Original Published with Bitcoins & Gravy On today's show I am honored to be speaking with a modern day American patriot, Mr. Patrick Byrne - the CEO of [overstock.com](http://overstock.com). Patrick teaches us about public education in the United States and how it is sadly broken on many levels - with more money often going to administration than to our teachers and our students. Patrick also tells us the truth about the SEC. He talks to us about mobsters on Wall Street and the crooked games they've all but perfected to rob this country blind. And of course he tells us about his project to create the stock market of the future – one devoid of the criminal elements.
