Read a historical account of Mark Cuban's SEC litigation and the article's broader discussion of disputes with federal agencies.
Book a Consultation CallMark Cuban won a years-long fight with the federal government agency, SEC, Wednesday when jurors said that the billionaire basketball team owner did not commit insider-trading when he sold his shares in an Internet company in 2004.
Cuban hugged his lawyers after the verdict, then called family members. During an impromptu news conference outside the courthouse, he angrily denounced the Federal Government – most notably, the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) and its lead trial attorney, Jan Folena, saying that they lied about the evidence and targeted him because of his fame. He said that defendants of lesser wealth could have been bullied.
The “no bully” policy cannot be overstated when it comes to the Federal Government. They are intimidating, especially with their 3-letter acronym based agencies. Popular polls and studies indicate that these 3-letter government agencies notably strike “fear” and “stress” in people’s minds – picture this – what would you think if you got a certified letter from the IRS, or a phone call from the FBI, the DOJ, the SEC? So, for all of you federal non-tax debtors out there – what would your initial emotional reaction be if and when you receive an acceleration or demand letter from the SBA, or worse, a referral letter, a Treasury Offset Program (TOP) notice or Administrative Wage Garnishment (AWG) from the DOT (Department of Treasury) relating to an SBA debt? My guess . . .your heart rate would go up . . .

Our firm successfully facilitated the SBA settlement of a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) where borrower received an SBA disaster loan of $150,000, but due to the severe economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was unable to recover.
Despite the borrower’s efforts to maintain operations, shutdowns and restrictions significantly reduced the customer base and revenue, making continued operations unsustainable. After a thorough business closure review, we negotiated with the SBA, securing a resolution where the borrower paid only $6,015 to release the collateral, with no further financial liability for the owner/officer.
This case demonstrates how businesses affected by the pandemic can navigate SBA loan settlements effectively. If your business is struggling with an SBA EIDL loan, we specialize in SBA Offer in Compromise (SBA OIC) solutions to help close outstanding debts while minimizing financial burden.
Clients personally guaranteed an SBA 7(a) loan that was referred to the Department of Treasury for collection. Treasury claimed our clients owed over $220,000 once it added its statutory collection fees and interest. We were able to negotiate a significant reduction of the total claimed amount from $220,000 to $119,000, saving the clients over $100,000 by arguing for a waiver of the statutory 28%-30% administrative fees and costs.
Client personally guaranteed SBA 7(a) loan for $350,000. The small business failed but because of the personal guarantee liability, the client continued to pay the monthly principal & interest out-of-pocket draining his savings. The client hired a local attorney but quickly realized that he was not familiar with SBA-backed loans or their standard operating procedures. Our firm was subsequently hired after the client received the SBA's official 60-day notice. After back-and-forth negotiations, we were able to convince the SBA to reinstate the loan, retract the acceleration of the outstanding balance, modify the original terms, and approve a structured workout reducing the interest rate from 7.75% to 0% and extending the maturity date for a longer period to make the monthly payments affordable. In conclusion, not only we were able to help the client avoid litigation and bankruptcy, but our SBA lawyers also saved him approximately $227,945 over the term of the workout.
