“The case stems from Cuban’s June 2004 sale of 600,000 shares of Mamma.com, soon after he had supposedly learned of an equity offering that could depress the Montreal-based Internet search company’s stock price. The SEC said the sale let Cuban avoid a roughly $750,000 loss on his 6.3 percent stake. While the SEC has become more aggressive in pursuing higher-profile defendants, a description that fits the charismatic Cuban, Monday’s trial comes in a case that predates that push. Cuban, who might have tried to settle with the SEC for a fairly small sum, has been battling the regulator for nearly five years.”
