No. Occupy was generated by Adbusters, a non-profit group. The campaign went viral, and then launched into the thing it became.

"Somebody had an idea and it grew naturally from there" is very different than "somebody conjured it up out of whole cloth by dumping money on people." Adbusters planted the seed, but Occupy was hardly a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Adbusters Inc., especially by the time it became something significant.
