Fake Banksy Twitter account fools ’em

While British artist Banksy fooled New Yorkers with a modest stand selling his artwork for just $60 a piece in Central Park on Saturday, a fake Twitter account with the handle @banksyny is continuing to fool many others.

The account — which a rep for Banksy confirms to Page Six is 100 percent fake — had an impressive 25,431 followers as of Tuesday night, including Olivia Wilde, Moby, Sen. Brad Hoylman and even Twitter’s Jack Dorsey. Tweets include, “The only good human being is a dead one” and “A cup of tea would restore my normality.”

A UK rep for the artist, who’s having a monthlong “residency” here, said Banksy’s official Instagram account remains banksyny.
