FWIG, Cuban's attitude sounds like "what is good for the business isn't always good for the investor". In a less twitter-friendly format, filing offshore creates a tax-shortfall that will be borne by your stakeholders. While this cost might not be felt by Mr. Cuban, in this case he would be acting logically (in a sense).

First time I've heard that one. Here I thought the purpose of a business was to create value for its stakeholders. Mind you, value can be products for your consumers, jobs for your employees, or capital for your owners. Usually this means money, but not always.
