Remember -- Sam Antar has an alibi? He admits to all the lies and stealing he has been convicted of? Ergo, he must be telling the truth now. Or, something along those lines.
The thing is, even if he wasn't a convicted felon, his actions and words in the last six months would be enough to convince me that he is a scam-artist. All the, "I was so horrible in my past life, I deserve everything you can call me and worse!" doesn't change that part of the equation.
Then there is the question of whether he has any understanding of Overstock, the business, to begin with. I don't know. I can't make sense of his stream-of-consciousness rants even when they are talking about me, let alone anything else. Though, they are well-peppered with inflammatory words, accusations, etc. That much comes across.
I think his scam was honed in face-to-face interactions. Then, you may think there is a method to the madness and you just missed the beautiful reasoning in all the fast-talk. That doesn't work in writing, though, unless you are just scanning the page. Maybe that's why all his rants are so tediously long and quote the same things in full over and over again.
