Nearly five years after the SEC filed its complaint against Mark Cuban for insider trading (November 2008), and nearly 10 years(!) after Cuban made the trades in question (June 2004), opening arguments in the SEC’s case against Cuban are finally set to kick off today in federal court in Dallas. As this coincides with today’s indefinite shutdown of the federal government, I immediately was curious whether the Cuban case would proceed as planned. The answer: Yes–full speed ahead.
