Scott Blum Buying Back Buy.com

from the can't-stay-away dept

Scott Blum is the guy (with quite the colorful history) who founded Buy.com, and made it into a huge e-commerce play by selling everything for less than it cost him. He’s also the guy who the investment banks wanted to force out of the company two and a half years ago before they would take it public. Now it turns out that he’s worked out a deal to buy the company. If nothing else, I expect him to get random publicity somehow for Buy.com.
