Gayle should sell Pels to a Vegas group



Why the hell would she do that

Every owner in the league will get a big fat check to the tune of 100s of millions with two franchise fees for teams in Vegas and Seattle

You sell after that

Comments in that thread say Walter is in legal trouble.


Dodgers are heavily leveraged against the extra TV Revenue money they get as the settlement with the League after their bankruptcy. No baseball next year means no TV money and that means there will be a budget shortfall. Add to that allegations that Walter was injecting his own money and his insurance agency money into the Dodgers operating capitol and it is a recipe for disaster.

quote:

The federal law enforcement probe into the financial affairs of the Dodgers’ controlling owner, Mark Walter, seems to focus on what looks like an obscure financial maneuver: related-party transactions.

They are deals between entities with business or personal ties, including loans, sales and other transactions, that can have legitimate reasons but pose potential conflicts of interest and typically require extra scrutiny.

Walter tapped insurers he controlled to provide most of the financing for the $2.15-billion acquisition of the Dodgers in 2012, The Times has reported — a deal later vetted by state insurance regulators.

Now, regulators reportedly are investigating whether billions of dollars’ worth of similar loans made by Walter’s companies were properly disclosed.

There are examples in which related-party transactions led to trouble, including the 2001 bankruptcy of Enron Corp., the largest at the time in Wall Street history. Bernie Madoff profited from his Ponzi scheme through related-party loans.

At issue with Walter is $21 billion in loans not disclosed to state insurance regulators that were made by two Delaware insurers he owns, according to ratings agency Fitch. The loans reportedly were made to companies with ties to Walter or his TWG Global holdings company.

Couldn't get the Armenian island, so the Kushners bought the Lakers instead.

All that insider trading/pump & dump on the oil markets has really paid off.

Iranians believe Jared & Witkoff have made $6B off futures trading from 'negotiations.' I'm sure Josh has been totally in the dark on all that knowledge and didn't make a dime.

Just another reason to cheer for a lockout.

Clippers may be immune to the league given Ballmer’s ability to fight any punishment for the Kawhi cap circumvention.

Wasn’t this same group of new owners involved in bringing a team to Vegas? If so what happens with that?

Yes, they were.

I would think it means that the league has to find another potential expansion owner, if they didn’t already have more than two, or it will put expansion off by a bit.

Thanks. Not easy to find good owners. Seattle wants their team and now all that may be put on hold. If delayed those Seattle fans might blow a gasket lol. That's the bigger story here. New owners bought an existing historically gifted franchise vs a new one with no history.

Yet another exhibit proving that the economy is working just as it was designed to. Good for our billionaire overlords.
