  • A federal jury has reportedly found billionaire Mark Cuban not guilty of insider trading.

    The trial began last month, stemming from accusations that he engaged in insider trading when selling shares of Mamma.com back in 2004. The SEC had filed a complaint alleging that he had been acting on confidential info from then CEO Guy Faure.
