I have no direct knowledge of the matter, but these are damning accusations if correct.

The corporation has applied for a trademark for the phrase “National General Assembly,” and has already threatened to sue those Occupiers who use it despite the fact that the phrase has been in use nationally for months. . . .

In February, Pollok took control of the corporation in a coup after a dispute regarding transparency of finances, allegations of misconduct, and a significant portion of the group voicing a lack of confidence in Pollok’s leadership. . . .

Dissenters to the process used by Mr. Pollok have been silenced by removal from discussion within the 99% Declaration online community as well as threats of litigation despite his clear knowledge of the standards of defamation yet one of the points of the declaration condemns any censorship of the internet. . . .

Ocupy Groups did not receive of the intention to send a press release affiliating the group with the Occupy Movement, and Occupy Philadelphia is calling for a major protest of the event should it take place. “A million expected in Philly this July” is the phrase being passed via text message.
