"and announced a $2.05 billion equity investment from Oaktree Capital Management and SFS Group Capital LLC (an investment vehicle owned by the Ishbia family)"...that $2.05 billion trail will be important to follow as well Kirkland Advises Oaktree Capital Management on $2.05 Bill... "Has Mat Ishbia lost wealth in the value of UWM since he bought the Phoenix Suns? Absolutely. But while UWM has suspended its quarterly dividends, all shareholders, including the Ishbia family, enjoyed five years of those dividends at $0.10 per share. ***According to Bloomberg, between dividends and distributions, the Ishbia family has received around $6.2 billion over those five years.*** And Ishbia seemed his usual self when addressing the Two Harbors failed acquisition during the UWM earnings call, stating, “It definitely was unfortunate how it happened, and you’ll see some litigation, things that they did inappropriately. We’ll go through that process when that time comes.” The failed Two Harbors acquisition simply falls in line with Ishbia’s aggressive approach across the board and, ideally, proves to be akin to UWM’s version of the Kevin Durant trade - something that made sense but, ultimately, did not work. Bright Side Of The SunCould the struggles of United Wholesale Mortgage impact t...UWM’s difficult quarter has sparked concern, but the Suns’ financial outlook isn’t as simple as the headlines suggest.

“The lawsuit filed by UWMC is frivolous and raises serious questions about UWMC's public disclosures. TWO's previously released concerns regarding UWMC's intent and/or ability to close any transaction with TWO has now been thoroughly vindicated. UWMC's stock price has collapsed - it is down almost 70% year-to-date, after UWMC finally disclosed its $600 million derivatives loss, which had been rumored to have occurred since May 19, 2026. The loss highlights the dire condition of UWMC's balance sheet, liquidity and also casts doubt on its risk management and other governance practices. UWMC now says that this loss was related to a "hedge" of TWO’s MSR portfolio -- a portfolio that was already expertly hedged by TWO, not owned by UWMC, and under a binding contract to be sold to CCM. UWMC wishes the market to believe that its $600 million loss is related to a risk position that was approximately 13x the total interest rate exposure of TWO's MSR portfolio assuming it was unhedged, which UWMC knew full well it wasn't. UWMC's assertions that its now-terminated merger agreement with TWO was breached and that it has suffered damages is demonstrably false, and is consistent with its familiar refrain to blame others for its own shortcomings. As UWMC well knows, its stock-for-stock merger failed to secure shareholder support for several reasons, none of them having anything to do with TWO and starting with Mat Ishbia’s disastrous fourth quarter earnings call on February 25, 2026. At the time of the scheduled March 2026 shareholder vote on the UWMC all stock transaction, UWMC stock had declined so much that the value to TWO shareholders was approximately 20% below its book value. Indeed, it would be $3.29 or 70% below book value, if valued as of last night’s close. That, combined with skepticism about UWMC’s governance practices, caused ISS to recommend against the TWO-UWMC transaction. Those concerns seem well-founded today.” TWOTWO Responds to Baseless Claims by UWMC

Who doesn't know UK's DIDO and that super famous video??? Geez... Wasn't it in the Love Actually or Notting Hill soundtrack too?

Dodgers have blown yet another late lead Had been leading KC 3-1 into 8th Now trailing 4-3 Mostly Evan Phillips then Dreyer the weak links Betts ties up 4-4 in bot 8 Henriquez in Padres Phillies DBacks +7 all 64-57

https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=boneme000cal Only SS 3B DH Would have to play him at third, Vargas at first, Mune to DH. Still leaves all that outfield and catching weakness...plus Acuna.

We might find out soon enough. But huge roll of the dice.

Also, shouldn't that motivate JR even more to sell the team quickly and enjoy his money now? YOLO/FOMO vs. tax liability fears

Isn't that sexual harassment, at best, lol? hopefully NDA's are signed

Matt is in much much bigger trouble than Justin By 2026, the company’s (UWM) balance sheet had already weakened from Ishbia stripping $3 billion of cash via dividends and distributions from the company. Then Ishbia made a large directional bet on interest rates. It was a bad bet. So last week, UWM suspended its dividend and signed an emergency rescue deal with the distressed situations desk at Oaktree. Ishbia claims the bet was to hedge the potential acquisition of Two Harbors. SEC documents point to a different, more plausible explanation: a massive wager — by a CEO who had insisted he didn’t trade on rates — that helped break the company’s balance sheet. https://hntrbrk.com/breaking-news/uwm3&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwi1mce-mZqWAxUdGDQIHWeyLGcQFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw2NPgXwZobVkYSlGAR96NuT Tray was SORTA right but it's not as much about PE as big bad mortgage leaders/financing in general operating outside their guardrails...

He also already owns probably 30-35% of the team, if not more, from minority share holder sales last year...they will figure a way to get it over the finish line. The bigger problem is the new stadium. That's another $1.0-1.5 billion that's all privately financed at this point.

5 or 6 games under .500 is par for the course if they were in the AL instead
