A massive financial crime is occurring within the United States. The institutions that should be stopping it have been captured by the criminals who are doing it. Corporate governance has turned into a hoax while companies are destroyed, pensions looted, society is deprived of innovations, and the nation's financial system may implode. The financial press is so willfully blind it borders on a cover-up. The dots are being connected in the world of social media, but the same criminals who are behind the financial scam are manipulating social media to forestall the day of social epiphany. And yes, I know this all sounds like a bad Sandra Bullock movie.

Rocker Partners also entirely dropped its own countersuit.

Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne is a frequent contributor to DeepCapture.com.

This is a major victory, not only for Patrick and Overstock.com, but for all public companies targeted by bear raiding hedge funds.

But thanks to the unusually skewed reporting surrounding it, chances are you either hadn’t heard about the suit, or were under the impression it was frivolous and certain to fail.

This presentation explains part of the story behind the coverage of the suit, using some innovative methods to explain why what you heard about the suit and its merits likely had little in common with the reality of it.

As promised in the video, researchers are encouraged to find additional links within the Facebook friend lists of the short-selling hedge funds and journalists and bloggers who love them. To make the process easier, I’ve compiled this spreadsheet. If you discover anything interesting, particularly with respect to the hedge funds and reporters linked to other bear raid targets, please write about your findings it in the comment section below.

Also, very shortly I’ll be adding an interactive, dynamic relationship browser to this post, which will make it easy for you to visualize these networks.
