    @DodgersTailgate
    US prosecutors are investigating Dodgers owner Mark Walter’s empire for possible financial improprieties at Guggenheim Partners LLC and two insurers, Delaware Life and Clear Spring Life, according to @business.

    Federal authorities in Manhattan began probing last year, with the insurers subpoenaed in February over undisclosed private credit ties.

    Let's hurry up and ruin baseball one more time before this becomes an issue.

    @JoePompliano
    There is clearly some smoke to the Mark Walter investigation. After previously claiming that just $1.4 billion of the assets at his life insurance company were loaned out to businesses he controlled, Walter has since revised that number to $21 billion. That's why he sold the Lakers and might have to sell other assets too.

    @ArashMarkazi
    This is why the Dodgers and Sparks could be sold as well. They are not officially on the market but neither was the Lakers.

    smoke, fire?
    well at least we’ll always have 2024 and 2025

    As much as I'd hate the Dodgers having Clippers cross promotions, if Walter has to sell the Dodgers, Steve Balmer might be the best option to purchase the team
    He's clearly spared no expense with the Clippers – built world class arena and paid, at least, Kawhi underneath the table to skirt salary cap
    In baseball, he wouldn't have to skirt the salary cap, he could just pay whatever he wanted

    Stan Kreonke doesn't own a baseball team either.

    Having a shitload of money doesn't mean you know how to spend it.

    If Walter has to sell, does that mean just his 27% or the whole group/Guggenheim?

    Yeah ... I mentioned this on another thread.

    27% of $12-15 Bil = $3.25-4.05 Bil.

    Somebody that Gugg would agree to with coin like that could absolutely buy hia shares.

    It'll never happen, but I'd love Elon Musk to buyout McCourt for the lot & Gugg for the team, overpay ridiculously... and proceed to bore tunnels into the Ravine that would transform the in & out misery of driving to that otherwise beautiful stadium.

    Yeah... it'll never happen but it'd be ultra bitchen...

    He'll be excellent. Anyone who at 12, had the sense to sell every Jew in Budapest out to the Nazis ... imagine how he'll negotiate contracts! And those special Dodgers unis made of human skin will sell like kreplachs!

    No. Cyborgs can't do anything beyond their program.

    Soros is an evil motherfucker who CHOSE evil, & hell waits for him. He chose the devil - he'll get all of the darkness when his time comes.

    Bloomberg reports that Mark Walter is willing to pledge his stake in Guggenheim as collateral (and offering double-digit yields) to secure the capital needed to cover the loans he is being investigated for. The Lakers sale helps, but Walter likely needs another ~$5 billion.

    Dodgers about to get sold, aren't they

    Dodgers owner Mark Walter and Todd Boehly are in talks to sell their shares in Chelsea to the majority owner, Clearlake Capital, the Financial Times reports. Walter and Boehly each own 12.8% of the club, which they bought in May of 2022.
