Investigative business journalist Roddy Boyd, who used to work for Fortune and the New York Post business desk, responded Tuesday to allegations from a company he recently wrote about on his site, The Financial Investigator.
Boyd writes, “Robert Bursky, the independant General Counsel for John Thomas Financial, has written out a series of pointed questions expressing their anger over this story. Moving past questions over who my sources were and whether they paid me – I’m not telling and no I was not – Bursky’s questions speak to whether the preperation for this story was fair and thorough. I argue it was both. Every chance was afforded JTF to respond (as can be seen plainly below), I was specific about what I sought to write, and most importantly everything that was written came from documents that JTF currently has in their posession.
“Bursky’s questions are here. My response is here. I stand by everything I wrote. I made a good faith effort to include their views and am not certain – save for their allegation that Kai Patterson was recently indicted for fraud, something which if true, I should have discovered – where I made the profound mistakes they accuse me of.”
