Over the last two days the media and blogosphere has formed opinions, speculated, crucified, harrangued and harrassed Mark Cuban on the basis of one sided Securities And Exchange Commission(SEC) spin. During that time, Jeffrey Norris, the SEC attorney, who had the contentious “Loose Change” email exchange with Mark while his employer investigated allegations of insider trading has been able to hide under his desk. He has been able to slink home every night relatively free from any type of media exposure. That is all over. The emails between SEC attorney Jeffrey Norris and Mark Cuban have been made public. It is time to enter the email “no spin zone”. It is time for Jeff’s integrity, ethics and propriety of actions to be put under the same microsope. Here is the pdf link to the full text of the email exchanges between Jeffery Norris and Mark Cuban. The emails speak for themselves. Come to your own conclusions about the integrity of Mr. Norris and his office in general.

This is the only time I will address the ignorant and hateful mail I have received. The allegations against my brother are just that, allegations. The only version of events the public gets to see is the SEC version in their complaint. They are going to spin facts in the light most favorable to their case. As an attorney I am aware that this is the nature and reality of litigation. Mark will get his say in court. I have no doubt that the true chain of events will play out in his favor. It is also important to keep in mind that this is a civil proceeding. The blogosphere seems to be poorly educated on this point. The only remedy the SEC is for the most part seeking is monetary. (They are also asking for equitable relief)
There are only two people in this world that have known Mark longer than I have. Everyone else has an opinion and gets their blog stats up by voicing it and speculating. I don’t have a problem with this. It is what makes the blogosphere one of the most fascinating ever expanding frontiers on earth. I however, have 47 years of facts. Mark is an ethical person of the highest level of integrity in every aspect of his life. I urge people to not pass judgment on SEC self -serving P.R. Let the facts play out where they should, in a court of law.
