Mark Cuban charged with Insider Trading!

No, this is not a joke of the "Keith Van Horn for Jason Kidd" variety. Mark Cuban was actually charged with insider trading by the SEC. The last celebrity I can recall getting an insider trading charge was Martha Stewart, and that didn't work out so well for her. Imagine how AWESOME it would be if Cubes went to jail. If Dirk Nowitzki were here, he might describe my reaction to this development as "schadenfreude" (a German word meaning "satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune"). Man, I really loathe this guy.

If you were a billionaire facing jail time, would you try to skip the country? I sure would.

Here's the link, so you guys don't think I'm making this up:

Wow. And the hits just keep coming. I wonder how this is going to go down.

Saw that this morning too. More info to come, I’m sure. What he was charged with was relatively minor, but it still will carry some consequences.

Looks like Cube is facing some time in the slam. I hope he is prepared for the chain. He should be immediately stripped of his NBA team and banned for life. Give him the Pete Rose treatment.

Shit, if Martha Stewart went to jail for that then this cock shine should too.

Yeah but Martha didn’t exactly go to “jail” so much as ankle-braced confinement at her ranch. And hers was more serious than cubes’ is. But if it’s legit, he’ll do time. Partially guaranteed when you’re one of the nations biggest ass-clowns and you break the law. I would literally pay ANYTHING to be on that jury.
