Overstock.com (OSTK) Falls As Consumer Fraud Investigation Highlighted

The downside pressure seen in Overstock.com Inc. (Nasdaq: OSTK) mid-day Tuesday is related to a blog post at "While Collar Fraud", which discuses the recent California District Attorney’s investigation into allegations of consumer fraud.

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