As I have stated several times this week, I am man who deeply cares for Dr. Patrick Michael Byrne. I will defend him, you have been warned. . I have his back and he has mine. It's a trust you may never understand. You should know how thrilled and alive it makes me feel to know I can defend a man of his honor and popularity! Your blog is worthless. Thank You for proving to everyone that all the World is against this fine and upstanding man. You must stop treating this man so callously! You should be ashamed! I for one, see him as he is: a leader of men. If Dr. Byrne would ask me to lay down my life for this cause, I would do so! I stand beside him and praise the good work this noble man has done. You have a choice: join us or perish in the damnation of greed and sin. We will not allow all to join us in the new order that is forming as Wall Street burns to the ground. Join now or forever be a victim to the crimes and distortions of the elite media. Posted by

Lee, I suggest you and your readers educate yourself about how the DTCC Clearance and Settlement system is totally corrupted at it core by reading Dr. Jim DeCosta's letter to the SEC: www.sec.gov/comments/s7-30-08/s73008-75.pdf Everyone should especially note page 13 - 22 where the following is explained: >>>> THE ANATOMY OF A TRILLION DOLLAR HEIST It is quite amazing how stock is sold and never delivered by the Wall Street Criminals, and that this practice is completely supported and facilitated by the corrupt DTCC system for clearance and settlement. Counterfeiting shares of stock is the quickest way to become wealthier by increasing the liquidity of one's bank account with other peoples money. Why would a Wall Street Criminal want to deliver stock shares they sold when the DTCC system allows them to counterfeit shares and are never required to supply a delivery date? Not only this, but all the counterfeit shares of stock can also be sold again and again in the corrupted DTCC system!!! And we the buying public are forbidden by the corrupted DTCC system from knowing if the stock we bought was ever delivered. Wall Street Criminals have figures out that they can become rich by selling counterfeit shares of stock, which they never have to deliver according to the DTCC system. With this knowledge in hand, can anyone say that Dr. Byrne is making this up? No, no one can. The better question is >
Why are you Lee ignorant of these facts about the corrupted DTCC system? Or are you? Posted by

Very impressive Lee. Now that you haven't the opportunity to hype convicted felon Anthony Elgindy I see you have focused your energies on hyping the work of similarly convicted felon Sam Antar. The problem you face is that Sam has met with the SEC on numerous occasions and they have yet to agree with his repeated claims. Bringing in Coenen and Weiss into the equation is equally irresponsible reporting without likewise reporting the cozy relationship the three have. For an unbiased reporter you certainly do come across with an axe to grind here. Posted by

Dave: Very impressive Lee. Thank you. Now that you haven't the opportunity to hype convicted felon Anthony Elgindy I see you have focused your energies on hyping the work of similarly convicted felon Sam Antar. Apart from a few nutbars and perhaps a handful of people with reading comprehension difficulties, I do not see how anyone could construe my coverage of the Elgindy trial as hype. As for Mr. Antar, I think I have done a fair job of presenting his well-supported arguments regarding some issues relating to Overstock.com's accounting. Again, I suppose a few nutbars and perhaps a handful of people with reading comprehension difficulties might construe that as hype. So be it. The problem you face is that Sam has met with the SEC on numerous occasions and they have yet to agree with his repeated claims. I do not know whether it is actually the case that the SEC has "yet to agree with his repeated claims" and even if that were the case, it hardly presents a problem for me. Of course, I can follow Mr. Antar's arguments, review and understand the supporting documentation and draw my own conclusions about whether he is right. Frankly, I find it more than a tad peculiar that an avid proponent of the notion of "captured regulators," someone who used his investigatethesec.com website and mailing list to distribute dozens of tedious rants about the ineffectiveness of the SEC, would even suggest that an adverse conclusion can be drawn about Mr. Antar's claims simply because the SEC purportedly does not agree with him. Bringing in Coenen and Weiss into the equation is equally irresponsible reporting without likewise reporting the cozy relationship the three have. Setting aside the fact that you hardly qualify as an authority on responsible reporting, I do not know that Mr. Antar, Ms. Coenen and Mr. Weiss have a "cozy" relationship or any relationship at all beyond at least an occasional interest in Overstock.com and Patrick Byrne. I think "cozy" would more aptly describe your previous relationship with the late Gayle Essary, former stock tout and naked short selling conspiracist, and Mark Faulk, current CEO of a revoked pink sheet scam and naked short selling conspiracist. For an unbiased reporter you certainly do come across with an axe to grind here. And you, Dave, as always, come across just as would be expected by anyone familiar with your background. Lee Posted by

Lee M. Webb
@ 2009-02-20 20:20
I am afraid that Sam Antar is not joking. Lenofus has referred to Bryne as a "man-God". If you devote time to study the posts and doings of the followers of Byrne - paid and unpaid - that foul waft William K. Wolfrum detected permeates the atmosphere like Pepe Le Pew in heat. The truth may eventually out, but in the meantime, my speculation is that the reason Patrick Byrne has avoided SEC action is because of a combination of an especially dysfunctional Utah SEC branch office, and Byrne's core talent, perhaps his only talent: He is a cunning manipulator. I have no doubt that another manifestation of apophenia is coming from Bryne and his "Black Ops" crew that will demonstrate that the recent wellspring of criticism aimed at Bryne is all interconnected by a dark force using dark matter. The longer this drags on, the greater the embarrassment for the SEC. Posted by

I think the only one missing for the gang would be Tony Ryals but from what I can gather, none of you bailed him out of the crazy farm this time around. Lee, I was wondering whether you have spent any time reviewing the e-Mails Mitchell is posting on deepcapture.com and how they tie so many together. It seems that you want to use your access to the media to present a story and yet you fail to look at the evidence that pits the accuracy of your story in question. Now I recognize that to discuss such evidence may put in jeopardy your feelings towards a few convicted felons and other questionable sorts but you may want to consider looking into those e-mails before you make more of a fool of yourself. BTW...Yes the SEC is captured but then again, yes Sam Antar is a convicted felon who personally benefits from trashing companies - justified or not. Posted by

The above email (acquired through discovery in Fairfax’s lawsuit against some members of the “group”) makes reference in the first line to journalist Herb Greenberg, who bashed Fairfax on CNBC, apparently causing the stock to go “down 3 on the open.” Other emails in our collection (we’ll publish a couple more of them) suggest that Herb’s reporting involved nothing more than contacting the “group” to find out what he was supposed to say.

Well, I don't do babysitting, nor do I have need of a babysitter, so your endorsement of Mr. Byrne as a babysitter is wasted on me. Perhaps Mr. Byrne would appreciate your babysitting reference, however. After all, being trusted with the responsibility of providing adult supervision rather than being the subject of adult supervision marks a certain progress toward maturity. This is from a July 29, 2008, Overstock.com news release: "Jonathan has developed into a tremendous asset for our team," said Patrick Byrne, chairman and CEO of Overstock.com. "He has gone from simply providing adult supervision for me, to being a fine, aggressive contributor across many facets of our firm's operations." Lee Posted by

Sam, Sam, Sam. Your claims against Overstock are similar to those made by similarly convicted felon Barry Minkow. Problem is, while both of you claim wrongdoing no regulator who has reviewed their books relative to your complaints have come to similar conclusion. So how do your past actions relate to present activities - They both appear to have been based on an orchestration of deceit. Now as to my legal fees. Funny how that is the best you have to go after me on as like your attacks on Overstock's accounting you appear short on detail. You see, James Cramer tried to sue me for slander to shut me up as I addressed him over naked shorting issues and his comments dating back to 2005. Jim has now come to my way of thinking by the way. Anyway, I spoke to Patrick about this not for payment but with regards to an attorney we both were acquainted with. Jim really hadn't much of a case and was using attorney's at TheStreet.com to harass me. I sent the attorney a retainer to draft a response of which, as I explained before, the retainer was returned uncashed. The fact that Patrick covered the expense was unknown to me until he blogged it so you knew at or before the time I knew. No hiding, simple facts you keep ignoring and trying to make into something much more than it was. BTW...Since it was nothing more than a memo response to their claims what do you figure the cost was? Do you think it was more or less than the $300,000 you paid convicted felon Barry Minkow to stalk public companies? BTW...How is your buddy Gary Weiss doing now that he was thrown off Wikipedia for lying and was outed for hyping his pathetic book using a technique of sock puppeting? Posted by

It comes with the territory when you expose scamming companies like Overstock.com and lying CEOs like Patrick Byrne. Patrick Byrne lies to his shareholders while masquerading around as a stock market reformer. Dave Patch, who belatedly admitted that Byrne paid his legal fees, masquerades as a stock market reformer, while defending Patrick Byrne's lies. By masquerading as stock market reformers, both Patrick Byrne and Dave Patch seek to build a wall of false integrity around them. They use their wall of false integrity in an attempt to gain credibility for their expressed “outrage, furor, defense, insults and the like.” Regards, Sam Posted by

Sam Antar keeps spinning wheels in his plight to discredit Dr. Byrne. It's quite disturbing to witness his incessant drum beat of negativity. GAAP crap, is all I can say. The key factor for any business is cash flow. At least in the case of the $1.8 million gain, I see new cash that hadn't been accounted for previously. In summary, that's a good thing for Overstock's balance sheet. Posted by

''To think such a honorable set of cretins don't think highly of me. I think the only one missing for the gang would be Tony Ryals but from what I can gather, none of you bailed him out of the crazy farm this time around.'' - David Patch Well Well Well,While I finally noticed the two warring gangs of penny stock criminals including the scummy scammy self rigteous con artist Mr.Brownsfield were here as well as the skkkumbag David Patch who I quote above.Note neither gang informed me of your articles Mr.Webb.So they both lie I am not part of any of their gangs and Charles Schwab could verify if it wished to that I was ripped off in their mutual penny stock scams.I suspect James Brownfield is also den of thieves on ragingbull but not sure.They do have much in common.Denofthieves used to try to get me off ragingbull and ragingbull wanted me off so the fraudsters could continue to defraud innocents who discovered the site.You would think we,Brownsfield and I, had similar beliefs but his views are phoney like his scam journalist pal Gary Weiss of Steve Forbes' digital rag.Weiss and he have claimed that 'naked shorting' would not hurt a stock's share price which is like arguing that German's printing of excess currency in the 1930's did not effect currency value.In fact the U.S. is about to just print more dollar currency just to replace that sent offshore in scams both these criminal groups aid abet and profit from due to their close connections to corrupt officials in the SEC and I believe CIA,etc..Both groups are more allied to Israeli money laundering banks or offshores in general that to Am ericans who are hurting because they continue their frauds on the internet and through brokers and offshore account in my opinion. And you'll never hear any of them lament or even mention that 911 was funded or at least the incompetent pennt stock
'companies' Securacom of Marvin Bush,Wirt Walker III and
the Al Sabah which began trading or dumping shares in 1997 at $8.50 per share and the Israeli criminal enterprise ICTS International that incorporated in Joe Biden's state of Delware in 1999 were both stock frauds.And they or at least the Israeli criminal enterprise were easily placed on NASDAQ in 1999.Thanks again Mr.Madoff.
