Dunno, but it's sad. Most of the stuff he does is really good and usually makes the lucky recipients boatloads of cash :)

The money laundering doesn't sound too good.

It's all supposed to be a hoax.

Well, the quote from Fappy, the anti-masturbating dolphin, would certainly make you think so...
"When in doubt use full throttle. It may not improve the situation but it will end the suspense ".

As Mac pointed out, when you've got a Dolphin giving a strapline you kind of guess it's a wind up :)

A pair of Coppers in anti-stab vests leading an alleged street artist away, anyone else see a little bit of overkill in this? Would anyone have banged David Hockney up if he had painted a pic on the wall of a house? Maybe they would if it had been done under a nom de aerosol.

I suspect this is either an elaborate hoax designed to embarrass authority or that same authority embarrassed by the fact this guy can complete pieces of artwork at will under their noses and have decided to destroy him for not playing the game to accepted rules.

Btw, anyone see this little gem from Nigel Farage's new playground?
