Protesters disrupt State Street annual meeting

BOSTON | Wed May 16, 2012 11:44am EDT

(Reuters) - Protesters calling themselves the "99 percent" disrupted State Street Corp's annual meeting on Wednesday, using a coordinated plan to interrupt Chairman and Chief Executive Jay Hooley five different times.

The group accused State Street of dodging taxes, outsourcing jobs, investing in a private prison and defrauding pension fund clients.

The protesters shouted a number of things, including: "You should be ashamed of yourselves," during Hooley's presentation to shareholders.

Later in the meeting, Hooley said the bank had done none of the things it was being accused of.

1. As a former holder of one of the jobs outsourced to Mumbai....

...I can say categorically that Jay Hooley is lying through his teeth.

But he's a bankster. Expect it.
