Occupy Wall Street Has $40K in The Bank And 'The Money Is Going to Start Rolling in Now'




As you've surely noticed, the Occupy Wall Street Protestors have taken things to another level in the past couple of days.

Hundreds have been arrested. They have the power of unions behind them now, which has drawn thousands to protest with them and gotten the attention of big media outlets. And there are two separate movements growing within the protestors.

The youth behind the original movement are organized into factions or committees, including legal, medical, and finance, and they are pulling away from association with the union protest movement now. The people behind the original movement recognize that their strength is in their youth, and we found little evidence to confirm reports that they're not organized.

They now have $40,000 in the bank, in an account at Amalgamated Bank.

"At first, Victoria [Sobel, one of the movement's unofficial leaders] was sleeping with $10,000 in the park," says Darrell Prince, who works on the finance team. He and others on the team wear a gold "$" sign as an elbow patch to identify themselves.

"We've collected $40,000 from donations and buckets on the street," Prince says, and "the money is really going to start rolling in now."
