Mark Cuban Invests In New Investigative Journalism Site

From the online news site Paidcontent.org:

Mark Cuban Invests In New Investigative Journalism Site

You're reading it here first ... Mark Cuban is the sole investor in Sharesleuth.com, a new
journalism venture founded by business reporter Christopher Carey that will start to go
live next month. Cuban's involvement was included in the internal announcement that Carey
is leaving the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to work on Sharesleuth, which will focus on stock
fraud and executive malfeasance on the national and international level. Cuban told me
via e-mail that he is the sole investor but wouldn't say how much he's put in. He did
call it a multimedia deal, adding, "the site, HDnet and HDnet films will be involved and
that's just the beginning."
Carey will run the site at first with stringers and input from a broad network of
non-journalists who have an interest in the subject. He told me the investment grew out
of an e-mail correspondence that started when he read Cuban's blog and sent him some
information. Carey, who was a finalist for the Gerald Loeb Awards for a series on global
stock fraud, spent this past year as a Knight-Wallace fellow at the University of
Michigan looking at "criminal subculture in the U.S. Securities Industry" and will return
to Ann Arbor to run the site.
