【僑報記者陸傑夫11月4日聖荷西報道】矽谷知名企業家和慈善家、啤酒巨頭福克斯(Mike Fox),4日在他公司總部舉行的新聞發布會上宣布,他將把所有在美國銀行(Bank of America)存款統統取出,並斷絕與該銀行的一切業務關係。這是自「佔領華爾街」抗議行動蔓延到矽谷之後,首位被示威者視為「1%」的重要成員,在公開場合率先宣布關閉自己在大型銀行的賬戶。

Saturday, November 5, was Bank Transfer Day - a protest movement urging consumers to move away from large banks and into smaller community banks and credit unions.
The national campaign was sparked by a Facebook post by Kristin Christian, when she found out about Bank of America's plan to impose a new fee. She complained to her friends and suggested others also abandon "too big to fail" banks.
Occupy Santa Barbara is on board with the movement, and credit unions are seeing a dramatic rise in customers.
"Last month was huge," Eric Shapiro, Branch Operations Manager of Goleta's Golden1 Credit Union, commented. "We actually saw a 25% increase in our member base company-wide, just in October." 作者: 掏光養賄 時間: 2011-11-7 04:59
