Court in Cuban Case: SEC Failed to Allege Agreement Not to Trade on Info in Question

By on July 17, 2009, 12:19 pm

As previously discussed here, U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater dismissed the SEC’s insider trading case against Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban this morning. A copy of the Court’s Order is available here.

In his ruling, Judge Fitzwater found that the SEC failed to adequately allege that Cuban agreed with Mamma.com (a) not to disclose material, nonpublic information about the PIPE offering, and (b) not to trade on or otherwise use the information.

Full details of the court’s ruling are available in this post on my Enforcement Action blog over at Compliance Week.
