The Dodgers are cheating financially

[TURBO]

It will be ignored and brushed under the rug, no penalties, no consequences, nothing.

It's how the world does things, and how MLB does things.

Twist the facts until it becomes too complicated to figure out, then just ignore it and forget it...

Good times.

Big money will always protect big money. 

People with massive assets and huge tracts of land will always have the inside track on moving money, getting loans, earning interest, hiding money etc. The average person doesn't even know the regulatory rules that govern what you can and can't do with massive piles of money.

They just operate under a different set of rules than 99% of people, and won't actually feel financial distress if their net worth has 9 zeroes instead of 10.

And still, we cut funding for maternal health care, social security, USAID, SNAP.

Clearly I have gone off the deep end. Not only is it not fair to my baseball fandom, but why do I even pay taxes or insurance premiums.

I need a nap.

No it is nothing like the Clippers having handshake deals with players.

The Federal investigation is about loans made by Walter from his own Insurance Company A to his own Company B with friendly terms that wouldn’t exist in the marketplace. 

Where it may run afoul is that if Company B fails to pay the loans back or Company A sustains huge losses it could put the policy holders at risk, and Walter allegedly didn’t disclose the loans. The Insurance Company A is supposed to disclose those loans and didn’t, the investigation is about the action/inaction of Company A.

He sold the Lakers because the loans came to light and he needed to infuse the insurance companies with cash.  So far there is nothing connecting the Dodgers (and certainly not baseball operations) to the Walter financial empire’s Federal scrutiny. 
 

 

 

If what is alleged is true you're missing or ignoring the cap cheating and revenue sharing impact of it. Which is a baseball story, 100%, and similar to the Kawhi stuff

MLB will do all they can to bury this story.
