I just wanted to add a couple words about Cuban, Stewart and the situation I wrote about. First, of course, Cuban is innoncent until proven guilty and so everything should be viewed through that prism.
That said, here is how I see all of these things linked. The story I wrote is ultimately about the ways in which powerful folks can game the system in ways that non powerful folks could never. That is the crux of the situation with Cuban. He was acting, if guilty, on information that the rest of the public doesn’t have access to.

We have a crisis of confidence in our markets. In part that’s because the masses believe the system is rigged to the powerful. This act shows that the feds are serious about holding the powerful accountable. I agree that they need to hold $25 million dollar malfeasance accountable as well, but all malfeasance must be vigorously prosecuted.
