Actually, Banksy is pretty well-known in the UK already. His canvases fetch £10,000 and up over there.
They couldn't get him for breaking and entering in the U.S. museum stunts since he walked in off the street and hung the paintings while the galleries were open.
I haven't heard of any charges being brought by the NYC galleries. I understand that Banksy does however have warrants out for his arrest in England related to some of his graffitti projects.
Quite a character...
