Two weeks ago, a Kos diarist by the name of Tom Sykes took issue with a post I made about the hedge fund industry. He then proceeded to trash me, by name, in a post he wrote slamming Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, who runs an investigative blog called Deep Capture.
Over the past few years, Deep Capture has published numerous reports on the the improprieties that some hedge funds have engaged in, such as naked short selling and blatant stock manipulation. Deep Capture has also exposed a number of journalists who shill for a network of hedge funds, pumping reports that these hedge funds are trading on and trashing their critics.
