hyperallergic: Banksy’s Anonymity Cost Russia’s Voina Group Their Bail by Marina Galperina for Animal NY When Voina artists’ pre-trial incarceration was extended another month on Friday in St. Petersburg, the judge declined their bail offer — $66,500 for each, adding up to the exact amount Banksy’s aid — citing “lack of information about the person providing the money.” And there it is, Banky’s anonymity, worth a million yet useless in court. Aww. Surely Banksy could give the money to someone else who then provides it to Voina as bail?
