Yeah, I know...he's another nut...I know he got sued for defamation...
But again, it's odd how when you go against the deep state, you get seriously ****ed.
This isn't a dumb guy:
Quote:
Patrick Byrne was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is the son of John J. Byrne, former chairman of Berkshire Hathaway's GEICO insurance subsidiary and White Mountains Insurance Group.[12] He holds a certificate from Beijing Normal University, has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chinese studies from Dartmouth College, a master's degree from Cambridge University as a Marshall Scholar, and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford University.[13][14]
Byrne was a teaching fellow at Stanford University from 1989 to 1991 and was manager of Blackhawk Investment Co. and Elissar, Inc. He served as chairman, president and CEO of Centricut, LLC, a manufacturer of industrial torches, then held the same three positions at Fechheimer Brothers, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway company manufacturing police, firefighter, and military uniforms.[12][15]

He's probably best known as former CEO of Overstock.com and the guy that railed against naked short sellers on Wall Street whom he accused of ****ing over Overstock.
Anyhoo...it's always amazing how if you go against the grain (hate on Wall Street short sellers...hate on the deep state), you end up getting ****ed and portrayed as NUTSO...no matter how smart you were in your former life...
