Overstock CEO Publishes Interview with BusinessWeek Reporter
By Ina Steiner
EcommerceBytes.com
January 16, 2006




Overstock.com president Patrick Byrne published his responses to BusinessWeek reporter Timothy Mullaney on TheSanityCheck.com Web site. In a press release issued by Overstock, Byrne said in part, "Had I not responded to Tim's extensive questions, or had I responded privately, there is some tiny chance that he may have taken liberties with the truth. My responses also contain operational detail to which I feel all investors should be alerted. So given that Tim intended this to be an on-the-record interview, I treated it as on the record, and am publishing it myself first." Following detailed questions about Overstock's finances came questions about Byrne's weight gain and mental health.
