That's like buying a "mystery" tube from an artist and getting crap. I have not seen one person in this thread saying they asked for a refund and didn't get it. Got a post to quote? AFAIK anyone who asked for a refund got one. If you didn't like the charity shenanigans you were free to get your money back. I personally bought a Faile scuba horse shirt and kept it.. whatever it didn't go to charity, but I still have my shirt that I am fine with. Also, Paypal's window running out does not limit your options - you could still file a chargeback, call your bank, etc. Just to be clear, this way this guy has done business is really dumb and shady, but if he actually took people's money (as in, someone asked for their money back and didn't get it), this thread would be more along the lines of the recent thread about the artist who didn't deliver the OGs. |

Anyone got their Banksy's delivered yet should be dropping soon for Christmas.
