If banks could have paid a few agent provocateurs to disrupt the occupy Wall Street movement and handicap it out the gate, do you think they would have? Muddying the waters is a cheap and easy tactic to use.

The cost of fielding a few sock puppets is literally a drop in the bucket for them, they don't have to regard OWS as an existential threat, merely in the way of their policy goals.
