**Viral Snippet:**

Viral Snippet: “BREAKING: Mark Cuban DROPS BOMBSHELL — Tells Fox News in exclusive interview that ‘the entire economy is a house of cards’ and predicts mass layoffs by March. Also reveals he’s quietly sold 90% of his stake in the Dallas Mavericks to a crypto consortium. #CubanCrash #SharkTankExposed”

Fact-Check Verdict: FAKE. This clip is entirely fabricated. Mark Cuban did not give any such interview to Fox News, nor has he sold any majority stake in the Mavericks (he sold a majority interest to Miriam Adelson and the Sands Corporation in late 2023, not a “crypto consortium”). The quote about a “house of cards” is lifted and repurposed from a 2008 speech by Warren Buffett about the housing market. The “mass layoffs by March” prediction matches no recent public statement by Cuban. BEWARE: This is a deepfake news stunt with spliced audio and a fake graphic.
