DALLAS (AP) -- A government lawyer says the drive to win that helps Mark Cuban succeed in business led the billionaire basketball owner to cheat by using insider information to sell stock in an Internet company.

''Mark Cuban violated the law, and he knew better,'' Securities and Exchange Commission lawyer Jan Folena said Tuesday during opening statements to jurors at Cuban's insider-trading trial.

>>His weak character and lack of morals led him to cheat.<<

Except he didn’t.

Try getting your facts straight before slinging mud.

Mark Cuban financed the anti-military, anti-war movie "Redacted" back during the early days of the war on terror. This movie was a HUGE slap in the face to US Marines, accusing them of being rapists and murders.

SO.......SCREW MARK CUBAN!

Semper Fidelis!

I seem to recall that Mark Cuban was a 9/11 truther. But I can’t search at work. I won’t give this guy any conservative credentials.

[Ann Archy]

Mark Cuban is a PUNK....a MEAN PUNK!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I won’t give this guy any conservative credentials.

I'll afford Romney the same.

This is “non-criminal?” Gee, I’ll be Martha Stewart wishes she knew that....

The government says lots of things...

Reminds me of this: Bob Kuban - The Cheater

Funny you would mention resko, where the heck is he now?
He was squirreled away somewhere and nobody can say where!

Interestingly, it is not (probably because they don’t have a witness). This is a civil proceeding asking for a fine of a few hundred grand (basically what is probably in Cuban’s sofa cushions).

He is fighting it out of principle. We should all support him for that, even if we don’t care for him personally.

[Cyber Liberty]

He’s a truther.

Is his name really Cuban? Whats the origin?

[Mike Darancette]

Cuban is a big leftie, so he will get off.

>>Is his name really Cuban? Whats the origin? <<

I dunno — Cuban?

According to IMDB he is a Pittsburgher with everything that goes with that.

His parents were Russian Jews (Chabenisky).

My buddy was in Cuban’s MBA class at Indiana Univ and they played rugby together. He was an early investor in Cuban’s broadcast.com that sold to Yahoo for $6 bil. My buddy “retired” at age 52 and lives like a potentate.
