Mark Cuban, the billionaire owner of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, revealed that he was the victim of an anti-Semitic attack when he was a child. Meanwhile, Cuban lost $870,000 in a cryptocurrency scam.

Cuban told DL News that the money was stolen in a hack of his account with MetaMask.

“I’m pretty sure I downloaded a version of MetaMask with some shit in it,” Mark Cuban told DL News. “MetaMask crashed a couple times. I just stopped. Then you emailed me. So I locked my NFTs on OpenSea. Transferred all my Polygon in the account.”

Ironically, Mark Cuban has gone back and forth in recent years as to his position on whether or not cryptos are valuable, or a scam.

As for the anti-Semitic attack, Hillel International released a video on Instagram of Mark Cuban talking about it.

“When I was 12 years old I was in a park and all of a sudden this kid comes up and starts fighting me,” Cuban recounts in the video.

Mark Cuban repeated the curses that were leveled at him, but they are censored in the video, but you can tell what they are from the context.

Cuban said he then asked his father what a “kike” is and his father explained it to him. Mark Cuban recounted that he did not understand why the other kid wanted to fight him.

“The corps understanding and what I wanted to share,” he added, “is that there’s always gonna be people who hate us (Jews). “Period. End of story. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. But our lives and who were are is not defined by who hates us. It’s defined by who loves us and who we love.

“From that comes all of our strength, all of our power,” said Mark Cuban. “That love and that connection is stronger than anything anybody else can do.”

According to his official bio, in 1995, Mark Cuban and long-time friend Todd Wagner came up with an internet based solution to not being able to listen to Hoosiers Basketball games out in Texas. That solution was Broadcast.com – streaming audio over the internet. In just four short years, Broadcast.com (then Audionet) would be sold to Yahoo for $5.6 billion dollars. His trade to collar his shares of Yahoo! stock received in the sale of Broadcast.com in advance of the popping of the Internet bubble has been called one of the top 10 trades of all time.
