(User Submitted) – Mark Cuban has so much money he wants to help the poor SEC pay for an investigation of, well, Mark Cuban.

As a sports owner, I feel like Cuban is one of the best in the business in terms of generating interest and supplying his team with the tools necessary to win. Im not sure about these insider trading accusations, but god would I like him to buy my beloved Dodgers from those asshole McCourts.
