I don’t buy it. Some of the people shown in the bank were dressed strange (either wearing masks or their faces were painted- look at the guy at about 2:30 in the blue shirt) a couple were carrying rolled up posters. I bet this was more of OccupyWallStreet punks just going in to cause problems.

I didn't see anyone "closing their accounts." All I saw was a bunch of a-holes disturbing the peace and some idiot female going histrionic.

After watching the video, I still don’t understand why they’re being arrested.

Looking at the other videos on this channel, I would guess this is staged.

Proof here its true http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/10/15/1026740/-Breaking:-30-Citibank-customers-arrested-for-closing-their-account?via=sidebar

Why are you posting this leftist garbage here? It was all over DU earlier a number of times. This is a bunch of OWS making a scene. They didn’t even have accounts there and if they wanted to close them if they did, they could do it online and get a check in the mail.

For sick.

Looks like an ACORN type of group tried to hold a protest and disrupt this bank branch.
Very misleading to post the title that you did; then quote a radical left wing source such as Kos.

Do you think we are stupid enough to believe customers are “arrested for closing their accounts”?
Come on.....

We we conservatives here; not radical “stick it to the man” business hating hippies.

Get a grip Francis. That branch is within walking distance of Zuccotti Park. It was planned to start up trouble. I doubt the little darlings have Citibank accounts with more than $500 all tolled, unless mommy and daddy do their deposits.
