    Wick, you would be wise to shut up

    Cuban shut up?

    Impossible.

    I suspect that everything Cuban has said publicly was previously disclosed to the SEC in an attempt to keep them from proceeding with litigation in the first place. Also, the SEC’s case is criminal, not civil — Cuban can pay the penalty plus fine out of money he can find stuck in his couch cushions. On the other hand, he is a public figure, the owner of one professional sports franchise, and a finalist to purchase another — he has a lot of incentive to come out and attack the credibility of the SEC’s case. Unlike Roger Clemens and his ilk, I bet Cuban and his defense team can back up what they are saying.

    he reminds me of Deniro in the movie Casino when Ace Rothstein hosted a tv show to “defend himself.” just fade to black and let the lawyers handle it.

    Here it is B…… Re: Jim Mattox…While there is plenty to say about his colorful career, most of it would fall under the rule of nil nisum bonum……

    Someone’s father/brother/husband has just passed away. A man who many feel did a lot for Texas. The best Wick can come up with is
    not to speak bad about the dead. It is a slap in the face. It is low class/no class

    I dunno – I think I just read it as a preemptive measure. Sometimes this crowd can get a little rough – search Fred Baron on here if you want an example.

    WTF is with Mark Cuban’s brother getting involved. Kind of gettin Bizzaro World-ish.

    Apparently his brother has a blog. His brother has uploaded a PDF of private emails between Cuban and the SEC:

    There is some serious smack going on in some of those emails. Thinly veiled threats between the Trial Counsel for the SEC and Cuban himself. SAUCY!

    JS,
    I must be missing something. The last time I checked, SEC’s action was civil, NOT criminal. Else Cuban would be facing prison time.
