1. 1% Michael Bloomberg billionaire decided it wasn't convenient anymore and sent in the cops to beat heads to clear them out.
2. Vague movements rarely are organized enough to have clear goals, a clear plan to get there, and sustain interest, attention, and involvement to achieve them. You don't ask billionaires for a donation because they'll never give more than a dollar. And you don't camp-out at their offices because they control the cops, the government, and it looks weak. Once the physical presences of OM were lost, the community, social, and political bonds were severed because the people weren't serious and committed to seeing real change through; instead, they treated it like a Wall St. Woodstock.
If citizens were serious about recouping loot stolen from working people, there are only two things billionaires understand: money and survival. If a movement can't effectively threaten either of those, then they are irrelevant. This dynamic of under-regulated capitalism is the fault of the billionaires, and how their grotesque greed snatched defeat from the jaws of obscene success and just handed it over to likely rapid upheaval and an unproven, alternative system.
