In a recent series of telephone interviews, the man who founded internet giant CNet and whose riches soared to $355 million around the turn of the century alleges that everything the public has been told about him in recent days is wrong.
Minor says he's not to blame for the Landmark mess, he's not broke, and he's not going to let go of the hotel without a fight–- even if it means millions in legal bills.
"I'm going to finish that damn hotel," says Minor, "because I started it."
