Patrick Byrne and Mark Cuban
Check out the wikipedia entry on Patrick Byrne, CEO of OSTK:
Patrick Byrne is the current (2005) CEO of Overstock.com. He belives that there is a ‘cabal’ that is out to kill overstock.com. He also has admitted to making up stories about being gay and a coke-head to try to unvail this cabal.
Apparently he thinks that Mark Cuban, who “once paid all the years fines of $1 million dollars to the NBA in US pennies,” is a “Sith Lord.” Both of these guys are characters. Check this out:
Byrne does not appear to take Overstock’s customer service problems seriously, downplaying the influx of complaints as minor issues here and small glitches there. “My bad” was his response to a horrible third quarter performance.
