Oh my.

By the way, a new entry was posted in "the secret diary of nadin" yesterday, Saturday morning.

It's in the DUmping Ground here.

Anyway.

So citi arrests people for closing accounts and BOA don't allow people to do same...

I am sure other LARGE banks are doing the same, It has come down to this.

2. They could just go to the atm machines and make withdrawals to take their account down to a couple of bucks or whatever the is least they can leave in there and not ever ever put anything back in.

3. Many banks have minimum balance requirements.

If your balance falls below a certain level, they can assess fees and/or close your account.

If you don't pay the fees, they can damage your credit rating.

The only way to close the account and not get charged fees may be to go in person.

4. I don't think you can close your account via ATM...

That's the purpose of going to a branch in person. They're closing their accts, not merely emptying them.

6. My bank account gives the bank the right not to honor my withdrawl request

And I'm sure it is supposed to help prevent a run on the bank. I suspect most banks do the same.

ISTM that banks are hurting their own images.

Either the banks look afraid of the 'unsophisticated' Occupy movement

or

The banks look like they don't have cash on hand to deal with the withdrawls.

Imagine how many 53pers will feel like becoming active 99%ers when everyone starts talking about how the banks don't have to let you have your own money.

Not sophisticated, my ASS!

7. They HAVE to have them arrested -- as a rule of thumb, it's illegal to have them shot.

That, and a stray bullet might graze the CEO's new Mercedes -- and we can't have THAT, now, can we?

Hey morons when you walk into any business acting like a fool that can go off at any minute they tend to kick your ass out so you don't cause trouble. When you act like an animal don't expect to be treated like a person.

I'm sure there's more to this story than nadinbrzshnskzchy is reporting.  So far the only reports I've seen are from left-wing blogs and have almost no information.

From what I have gathered, and granted this was at the DUmp, the protesters were going in the banks in full protests mode and they were asked to leave and come back later when they can act like human beings.

I believe so...news this morning mentioned a group of chanting, disruptive (sort of-)organized protestors getting kicked out of a bank in NYC. 

Some of them may even have had accounts there...
