In a speech at the Forum for Corporate Directors in California, Gallagher said he hopes the SEC can “make real headway” in its initiative to reduce unnecessary disclosures. And he said a piece-by-piece approach is preferable to addressing the issue in a comprehensive fashion. “I would prefer to address discrete issues now rather than risk spending years preparing an offensive so massive that it may never be launched,” Gallagher said.

She created bogus Facebook accounts for the couple and other family members and sent herself hundreds of vile sexual taunts. Chapman then reported the abuse to police – claiming she had been trolled – to frame them. [Daily Mail]
