The blog claims Overstock.com is obstructing and stonewalling the investigation, including a recent request for the company to turn over the present or last known contact information for certain former employees with knowledge of alleged fraudulent pricing practices.

Shares of Overstock.com are down 4.3 percent in mid-day trading.
