    Ever since the dead rat outside my window I've had less of an impulse to comment on Brunswick and Edelman - related posts.

    According to Spiegelman, once Denton is indicted for tax evasion somebody will need to step up, so I'd say your prospects at Gawker look pretty good.

    There's something more to this, I think. Mamma.com had a checkered past, to say the least. Did the investment firm behind the PIPE deal rat out Cuban to the SEC because they're mad that Cuban dumped the stock?

    @destor23:


    The SEC watches the market every time a deal/earnings announcement/big news comes from a company and looks for suspicious trading by anyone. If you dump a couple hundred thousand shares of a stock the day before it tanks, their little computer program will see it and rat you out to the feds. Nobody needs to do it for them.

    So I've read that about 10 times and I'm gathering that he's pissed the SEC aims to win these kind of cases?

    He has always wished he could say more, and he has always said whatever the fuck he wants. Being forced to shut up about this is probably causing him to break out into some nasty hives.

    I really, really hope this goes to trial. The entertainment value of hearing the lawyers say Mamma.com Inc. out loud will be totally worth the taxpayer dollars.

    The only thing that would make this a more idiotic attmept would be if Cuban accidently dialed up the SEC division of Enforcement instead of his broker and said - Hi, I'd like to make an illegal, insider trade.

    He wears a white cowboy hat in the bedroom!


    "In July 2006, Cuban financed Sharesleuth.com, a web site created by former St. Louis Post-Dispatch investigative reporter Christopher Carey to uncover fraud and misinformation in publicly traded companies. Experimenting with a new business model for making online journalism financially viable, Cuban disclosed he would take positions in the shares of companies mentioned in Sharesleuth.com in advance of publication. Business and legal analysts questioned the appropriateness of shorting a stock prior to making public pronouncements which are likely to result in losses in that stock's value. Cuban insisted that the practice is legal in view of full disclosure.


    In October 2008, Cuban started Bailoutsleuth.com as a grassroots, online portal for oversight over the US government 700 billion dollar "bailout" of financial institutions"
