Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase & Co., faced hecklers as he arrived to testify on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning in a case regarding JPMorgan's $2-billion loss in risky derivatives trades, according to the Los Angeles Times

As Dimon took his seat, a man yelled "Jamie Dimon's a crook.  This guy should be going to prison."

After a few moments of quiet, the man and a group of protestors began chanting "Stop foreclosures now!"  They were removed from the court house. 

In his testimony, Dimon defended the bank, promising a profitable second quarter, and offered an apology to the people JPMorgan has let down.
