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.
Hi, my name is Barack Hussein Obongo and I approve of this message
Congratulations on your purchase of a brand new nigger! If handled properly, your apeman will give years of valuable, if reluctant, service.
INSTALLING YOUR NIGGER.
You should install your nigger differently according to whether you have purchased the field or house model. Field niggers work best in a serial configuration, i.e. chained together. Chain your nigger to another nigger immediately after unpacking it, and don't even think about taking that chain off, ever. Many niggers start singing as soon as you put a chain on them. This habit can usually be thrashed out of them if nipped in the bud. House niggers work best as standalone units, but should be hobbled or hamstrung to prevent attempts at escape. At this stage, your nigger can also be given a name. Most owners use the same names over and over, since niggers become confused by too much data. Rufus, Rastus, Remus, Toby, Carslisle, Carlton, Hey-You!-Yes-you!, Yeller, Blackstar, and Sambo are all effective names for your new buck nigger. If your nigger is a ho, it should be called Latrelle, L'Tanya, or Jemima. Some owners call their nigger hoes Latrine for a joke. Pearl, Blossom, and Ivory are also righteous names for nigger hoes. These names go straight over your nigger's head, by the way.
CONFIGURING YOUR NIGGER
Owing to a design error, your nigger comes equipped with a tongue and vocal chords. Most niggers can master only a few basic human phrases with this apparatus - "muh dick" being the most popular. However, others make barking, yelping, yapping noises and appear to be in some pain, so you should probably call a vet and have him remove your nigger's tongue. Once de-tongued your nigger will be a lot happier - at least, you won't hear it complaining anywhere near as much. Niggers have nothing interesting to say, anyway. Many owners also castrate their niggers for health reasons (yours, mine, and that of women, not the nigger's). This is strongly recommended, and frankly, it's a mystery why this is not done on the boat
HOUSING YOUR NIGGER.
Your nigger can be accommodated in cages with stout iron bars. Make sure, however, that the bars are wide enough to push pieces of nigger food through. The rule of thumb is, four niggers per square yard of cage. So a fifteen foot by thirty foot nigger cage can accommodate two hundred niggers. You can site a nigger cage anywhere, even on soft ground. Don't worry about your nigger fashioning makeshift shovels out of odd pieces of wood and digging an escape tunnel under the bars of the cage. Niggers never invented the shovel before and they're not about to now. In any case, your nigger is certainly too lazy to attempt escape. As long as the free food holds out, your nigger is living better than it did in Africa, so it will stay put. Buck niggers and hoe niggers can be safely accommodated in the same cage, as bucks never attempt sex with black hoes.
FEEDING YOUR NIGGER.
Your Nigger likes fried chicken, corn bread, and watermelon. You should therefore give it none of these things because its lazy ass almost certainly doesn't deserve it. Instead, feed it on porridge with salt, and creek water. Your nigger will supplement its diet with whatever it finds in the fields, other niggers, etc. Experienced nigger owners sometimes push watermelon slices through the bars of the nigger cage at the end of the day as a treat, but only if all niggers have worked well and nothing has been stolen that day. Mike of the Old Ranch Plantation reports that this last one is a killer, since all niggers steal something almost every single day of their lives. He reports he doesn't have to spend much on free watermelon for his niggers as a result. You should never allow your nigger meal breaks while at work, since if it stops work for more than ten minutes it will need to be retrained. You would be surprised how long it takes to teach a nigger to pick cotton. You really would. Coffee beans? Don't ask. You h
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 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.

I took notice of that too. Apparently the Bush administration is attempting harass him into compliance. We aren't too far off from China now: with the socialism and now political prisoners.
Because Cuban is a billionaire Net entrepreneur. 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.
Those topics are all often popular on Slashdot.

Obama will pardon him just like Clinton did Marc Rich!
Man uses free market mechanisms to avoid losing three quarters of a million bucks, and Big Brother comes down on him.
I can't imagine not selling stock after learning of some upcoming bad news, by any means.
what are you supposed to do?
``Gee, I'm going to lose 750 thousand dollars just to be a law-abiding citizen, out of the goodness of my heart''.
This is no more wrong than counting cards at a black jack table.
So Cuban is "guilty" of making some movies about Bush crimes that had already happened, or of "pretending to sniff cocaine", or paying fines for yelling at NBA refs, or saying something bizarrely self-contradictory about P2P. That has nothing to do with preemptive activism depriving Bush of his final $TRILLION ripoff.
But since you are evidently guilty of collecting Bill O'Reilly talking points to defend Bush attacking the guy exposing that ripoff, I'm going to take your post as confirmation that your wingnut army is going after Cuban with the last power it has left, since America just fired it for its decade of crimes.

alleging that he divested himself of stock in mamma.com before the stock was diluted via a public offering.
Will now turn into:

Ah ok, a bit far-stretch...FETCHED!
