Banks is an actor and everywhere online. In recent months, he has built the story around the jailbreak in a series of supposed videos shot from the interior of a prison in the Connecticut region where it has time.
The online version of the events is that the police arrested banks in February 2024 for stealing pro-Israeli site panels and charged it with flight flight. According to Banks, Connecticut sent him to prison for the offense. “I have terrible news,” said Banks in a post in October 2024. “The state of Connecticut sentenced me to 8 months in prison from November 15. I have always tried to get the most out In my life, but today I have an overwhelming challenge to overcome.
I called the Westport police, Connecticut and I spoke with the Lieutenant Eric Woods of the banks. “There was no jailbreak,” said Woods.
The burden of Larceny Six is real. Banks have in fact stolen from several pro-Israeli site panels in the districts of the Westport region, Connecticut and were accused of Larceny Six. It is an offense that can be sentenced to a one -year prison sentence. His mugshot was taken and was placed in a detention cell before binding for $ 500.
Woods told me that the probability that anyone would go to a real prison on this subject in the Muscade state was unlikely. “It’s a crime. It’s Connecticut. No one goes to prison for Larceny Six, “said Woods.
Woods called Banks “self -proclaimed comics”. And it’s true, Banks has spent the last years of his life publishing bizarre online Andy Kaufman videos that blur the line between the art of performance and comedy. Another video pinned on his Instagram shows him to make Standup comedy in West Point while Pretend to be an American sailor. Banks often interviews atheists and believers while wearing a medallion that combines the crucifix, the croissant and the star, and the star of David. Banks are like a Failure of the art-school dropping out version of Conner O’malley.
Bank’s latest project pretends to be imprisoned. In recent months, he has published several videos would have shot inside the prison where he had time for stealing pro-Israeli site panels. In the story he built, he reads the Koran and teaches prisoners how to love God in all his vicissitudes.
The story culminated yesterday in the jailbreak which, once again, is not real.
