Mark Walter Says He Will Keep Dodgers Despite Federal Investigation Into Businesses
Mark Walter told the California Post he plans to keep the Los Angeles Dodgers despite selling his Lakers and Chelsea Football Club stakes.
According to Fox News report, Mark Walter told the California Post that he plans to keep the Los Angeles Dodgers despite a federal investigation into businesses. The Fox News headline reports that Walter said he will keep the team "no matter what."
The Fox News summary adds that Walter is selling off his stakes in the Lakers and Chelsea Football Club, and it describes his plan to keep the Dodgers as coming despite those sales. The summary does not state whether the sales were connected to the federal investigation.
The reports available for this account do not describe the federal investigation beyond the headline's reference to businesses. They do not identify the agency conducting it, the businesses under review, or the stage it has reached, and they do not say whether the Dodgers are part of it.
The account of Walter's remarks rests on the Fox News headline and summary, which attribute the statements to the California Post. The summary does not provide the full text of his comments, and no other outlet's report of them is included in this account. Because the California Post report itself was not available for this story, the exact wording of Walter's remarks cannot be confirmed beyond the phrase in the headline.
On the present record, Walter's stated intention to keep the Dodgers is the only action the reports describe, and how the investigation bears on that intention is not addressed in them. The sales of the Lakers and Chelsea Football Club stakes are described only in the summary, and the timing of those sales is not stated.
