I don't see any proof that Banksy or his legal team lied... all I see is quotes from the card company of what Banksy (or his team) allegedly said, and I have no way of knowing if they're direct quotes or them just "summing it up". They never said the legal team called them "a big corporate group", just that they were trying to paint them as such. There's a difference. (Plus, their own homepage refers to themselves as an "internationally operating greeting card publisher".)

Maybe it's moot, but... yes, Banksy makes a lot of money off his work sometimes.

But there's some things worth mentioning:

1. He also spends a lot of money on his work (look at Dismaland, which was only $1/ticket). 2. Much of his high-priced work is sold by private collectors and he doesn't get the money 3. Or, the one he did sell directly was art itself, and the sale was part of the art (it got shredded) 4. And lastly, he donates it. Like all the profits from this store are getting donated.

I wouldn't necessarily confuse "there's a lot of money surrounding Banksy" with "Banksy is rich".
