[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 897251, member: 1246"] Friday, November 4, 2011 @ 8:55 am [B]|[/B] ACORN Officials Scramble, Firing Workers And Shredding Documents After Being Exposed As Players Behind Occupy Wall Street Protests… Busted. [INDENT][COLOR=#990000](Fox News)[/COLOR] — Officials with the revamped ACORN office in New York — operating as New York Communities for Change — have fired staff, shredded reams of documents and told workers to blame disgruntled ex-employees for leaking information in an effort to explain away a FoxNews.com report last week on the group’s involvement in Occupy Wall Street protests, according to sources. NYCC also is installing surveillance ca meras and recording devices at its Brooklyn offices, removing or packing away supplies bearing the name ACORN and handing out photos of Fox News staff with a stern warning not to talk to the media, the sources said. “They’re doing serious damage control right now,” said an NYCC source. NYCC Executive Director Jon Kest has been calling a series of emergency meetings to discuss last week’s report — and taking extreme measures to identify the sources in their office and to prevent further damage, a source within NYCC told FoxNews.com . Two staffers were fired after NYCC officials suspected them as the source of the leaks, a source told FoxNews.com. “One was fired the day the story came out, the other was fired on Friday. (NYCC senior staff) told everyone that they were fired because they talked to you,” a source said. NYCC spokesman Scott Levenson denied that anyone was fired for talking to the press. [COLOR=#990000]FoxNews.com’s report[/COLOR] identified NYCC as a key organizing force behind the Occupy Wall Street protests. Sources within the group also told FoxNews.com NYCC was hiring people to carry signs and join the protests. NYCC — a nonprofit organization run almost entirely by former ACORN officials and employees — did not reply for comment prior to the publication of the initial article, but later posted a statement on its website dismissing the article and denying that it pays protesters.
