Organizers were forced to pull the plug on a virtual event with Christopher Waller after participant displayed pornographic images.
Organizers had to pull the plug on a virtual Zoom conference featuring U.S. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller after it was “hijacked” by a participant who started posting pornographic images.

It is an incident we deeply regret,” he added.
