His instagram page and website show his works and the latter keeps a running tally of unauthorized exhibitions[1], so I imagine they'd list any fake/unauthorized works if discovered.

How do we know the Instagram is run by the original Banksy? Maybe "Banksy" is like the Dread Pirate Roberts, a title held by many people at different times.

I expect the real Banksy would make it known.

I believe klipt's point is that a group of people may agree to use the name (potentially at different times), not that someone is using it without the originator's consent.
