Occupy Wall Street Protests not working? What do you think?

Aside from which.... when did I say people shouldn't be mad about MF Global?  I'm saying the situation is working how it should.  They're going out of buisness, and chances are the executives WILL do some jail time here because it's one big case that's in everyones view.

I mean, what's the alternative here?

The alternative to just flat out protesting Washington is to focus on key areas that have problems and try to build sufficient public interest and awareness in the subject something can be done.  Considering the partisan climate where the goal isn't to address problems, but blame one side as the ship comes down, the pressuring Washington, and say getting a few congressment elected (the way the Tea Party has) isn't going to work.  So long as the game consists of arguing on forums like that to prove oneself right, and not levelsetting on what the real problems are, then there is irreversable problems.  Like, you know what is likely to happen in Washington?  Well, look for a total reversal of the Bush Tax cuts and the cross the board budget cuts, including impacting the department of defense to happen, because neither side will give ground.

And as was shown in the articles I listed, there are legitimate fraud problems in Wall Street that go beyond mere too much risk.

Right... and?  Fraud sometimes happens in Wall-Street.  Just like crime happens... everywhere.

The main difference is, fraud on Wallstreet, as mentioned in the articles you provided is EASY to find.  The problem is a lack of enforcement.

All the protesting in the world won't change that if not directed at the enforcers.
