Prov. If you persistently say bad things about someone, people will begin to believe your accusations, even if they are not true. (Sometimes mud is used instead of dirt.) One of the candidates in the election kept accusing the other one of having cheated on his income tax, and eventually the voters believed it. As they say, throw dirt enough, and some will stick

Restrict external disclosures. Even though Regulation FD does not apply to ordinary-course business disclosures, companies should not disclose material nonpublic information to outside parties absent a valid business reason and a written confidentiality agreement. Although the SEC has stated that for purposes of Regulation FD an "express oral agreement" is sufficient and a written agreement is not required, a written agreement can better define the scope of permitted uses and eliminate subsequent disputes.
