How many protesters are frauds?

  Heard this on GB a couple weeks ago and Professor Jacobsen is reminding us of the story of this dramatic young law student who pours his heart out to the streets of New York, where he reveals in broken sobs that his highly educated parents have lost their home. The young man, Robert Stephens with a p h, is tortured by the knowledge that this terrible loss could have been prevented if only the bank had extended them more time. 
  Watch, if you can, without your heart breaking.
 
  Hahaha! Gotcha on that one!
  And I bet you figured out that this was all phony, right?
  From The Blaze:
Phone inquiries into the county property records & taxpayer services office reveal that the Stephens family home is not and never has been in foreclosure, that property taxes had been paid in full this year and the remaining balance on their mortgage for the half-million dollar homeis less than one year’s worth of tuition+fees at their son’s law school.
  And, yes, this kid's tuition for law school is over $70,000 per year. 
UPDATE: We already knew some guy was paying Latinos who don't understand English to occupy Wall Street. Now we see an advert on CRAIG'S LIST indicating WFA, the ACORN spinoff, is also paying and advertising for people to OCCUPY WALL STREET.
