Mark Cuban you get what you give and well….
Mark Cuban has been pretty full of himself since he pulled off that Broadcast.com deal with Yahoo. Yeah, we hear all about that great deal what you don’t hear is there may have been some casualties left in the wake. He has never really been a man who cared about what he does or who he hurts to benefit “himself”.
Thinking he was bulletproof he has been fined $1,455,000.00 from the NBA for numerous things. Yes, due to lack of self control he has been slapped by the NBA many times. In the beginning every time you heard the name Mavericks he was right there to the point of making a total fool of himself, in fact not only the NBA had enough, his players were getting a little fed up with him too and well, we hear very little from him these days which I have to say is fantastic!
He went from computer geek who desperately wanted to be actor but just didn’t have it. Then overnight with a few people stomped on to do it, so I’ve heard, he became a billionaire. It was so apparent this was “new” money, not old. A person born and raised in wealth has a certain class about them, they may not be nice, but they are sure not tacky. He made a commercial for a Dallas Radio Station who was giving away a million dollars or so. It was rediculios, I believe he popped out of his new jet saying “you can be a millionaire like me”. Then posed for a mail out for a Tanning company that said “Be Tan like Mark Cuban” oh and we can’t forget his flopped TV reality show where he was giving away a million dollars to a total stranger. The TV show must have been that part of him that so wanted to be an actor and well…It was a major “dud” like his acting career. I could go on and on about this man, he’s no angel and if I had a choice to be wealthy and be him or homeless on the street I’d chose the street.
Now he is being accused of “insider” trading. His lawyer, who seems to think he wrote the laws, was on TV saying he was gonna make the Securities Exchange Commission look like idiots in court and Cuban would emerge smelling like a rose. The arrogance of the attorney was so much like Cuban, I had to take a second look to make sure he was not Cuban himself. The lawyer stated that, to a man like the “Almighty” Mark Cuban $750,000 was nothing, then you have to ask yourself why Cuban did the trade to keep himself from losing it. If I smell anything it’s a “rat”! The Judge should be asking that question as well. Plus, “he was not an insider”, where has that lawyer been, the term”insider” has been changed drastically over the years.
So why does Cuban think the laws are for everybody else and not him? If the SEC has been investigating this for over two years they had to have something. The gall of Mr. Cuban accusing them of throwing their power around. Cuban has been trying to do that, at times succeeding, ever since he made his fortune. The SEC is doing there job and I feel he is getting off light. I wish they’d humble him with a few years behind bars. He deserves far more then that in my opinion.
