    Why is the US Gov't after Mark Cuban... Found innocent

    DALLAS (AP) -- Mark Cuban won a years-long fight with the federal government Wednesday as jurors decided that the billionaire basketball team owner did not commit insider-trading when he sold his stake in an Internet company in 2004.

    The jury in federal district court in Dallas said that the Securities and Exchange Commission failed to prove the key elements of its case, including the claim that Cuban agreed to keep certain information confidential and not trade on it.

    The nine-member jury deliberated only a few hours before reaching the verdict that ended a three-week trial and an SEC lawsuit filed in 2008.

    Yeah!!! Why would a guy who created a ponzi scheme in college ever commit insider trading? Most billionaires commit insider trading it is just really really hard to prove in court, because rich people know all the ways to avoid prosecution.

    Mark Cuban probably did it, but the SEC couldn't prove it. They couldn't even convict Martha Stewart of insider trading, they got her on lying to federal investigators.

    SEC make his life hell when it comes to business. Anything that comes to the government and his businesses will become very difficult.

    No, I just know a guy who commits a ponzi scheme doesn't have ethics when it comes to business and would believe someone else's word over his.
