From the Byrne "rant" you cited: "PS By the way, for the record once again, ASM receives support from neither myself nor Overstock, and was started, I believe, before Judd joined Overstock. And no, Judd's title of 'Director of Social media' has nothing to do with any of this stuff. It has to do with something amazing that he has been building."
As Scipio pointed out, ASM was registered in September; Bagley was hired by OSTK in August. From what I gather, Bagley's big project appears to be compiling a list of 1000s of message board aliases in an effort to prove "the big conspiracy". Byrne and Bagley need to attend the closest Apopheniacs Anonymous class before it's too late.
ipfrelee? Gee, that was the punchline to a very amusing joke someone told me when I was 8 years old.
An actual honest-to-Gosh CEO is now using that as a screen name? Oh, yes, I want to trust HIM with my modest investable nest egg!
"In other words, "shut the f--- up..."
I pretty much got the same warning.
"To repeat myself in my last post to you: GET LOST."

Then he asked me a question 8 hours later. He seems conflicted.
Just to document the Bagley/Byrne "friendship" goes well back before Bagley was "officially" hired by OSTK, consider this comment by Bagley on "Bob O'Brien's" blog:

Dan,
Call whomever you want. I'm just suggesting a call to the SEC is a wasted one.
...
And since I am a friend of Patrick's I'll tell you this: when he has time, he meets with members of Congress, not the SEC. In fact, I appear in a photo, not yet one month old, alongside Patrick and a particularly important US senator (and almost certain future candidate for president), taken following an hour-long meeting in which Patrick walked him through the whole process."
Scipio can I get you to ask Bagley what is his relationship with Lichtenstein? The reason why I ask is that I write about perpetual motion machine scams. These are low rent operations that never make anything but announcements or sell anything but stock.
The publicly traded ones of course never make it to market because of NSS. The privately traded ones never make it to market because of technology supression orchestrated by the CIA, of course the Jooz, and this might surprise you a bit, the Jesuits. (I would appreciate any pointers to the standard manual of insane anti-Jesuit defamation.)
Gary I like the comparison you made between NSS and recovery room scams. But there is also a relationship to prime bank / prosperity scams. In a prime bank scam, the story is that there is way to virtually print money, as sure-fire as it is secret, previously known only to the Jooz and the Vatican, and if you give money to the grifter, he's supposed to connect you to the gravy train.
NSS is the flip side of that. There is a dark and destructive way of making money as sure-fire as it is secret, controlled by the Jooz and the Sith, that destroys decent companies. So you are supposed to blame the Jooz and the Sith for the money you lost rather than the grifter you gave your money to.
For both the NSS and prime bank scams, you end up attracting a lot of Know Nothings who can't stop their own self-debunking rhetoric.
