Great video. One clarifying note: <br><br>Mark Walter is NOT the "majority owner" of the Dodgers. <br><br>By definition, a majority owner must own more than 50% of the financial equity. <br><br>Mark Walter owns 27% of the Dodgers. <br><br>He does not own the remaining 73%. <br><br>While he is the "Control Person" (MLB term), meaning he breaks ties, it is not accurate to report that he is the majority owner. Nor can he unilaterally "sell the team."<br><br>By contrast, he is/was the majority owner of the Lakers (at approx 65% ownership stake).

This smells like Enron. Related entities lending to related entities like running a shell game. Insurance companies have strict insurance regulations.

People who pay insurance premiums should not be worried about the Dodgers spending on salaries. There is zero benefit to policy holders only the prospect of higher policy rates to acquire more talent for the Dodgers. Perhaps if you’re a Dodgers fan you don’t mind that but if you’re a policy holder that doesn’t even like baseball, you might be pissed off

I always thought it was legal for insurance companies to do shady business practices.

Ohtani has an out if Walter’s name is not part of the partnership agreement and should have the dodgers nervous. It’s not just them but the Chelsea FC ,Cadillac F1 team and the entire PWHL league are also affected by this situation and it feels like a kushner family shakedown for a start ….federal government pressure forces them to sell the lakers in 72 hrs is not normal at all in sports and especially with the amount of money involved

Lived in Orange Cty for almost 20 years. I am a Yankee fan. The Dodgers have had some great coaches, Alston, Lasorda. Great players and great ownership from days gone by. The lady in this video, Melody, was given some tough questions to answer but gracious enough to tell the truth, she soesn't know. What comes to mind is the fact that one guy, Walter, has his neck in many major sports ownerships. The defferals for the likes of Ohtani are going to be the center of attention once the Feds take this over and the Feds will. There are a lot of hands in the ownership of the Dodgers so lets hope Walter is the main one being in question.
