My boss is convinced that occupy wall-street has a major financial backing.

* Japa sighs.

Occupy Denver scrounged up $485,000 in donations for the winter season.

[Descan]

Is that in money? Or the combined money + tents and shit?

If the former, okay that's a lot. If the latter, not so much.

Money, item donations don't count around here in cash value

Wow.  Last I had heard, the main Occupy Wall St website had gathered about $500k in donations.

I'm guessing there are some major celebrities chipping in.

Obviously the whole thing is iust another front for the 0,1%. They're probably gathered up somewhere and are laughing their asses of right now.

...You're one microscopic cog in their catastrophic plans, designed and directed by their red, right hands.

Something tells me that OWS doesn't have rigorous accounting practices.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear stories about mass embezzlement and money laundering.  Organized crime will be all over this.

On topic, how is money actually handled by the OWS group (the actual WS ones)? Is it all just deposited into a shared bank account, or do they keep it in cash under a tent, or what?

Saw these people weekend before last in person, first time I went to New York. It was pretty cool, a bunch of them were in costumes (probably since it was near Halloween), there was some live music (by a guy playing on buckets with a sign asking to donate money for real drums) too. It was an interesting experience.

This. He says there has to be a bank or something paying them to go and gather in protest.

[Heron TSG]

I'd imagine they'd keep it in a credit union or a local bank, if anywhere.

So who exactly has authorizations to write checks or make withdrawals?  Can anyone just go to a local bank and withdraw money under the OWS account?

Holy shit.

"Goddamn, I love working on American soil."

I wonder how well that describes what the cops in question were thinking, and what it says about me that the only objection I have to using references to the Comedian here is that that was a comic book and can't possibly map to reality in a meaningful way (being a product of a severely alternate history, itself heavily influenced by the biases of the single person who wrote it).

I'm probably projecting. Eh.

Haven't been checking in on Occupy news for a while.  Been too busy and exhausted.  Decided to hit the news stream for a few minutes and this image is the first thing that caught my eye.
