Kevin Costner doesn't owe Stephen Baldwin squat after Baldwin sued him for allegedly duping him into prematurely selling shares of a company that scored a $52 million contract after the BP oil spill.
Moments ago, the jury rejected claims that Costner deceived Baldwin into selling shares of his stock in a company that made a financial killing by selling oil cleanup equipment in the wake of the BP spill.
It didn't take long for the jury to decide -- a verdict was reached in less than 2 hours of deliberation.
Baldwin and another plaintiff had collectively sought $17 million in damages.
Baldwin had previously argued that he sold his shares for a measly $500k ... but he would have made MILLIONS if he would have held on until after the BP deal.

Schmuck, that's what you get for blaming someone else for your poor decisions. Maybe next time you'll be more responsible with your money.

So glad this ******* made money off of destroying our beautiful beaches down here in Alabama. Took crews months to clean that **** up. Fisherman couldn't feed their families. Sea life suffered. I couldn't even take my kids to the beach because the damage was so bad. It was downright heartbreaking. But hey it's all about the money right?

how do you deceive someone into selling shares of stock? All you can do is give someone your opinion, and they will do with it what they like. Unless Costner put a gun to his head and said sell, nothing much to do about it.

Stephen's god is the money. What a phony Christian.

If people sued for every time that they got nervous and dumped or sold stocks before a company went big, nobody would sell any shares of any company to anybody. That is what buying and selling stocks is all about. You take a risk and sometimes you lose. Stephen just wimped out and took a loss. He shoudn't have won the lawsuit. If you can't play with the big boys, than you don't play, easy as that.
