Mark Walter has reached a deal to sell his stake in the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion, just 10 months after purchasing them. Despite speculation, sources indicate that the ownership of the Los Angeles Dodgers will not change, and Walter will continue as chairman. The sale is the largest in sports history, boosting Walter's finances, but he and his group are under federal investigation for alleged loan fraud.
