Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that's-a-way-to-make-bank dept.

geekboy_x writes "The SEC today charged Mark Cuban with insider trading violations, alleging that he divested himself of stock in mamma.com before the stock was diluted via a public offering." Something tells me that the billionaire blogger won't be talking about this one publicly any time soon.

    Maybe he can get Martha Stewart's old cell. Should be a nice homey place...

    I wish *I* could be charged with insider trading.

    It would mean I'm worth it enough to go after :(

    Ya but he didn't do anything nerdy. He's just another MBA asshat like all the other people we've been taught to despise. His only claim to fame is playing the stock game, and poorly at that. He just got reeeeeeeeally lucky.

    The main difference between Mark Cuban and the Powerball winners, is Mark Cuban was born with his ass where his mouth should be.

    YES, Sell, sell, sell. You should do what I do: base your trading on rumours you hear on Slashdot.
