Occupy Oakland fails again.
It seems that Occupy Oakland has opened a account at Wells Fargo and deposited twenty thousand dollars. So with the Occupy movement has been has been telling the public to withdraw their money from the banks has opened a account in a bank that has been labeled as part of the one percent.
The general assembly voted 162-8 to place the money with San Francisco-based Wells Fargo. The assembly minutes indicate that placement with Wells Fargo, which the group has referred to as a “bankster,” might be only temporary.
Occupy Oakland intends to eventually place the funds with a credit union. The money, the minutes indicate, was donated by Occupy Wall Street, a protest effort that sprouted in Lower Manhattan.
The cash is to be used to assist in helping individuals who might have been jailed in connection with Occupy Oakland actions, the minutes of the general assembly stated.
Also consider that a branch of Wells Fargo was damaged during the recent Occupy protests.
“I understand that people aren’t comfortable with that, but this is a time-sensitive issue,” one of the leaders of the general assembly stated, according to the minutes.
Occupy Oakland has pilloried Chase Bank, Citibank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank and other major American financial companies for triggering some of the nation’s economic ailments.
“It takes time to transfer funds to a credit union,” one of the general assembly members stated, according to the minutes posted on the website. “We need to help people in jail now.”
So once again the Occupy movement gets hit in the face by reality. Thanks to UpNorth for the link.

They do realize, do they not, that Wells Fargo will commit the deposit to overnight investments in all sorts of lovely companies (perhaps even pepper spray and tear gas proucers, as well as handcuff and handgun manufaturers and Lord only knows what else). Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahah.
Huh…I’m a member of a couple of credit unions and seems to me the time to deposit money in them is no different than the time it takes to deposit money in a bank. Fail indeed.
Alternatively, OWS could have just piled the money into a sleeping bag and entrusted it to one of their fine, upstanding, and honorable members. Um. Okay, maybe putting in the bank was their only alternative.
And won’t there be a delay in having access to that money since it’s over $10,000?
Oh look! It’s the Failboat!
We need to help people in jail now.
Then ya better fucking hope that they sent cash, because WF is gonna put a 5-7 business day hold on any out-of-state checks over $2500 drawn on another bank, fucktards.
Sssshhh Sparky. Not so loud. One of their trolls may see what you wrote and put 2 and 2 together.
I think they should have let the elected leader of their Denver counterparts hold it for them. Just gotta make sure he doesn’t have a Petsmart card…
This is freakin’ hilarious. Good job Up North.
I hoe Wells Fargo asks a court to freeze the account while it sues OWS for the damages it caused to one of its branches. That would be Christmas in November!
Wells fargo Teller: “May I help you?”
Occupier: “Yes, my oppressed comrade teller, my organization made a deposit here the other day and we would like to withdraw it.”
Teller: “I see. (Teller brings up account) Well, I’m sorry but those funds are not available.”
Occupier: “Not available! You losy wench, you two-bit slut! I demand to speak to the manager. No, I demand to speak with the President, the CEO, the Board, the capitalist pigs that took our money!”
Mnager hears uproar and hits silent alarm. Police arrive. Police arrest ranting, cursing occupier. Bail is set at $1,500. Wells Fargo bail-fund deposit remains unavailable.
Hmm… my wife worked with a credit union and they may have an issue with opening an account. You have to have a land-line telephone as well as a mailing/residence address both located in a geographical proximity to the credit union. If you are opening it for a group or organization, you must have a land-line and a mailing/physical address (no P.O. Box) within a geographical proximity to the credit union.
These occutards are so full of fail that it is oozing out their pores.
#6 AirCav: if the trolletariat puts 2 and 2 together, they come up with 22, and a distinct need to assuage their guilt with some Social Justice.
If these were LOLCats, the caption would read “EPIC FAIL”
OK, the cop part of my brain is starting to see the whole picture now…..somebody is banking money off this entire mess.
#13 CI Roller Dude: yes. In NYC a few days ago, some of the OWS made off with around $500,000 in cash donated to the cause. Now these anarchists have discovered the system is a self-licking ice cream cone.
Heh.
Couldn’t happen to a better bunch of imbeciles. th4se folks have the same brain capacity as the lady who thinks she can’t be out of money because there are still checks in her checkbook that she hasn’t written.
As noted above, Karma would have the bank file a suit against “Occupy_______” and ask the judge to put a hold on any funds deposited in respect to any judgement that might be awarded to them.
As the old song says “….. and they can’t even run their own lives, I’ll be damned if they run mine!”
Okay DaveO, it’s not yet dawn on Saturday morning and I’m already laughing. The “trolletariat” started it and, just when my laughter subsided, I saw “self-licking ice cream cone.”
Hmmmm . . . What ever happened to their socialism teachings? WHy did they put it in a BANK (a CAPITALIST organization) instead of distributing that wealth per their socialist proclamations? Ummm, what would that be, about $100 per Oakland Occutard?
@#17: If it was dispersed as most funds were in socialist countries, the top 1`% would get 99% of the bank account, and the bottom 99% the remaining 1%.
Wait…….. isn’t THAT what these morons are railing against?
I guess reading and history isn’t among their many virtues, eh? 😉
It takes time to transfer funds to a credit union
Correction it takes time for us to embezzle all the funds
I get it, put the money in the bank, steal money and blame the bank for stealing it. People of Occupy will be made and donate money to replace the money that was stolen and repeat.
