Overstook CEO resign Comments on Deep State,
Byrnes resignation, effective immediately, comes after he said last week that he had assisted the U.S. Department of Justice in the Russian investigation into the 2016 elections and the Federal Bureau of Investigations operation regarding Hilary Clinton, claiming he was the notorious missing Chapter 1 of the Russian investigation.
He also said he was romantically involved with jailed Russian agent Maria Butina.
Everything is backwards in America.
Though patriotic Americans are writing me in support, my presence may affect and complicate all manner of business relationships, from insurability to strategic discussions regarding our retail business, Byrne said. Thus, while I believe that I did what was necessary for the good of the country, for the good of the firm, I am in the sad position of having to sever ties with Overstock, both as CEO and board member, effective Thursday August 22.”
