We Investigated Magic Johnson, Mark Walter... and Your Nest Egg
About this episode
The episode investigates the financial dealings surrounding Mark Walter's purchase of the Dodgers and the implications for sports franchises amidst a potential bubble burst.
A mysterious billionaire sold the Lakers, as the feds closed in. But how Mark Walter bought the Dodgers — while enriching himself with the money of everyday Americans, and his own entities — reveals why franchises got so valuable, even if the sports bubble is about to pop.
