Protesters from several Occupy groups — Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, N.C. State University — interrupted Wells Fargo’s CEO, John Stumpf, during a speech Wednesday night at State, shouting things like, “Your leadership has led to the death of the American Dream.”

The Occupiers then infiltrated the Q&A session of the presentation with hard questions that Stumpf dodged.

No one was arrested.
