OAKLAND, Calif.—A group of Oakland anti-Wall Street protesters who blame large banks for the economic downturn have decided that one of those institutions is the best place to stash their money for now.

Protesters at an Occupy Oakland meeting Monday voted to deposit a $20,000 donation into a Wells Fargo account. The move comes just days after one of Wells Fargo's branches was vandalized during a massive downtown demonstration.

An Occupy statement says the money only will be with Wells Fargo temporarily while they work to establish an account with a credit union or community bank.

Protesters say it was the easiest way to access the money to bail out people from jail.

Really.

But the first and safest place they felt the money should go:

A BANK!

Not a Credit Union.

Had I been the Wells Fargo employee I would have refused to open the account.
