- ECF CEO Resigns. A posting today on the Atticus forum, apparently leaked, reports the resignation of Martin Regan and another Director following yesterday's Council meeting. Our information, from a trusted source, is that both resignations are real and there is a third. We hear from a different source that there is a fourth; and from the Junior Director that she has resigned.
We don't know more. Watch this space and others, and we'll try to get our Council Report out tomorrow.
