Around 3:41 pm yesterday, the technical team watching the vote counter on a grass root campaign's website noticed that the “no” votes increased dramatically.

A few days ago robinhoodtax.com, asked the public to vote on a "tiny" tax on bankers that would donate no more than .05% of each banking transaction to the poor.

They say it would raise more than $100 billion pounds.

Robin Hood’s security team said that it traced the erroneous votes to two computers, one of which is allegedly registered to Goldman, according to The Telegraph.
