NACA's "Predators Tour" Targets Financial Giants As Activists Protest At CEOs' Homes; Dump Furniture On Front Lawn
- Between 350 and 400 people, most of them members, staff or volunteers for the [Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America], converged outside the Greenwich home of William Frey, manager of Greenwich Financial Services, at around 1 p.m. [Sunday].
- Wearing bright yellow hats and t-shirts with pictures of sharks and the words "Stop Loan Sharks," protesters had already targeted the home of John Mack, CEO of Morgan Stanley, at 6 Club Road, Rye, N.Y. earlier in the day.
- At Frey's house, 10 Glenville Road, Greenwich, they chanted slogans such as "Fix our loans, save our homes." They placed furniture on the lawn to symbolize the dislocation felt by people who have had their homes foreclosed upon and been evicted, their belongings tossed outside by state
