I don't think so, he'll probably get off like everyone else does. Since it's non-NBA related really, I doubt there's any issues with him still owning the franchise but never know..

He saved $750,000 off the selling of those shares.
If he's lucky, he'll only have to open up his wallet. I doubt his max penalty would be jail time.

just read he will probably just have to pay twice what he wouldve lost as a fine. And since its a civil case he wont be looking at any criminal charges/conviction.

I'm sure that's nothing for Mark Cuban, it was stupid... But that's a price you pay for taking a tip.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has disputed the allegations by the SEC of insider trading and said he will contest them.
"I am disappointed that the (SEC) chose to bring this case based upon its enforcement staff's win-at-any-cost ambitions. The staff's process was result-oriented, facts be damned. The government's claims are false and they will be proven to be so," Cuban said in his own statement.

As long as he didn't lie to the FBI like Martha Stewart, he'll just have to fork over a lot of cash.
He can afford it.

Except he is yelling that he did nothing wrong. So if he fights back it could end up much more then it is now. If he tells someone like the FBI that he did nothing wrong the same thing could happen to him.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did it given how reckless he is.
