Which they won't. Very few people of significance from the 2008 financial collapse are in jail. The justice system in America doesn't apply to the 1%.
There was a movement that tried to make people aware of that by camping out for weeks. They were marginalized, by the news and media agencies owned by that same 1%.
As the previous post stated, this type of stuff was know in 2011 and 2014. There is a good chance the only reason this is making such strong headwind now is because it's in someone's interest to have the media run with these stories.

That's not really true. There are many other organizations that have been around much longer, with substantially more members, that have accomplished much more than Occupy did and yet receive almost no media coverage. When you hear about a ballot initiative, an insurgent candidate, etc., there is a whole network of activists behind the scenes working to get things done that are largely ignored.
Contrast this with Occupy; just about everyone in the U.S. knows about Occupy because of the media coverage they received. Occupy got a substantial amount of coverage, particularly when you consider the amount of people involved (smaller than a whole lot of activist networks) and the political impact they had (not much). It's true that the poor state of the media in the U.S. is a big problem, but solving that problem would make the media less focused on political theater and more focused on the people effecting actual change.
IMO, Occupy marginalized themselves by refusing to ever stand for anything. It's very easy to say what you're against. It's harder to say, in detail, what you would do differently.
Did you attend a rally? Did you sit in at a general assembly? Have you discussed the movements goals with one of its members? The media, quite falsely, reported (cherry-picking interviewees, a similar tactic used for all movements nowadays) the movement lacked any concrete goals - it is patently untrue. [1]
That's what the people marginalizing them said. To everyone else, it was pretty clear they wanted to see bankers in jail and regulatory restrictions that would prevent the problem from happening again in the same way.
