Mark Cuban Charged With Insider Trading
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.

Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new nigger! If handled properly, your apeman will give years of valuable, if reluctant, service.
Wow, I had no idea so many celebrities posted on Slashdot. First we get Wesley Crusher, now Rush Limbaugh!

Whatever happened happened in 2004, but he's being charged only in the last few weeks Bush can direct the SEC.
Funny how the other thing that happened recently was that Cuban just launched a website, BailoutSleuth">BailoutSleuth [bailoutsleuth.com] looking into and organizing against the Bush/Paulson Wall Street bailout.
BTW, in America people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, especially when Bush has a political crusade at stake. Even if Cuban is guilty, it's pretty "coincidental" timing to start prosecuting him.
Interesting how Cuban suddenly gets prosecuted right after he launches a website [texasbudgetsource.com] organizing against the Bush/Paulson Wall Street bailout called BailoutSleuth [bailoutsleuth.com], in the final weeks of Bush's power to direct the SEC, even though Cuban's transactions happened in 2004.
And by "interesting", I mean "suspiciously consistent with Bush's treatment of the Justice Department as a political asset for selective prosecution".
Because Cuban is a billionaire Net entrepreneur [wikipedia.org]. Including harnessing P2P for infrastructure, while publicly championing the technique's place on the Internet despite network operator and copyright holder intererence. He's also spoken influentially for realistic revisions to copyright, contrary to some of his obvious interests as a major copyright holder, as an informed Internet business guru.
He just got hit with an SEC suit by the outgoing Bush on 4 year old charges, right after he launched a website investigating and organizing against Bush's Wall Street bailout [bailoutsleuth.com].
Those topics are all often popular on Slashdot.
FWIW, what little you heard is just the initial press response repeating the SEC's charges. If that were enough to decide guilt, Bush would have had all 60M people who vote Democratic behind bars over the past 8 years. In fact, we might even have, say, invaded Iraq amidst fanfare and WMD hysteria if we all just believed whatever the press initially reported when a Bush agency told us one of its enemies was guilty of something.
That's how many times you posted the same damned regurgitated idea (and I'm sure you're not done for the day).
Shut up.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Seriously, learn to articulate yourself once. Post once, then you're done. This ping pong shit you and I are doing? That's called childish. There's no room for that here. If someone thought about something you should have thought of it before you posted, bow out. Be a man. Construct an argument or idea. Deliver it once and deliver it well. If you fail, better luck next time.
