Wow, what a joke! Last year my wife got a Wachovia account just for eBay. This year Wachovia got taken over by Wells Fargo. Without notice, BOOM $5/month checking account fees. That account will be closed soon. This just helps prove many ofthese protesters are simply useful idiots.
Seems that the money was deposited into a pre-existing lawyer's client trust account that happened to be at Wells Fargo. Still a bonehead move - these guys need to have better awareness of their PR vulnerabilities.
I guess that was the account he had for immediate deposit. The fact that it will be moved is still sending a message to the banks. as long as people keep moving their money out of these big banks it will have an effect. It's not always easy to move money around, especially if you are a middle class person. You might have direct deposit, people need time to research the best local bank, how close is it, etc. already a large amount has been moved. Any news about money being moved is good publicity for the middle class
Consumer driven economics will force more money away from Banksters, as long as there arealternatives. Mean while, back at the real world which most of us live in: http://usdebtclock.org/ as by next Friday, we will be pasted the $15 Trillion dollars in debt threshold. Funny those Occupy Not On Wall Street Lung people haven't been protesting that little fact as we slip into economic hell and the Global Elites dance.
Indeed. One of the things that struck me about our, local "occupy" group is how incoherent some of them appear to be. There was a spoeskwoman for them on BBC Radio Scotland the other day. The city council wanted them out of George Square (main sqaure in town) before remebrence day, so came to an agreement to move them to a patch of grass in the West End, near Glasgow University. The council have agreed to provide toilet facilities and security fencing (after on of them was raped). As part of the radio interview, it was pointed out that whilst many people sympathise with their anger over global corporations, etc, they are now a willing and official burden on the tax payer. She was asked if it wouldn't be better to occupy some land owned by a PLC, and let them pick up the tab. She had absolutely no answer to this and came across as confused about why she was there at all. Really poor show because I tend to agree with them on the main points but things like this don't help their case at all.
meanwhile..... Finally, a Judge Stands up to Wall Street the fact of the #Occupy reality is that it shows most people are incredibly fed up. All of them may not know exactly what to do about, but many already have done something and the ball is rolling down the hill, picking up steam.
One little spot of goodness but the regulators are still the problem and this is only a sign of it. They are not policing the financial bad apples with nearly enough vigour to restore confidence and trust.
