The title is a little misleading but it is still amusing that they walked into a bank trying to cash a check that large.
Protest: Bank Protesters Arrested After Trying to Cash $673-billion Check - ktla.com
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KTLA) -- Ten protesters were arrested at a downtown Los Angeles Bank of America branch on Thursday afternoon, after a group marched inside the bank and tried to cash a $673 billion check.
The protest was organized by the Refund California campaign. "Occupy L.A." protesters, inspired by the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters in New York, also joined in, authorities said.
The protesters tried to cash an over-sized check made out to the "people of California," LAPD Lt. Paul Vernon said.
Ten protesters -- six men and four women -- were arrested after refusing to leave the bank, police said.
