The Wall Street Journal‘s Law Blog has an interesting though possibly unrelated development in the SEC’s case against Mark Cuban. A Fort Worth trial counselor for the SEC named Jeffrey Norris took exception to Cuban’s financing of the the film Loose Change, so he sent Cuban a harshly worded email. Cuban being Cuban replied. The exchange continued and got increasingly testy with doses of sarcasm. SEC Chairman Christopher Cox got in on it–or rather, got cc’ed on it. The SEC says Norris had nothing to do with the investigation into Cuban’s Mamma.com deal and Cox recused himself from the vote to indict, but Cuban’s lawyers might bring the emails up at trial. Developing.
Update: As a kind commentor points out, the DMN had this story a couple of days ago.
