Its gone mega-viral and has been viewed more than 10 million times on X alone.
The jailbreak is fake.
According to Banks, Connecticut sent him to jail for the offense.

I have terrible news, Banks said in a post in October of 2024.
The state of Connecticut has sentenced me to 8 months in jail beginning on Nov 15.
I called the police in Westport, Connecticut and spoke with Administrative Lieutenant Eric Woods about Banks.
There was no jailbreak, Woods said.
The larceny six charge is real.
Its a misdemeanor that can carry a one-year prison sentence.
His mugshot was taken and he was placed in a holding cell before he bonded out for $500.
No one is going to jail for larceny six, Woods said.
Woods called Banks a self-professed comic.
Banks is like afailed art-school dropoutversion ofConner OMalley.
Banks latest project is pretending to be incarcerated.
The narrative culminated in the jailbreak yesterday which, again, is not real.
