To be fair. The guy has been wearing a mask for a lot longer the the rest of us. Maybe he’s ahead of the curve.
. Ok I take that back.

Dear Mr. Andon,
We are reaching out in regards to a violation of our intellectual property.
Our legal team has made us aware of your work, and, to put it mildly, Hasbro Inc. is not impressed with your take on Rich Uncle Pennybags. Reducing our mascot to a plasticized brand, replicated ad-nauseam as a promotional gimmick, is not in keeping with our company culture.
We haven’t forgot that, Monopoly, in essence, is about stealing. But stealing is only fair when everybody has an equal opportunity. A wall is free for anyone to paint, provided they choose to take the risk. But when multiple walls are clogged in a campaign to enrich oneself by already having money, purposefully imitating the aesthetic of being an industry plant, we feel the game is rigged, and thus, must take legal and ethical action.
Again, it’s not that we are against such self-enrichment in principle, but you’re not trying to say anything beyond “give me your money and I’ll spray paint some Louis Vuitton luggage for you.”
Therefore, while we await a judgment from the courts, we went ahead and removed the first piece from the wall at 7547 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, CA. We instructed the workers to leave all the other tags, because we figured they deserved the canvas to continue their practice and get better. Isn’t that what art is all about? Trying.
Unless you’re willing to try harder, we demand ALEC MONOPOLY leave us out of it. We have always been in this for the kids. Not for the toys.
Cheers,
Hasbro, Inc.
__________
Bemusing, but also a missed opportunity when targeting the embarrassment that is Alec Monopoly.
Subtle execution would have achieved greater impact. Obviousness weakens the spoof (assuming it is indeed a spoof, as opposed to an incompetent attempt at black propaganda).
'indeclineofficial' could instead have made an effort to delay gratification by drafting a believable cease & desist letter — i.e. one that could credibly have come from a multinational conglomerate.
Had they done so, the letter would likely have received more traction. It might even have been reported on, at face value, by content providers who rely on junk journalism and clickbait.

Signari Gallery sell tons of fakes. Check those COA's on the Alec Monopoly and the paintings look fake.
Can you not see all the fake Banksy lots. He puts his own Gallery COA on most of the art to make it look good.
There is loads of posts on here about Signari Gallery, if you purchased a painting get it checked out straight away
