Insider Trading - SEC v. Mark Cuban - A Litigation Saga
The Securities and Exchange Commission\u27s (SEC) enforcement action against Mark Cuban for allegedly engaging in illegal insider trading was far from standard fare. Unlike the vast majority of SEC enforcement actions that are settled pursuant to the consent negotiation process, whereby the defendant neither admits nor denies the Commission\u27s allegations of misconduct, Mr. Cuban declined overtures of settlement and proceeded to trial.
