“That’s a very distinct advantage........”
I have a problem with the state deciding what advantages are and aren’t fair, outside of the generally accepted standards of coercion and fraud. It’s hard for me to say definitively that people who get information first “steal” anything from others. And I’m almost positive no one will be able to pinpoint specifically whose rights Mark Cuban violated, unless they say, “Everyone who still owned shares,” and left it at that.
I guess it all comes down to my sense that insider trading has more to do with the age-old irrational war against speculation. Everybody hates greedy, greasy Wall Street types, right? Well, this is the law to hit them with, if no other.
Cuban..IF HE IS GUILTY....violated the law...as it now stands.
fwiw-
