马克·沃尔特出售洛杉矶湖人队：对凯迪拉克F1车队可能意味着什么
亿万富翁马克·沃尔特在以100亿美元购入洛杉矶湖人队仅14个月后就宣布出售，这一交易可能对凯迪拉克F1车队产生影响。
亿万富翁马克·沃尔特出售洛杉矶湖人队NBA球队的消息——距离他以100亿美元购入该球队仅过去14个月——可能会对凯迪拉克F1车队产生影响。
沃尔特是投资公司古根海姆合伙公司的首席执行官，该公司通过BlueCo共同拥有英超球队切尔西，同时还拥有包括洛杉矶道奇棒球队在内的众多洛杉矶体育球队。
他还是TWG Global的首席执行官兼联席董事长，该公司通过TWG Motorsports持有凯迪拉克F1车队的多数股权，同时还拥有IndyCar和电动方程式车队安德雷蒂全球以及其他赛车运动实体。
与沃尔特相关的多家公司目前正在接受美国政府和美国证券交易委员会（SEC）的一项大范围调查，该调查的最新进展涉及他投资帝国中的四家公司以及它们之间涉嫌未披露的贷款。
洛杉矶湖人队的出售与凯迪拉克（凯迪拉克）有什么关系？
沃尔特（Walter）在同意收购这支著名篮球球队仅14个月后，就正在出售他在洛杉矶湖人队的多数股权。
据The Athletic报道，沃尔特在洛杉矶湖人队的控股权估值达125亿美元，而他当初购入的价格据称为100亿美元。
此举震惊了美国职业篮球联赛（NBA），因为洛杉矶湖人队近50年来一直至少部分为杰里·巴斯（Jerry Buss）及其家族所有。
现在沃尔特的股份正在被出售给风险投资家乔什·库什纳（Josh Kushner）和前迪士尼首席执行官鲍勃·艾格（Bob Iger）。
据报道，切尔西足球俱乐部的所有权现已登上头条，沃尔特和共同所有者托德·博利（Todd Boehly）正在与控股股东Clearlake Capital谈判，出售他们在俱乐部的股份。
出售切尔西的讨论早于上述调查进行，但也可能是被这些调查加速了。
据彭博社报道，在调查进行期间，沃尔特正在出售其股份，以筹集资金偿还其公司保险机构账面上的贷款。
人们的注意力不可避免地转向了凯迪拉克F1车队。目前尚无关于TWG Global可能出售其多数股权（且价值可观）的具体报道，不过《金融时报》对这一情况的报道暗示，沃尔特可能会进一步出售其资产，此外TWG还寻求对贷款进行再融资、重组公司并引入外部投资者。
正在被调查的四家中介公司之一是Bradford Allen，该公司正在开发凯迪拉克F1位于印第安纳州的总部，同时也开发Andretti Global的IndyCar设施。
这些调查尚未提出任何指控，并未暗示Bradford Allen存在任何不当行为，凯迪拉克F1车队也没有以任何方式受到牵连。
最近Graeme Lowdon被解除凯迪拉克F1车队领队职务，目前也仅属间接情况——没有任何迹象表明通用汽车对该车队的持股地位发生了变化。
鉴于洛杉矶湖人队的出售据报在72小时内促成，局势仍在不断变化且变化迅速。
英文原文
Billionaire Mark Walter's sale of the Los Angeles Lakers NBA franchise - announced just 14 months after purchasing it for $10billion - could have implications on the Cadillac Formula 1 team.
Walter is the CEO of Guggenheim Partners, an investment company that co-owns Premier League team Chelsea via BlueCo, as well as numerous LA-based sports teams including the LA Dodgers baseball team.
He is also the CEO and co-chairman of TWG Global, which owns a majority stake in the Cadillac F1 team through TWG Motorsports alongside IndyCar and Formula E team Andretti Global and other motorsport entities.
Companies tied to Walter are under investigation by the US government and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in a wide-ranging probe, the latest development in which concerns four companies within his investment empire and alleged undisclosed loans between them.
What does LA Lakers sale have to do with Cadillac?
Walter is offloading his majority stake in the LA Lakers just 14 months after he agreed to buy the prestigious basketball franchise.
The Athletic has reported that Walter's controlling stake in the LA Lakers was valued at $12.5bn, whereas he purchased it for a reported $10bn.
The move stunned the National Basketball Association as the LA Lakers was at least partially owned by Jerry Buss and his family for nearly 50 years.
Now Walter's stake is being sold to venture capitalist Josh Kushner and former Disney CEO Bob Iger.
The ownership of Chelsea FC has now hit headlines as Walter and co-owner Todd Boehly are reportedly in talks to sell their shares in the club to majority owner Clearlake Capital.
Discussions to sell Chelsea precede - but may have been accelerated by the aforementioned investigations.
Bloomberg has reported that Walter is selling off his stakes to raise money to pay loans on the books of his company's insurers amid the ongoing investigations.
Attention has inevitably turned towards the Cadillac F1 team. There are no concrete reports of a potential sale of TWG Global's majority - and valuable - stake as yet, though the Financial Times' coverage of the situation suggested further sales of Walter's assets could be on the cards plus TWG seeking to refinance loans, restructure companies and bring in outside investors.
One of the four intermediary companies being investigated is Bradford Allen, which is developing Cadillac F1's Indiana headquarters alongside Andretti Global's IndyCar facilities.
The investigations - which have not brought a charge - do not implicate Bradford Allen in any wrongdoing, nor has Cadillac F1 team been implicated in any way.
The recent sacking of Graeme Lowdon as Cadillac F1 team principal is also circumstantial at this point - and there is no implication that General Motors's ownership position on the F1 team has changed.
Given the sale of the LA Lakers was facilitated in a reported 72 hours, the situation is fluid and rapidly changing.
