The Susan Antilla method
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Preface: A word about the law and the press. It’s safe to say that, thanks to the protections rightly granted journalists in the Bill of Rights, almost nobody ever successfully sues a reporter. The standard of proof is too high and the weight of case law too overwhelming for even blatantly egregious cases to succeed [...]

How not to respond to a subpoena by the SEC
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Take a trip with me, back to early 2006. On January 7, Jordan Goldstein, general counsel of TheStreet.com, pronounced that company co-founder Jim Cramer had never sold a single share of TSCM stock. Exactly one month later, Jim Cramer announces, via the adoption of a rule 10b5-1 plan, his intention to exercise 150,000 stock options [...]

Sam Antar and Gary Weiss pile absurdity upon absurdity
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
As any engineer will attest, the key to an enduring structure is a solid foundation. Builders who choose not to worry about foundation issues will deliver a product that’s worthless at best, and a dangerous liability at worst. Likewise, arguments crafted without a foundation amount to something ranging from worthless to dangerous. In both cases, [...]

Yolanda Holtzee’s House of Mirrors
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Before reading what follows, it’s important to know that Yahoo! message board aliases ymh_ymh_ymh, ursa_of_245_park_avenue, ursa_383_madison_avenue, and ursa_minor_245 all belong to Yolanda Holtzee.

Floyd Schneider: a paid stock message board basher unmasked
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Because Gary Weiss was found to be behind the first real example of multi-ID message board bashing to be publicly proved, and because it was apparent from writing and posting styles that one person was making a large percentage of all bashing contributions to the Yahoo boards in particular, we concluded that Gary was generally [...]

Gary Weiss, Amazon.com sockpuppet
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
UPDATE: as explained here, shortly after the following post was published, all of the reviews of each of the five “reviewers” examined were deleted by the reviewer himself, whom we posit to be Gary Weiss. Consequently, the links to the original reviews included in this post lead to blank pages. Still, we leave the post [...]

Darl J Dumont: dedicated stock message board troll
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
I would like to address the one interesting and worthwhile point made by the toy army deployed to attack this effort and those people presumed to be part of it. It came in the form of a question posted to Yahoo’s Overstock.com message board by topangan90065, which reads as follows: Take a good look at [...]

Eliot “Slowhand” Spitzer & His Many Sugar Daddies
06 April 2008 by Patrick Byrne
This is not another tirade against Eliot Spitzer, the man who slunk out of the New York Governor’s Mansion to the sound of champagne corks popping up and down Wall Street. As I said at the time in an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox Business News, I am familiar enough with the culture of [...]
