While I suspect Gary Weiss has had an extensive relationship with DTCC, Boyd says DTCC spokesman Stuart Goldstein has personally denied as much to him on multiple occasions. What remains unclear is why, for 18 months, Stu Goldstein has insisted on answering my questions through Roddy Boyd.

We knew his aim was to discredit and marginalize high profile opponents of illegal naked short selling. Yet his book, which seemed to be the launch pad of Weiss’s campaign, was quite critical of both hedge fund and prime broker culture: the two obvious sides of the naked shorting equation. So who was paying Gary Weiss to spend all day, most every day, publishing his attacks via his blog, message boards, and Wikipedia? Answer: the DTCC

What’s most noteworthy about this email is the IP from which it was sent: 70.23.42.100, which is the same I claimed proved Weiss established his pattern of online deception and sockpuppeting long ago as a poster to several Usenet groups.

Gary Weiss doesn’t like Forbes journalist Liz Moyer, whom opponents of illegal naked short selling hold in high regard for her balanced and accurate reporting on the subject.

As it happens, I know precisely who Weiss’s gnomes were. But the point is, unless Weiss employs faerie-world creatures to do his dirty work for him, he was lying when he claimed that he never posted anything to Yahoo Finance.

One of the strangest things I’ve ever seen is how Gary Weiss deals with getting caught in a lie. A great example of this is his denial of so much as editing Wikipedia, in the face of evidence that not only has he been a very active Wikipedia editor, but that he’s also engaged in an active effort to inject misinformation about illegal “naked short” stock trading, prominent opponent of naked short selling Patrick Byrne, and Overstock.com, which is the company Byrne heads as CEO.
