Stephen I’m not losing control of my company because of a bitter ex-fiancée with a revenge fantasy. Not happening. The elevator doors close and I immediately call the one person who actually understands how war works in corporate America. “Richard, I need legal in the conference room. Now.” On the other end, my attorney doesn’t hesitate. “That bad?” “Worse.” “I’ll be there in ten.” The call ends. I step into my office and slam the door harder than necessary. My laptop is already blowing up with alerts. Investors asking questions. Media requesting comments. Board members demanding explanations. Fantastic. I open the investor report again and scan through the highlighted sections. Still the same conclusion. The documents are real. But the story built around them? Are Lies
