Abstract
We give a Seiberg-like dual description of the interacting superconformal infrared fixed point of gauge theory in three dimensions with vanishing Chern Simons level and fundamental flavors. These theories are known as "bad" theories due to the existence of unitarity violating monopole operators. We show that, in a dual description, all such operators are realized by free fields and the remainder theory is the Seiberg-like dual previously identified using the type IIB brane construction.
