Former BusinessWeek writer Gary Weiss, a frequent critic of Overstock.com and its CEO, Patrick Byrne, wants to know why the Utah papers have not covered the departure of a top executive from the company.
“Are they too terrified of the Nastiest CEO in America, Patrick Byrne, to do their jobs? Are they worried about personal attacks from Byrne? Are they afraid of their families being terrorized by the child-stalker Judd Bagley?
“These newspapers’ silence seems to substantiate one of the points in the Big Money article, which is that Byrne uses crude tactics to discourage coverage. Apparently these tactics work, and they certainly do close to home.
“Keep in mind that Chidester’s resignation is not a rumor. Overstock filed an SEC Form 8-K announcing his departure, five days after the event.”
