Overstock.com’s CEO, Patrick Byrne, leaves the company after statements about ‘Deep State’ in a press release issued last week.
An interview highlighted Byrne’s issues with the way law enforcement handled a case involving his romantic partner, Maria Butina, who is now serving 18 months in a Russian prison.
Patrick Byrne explains, “My presence could — and likely would — be disruptive to strategic conversations that are occurring, one of which is with my most preferred suitor in the entire industry."
