Organizers of Occupy Portland say they fear as much as $20,000 donated to the group through a PayPal account has disappeared.
They also say the group's finance committee has hijacked the demonstration's Internet domain name and filed for incorporation against the wishes of the group's decision-making body.
The demonstrator who filed the papers with the state said Wednesday she did so to protect the protest, and she has received death threats as a result.

LeDoux said Occupy Portland's organizers believe that "between $10,000 and $20,000" has disappeared from the protest's control. LeDoux said a finance committee member linked his PayPal account to occupypdx.org for donations.

I predicted this would happen as soon as they started bragging about the money they’re collecting.
As soon as I heard the other day the the OWS group had collected over $500,000 ... I KNEW it was the end, splinter groups will form demanding part of the money, and it will end with law suits and lawyers walking away with all the cash.
I know.... THE RICH STOLE IT!!! That MUST be it!!!!
Wait - let me get the popcorn.
Just more proof that socialism is a failure
