Insurance is the greatest hustle of all time and it's essentially recession proof. If he paid under 500 milly for the controlling stake it's a relative steal. Magic is playing chess not checkers.
more black people need to buy life insurance. It's a tax free asset to give to your kids. It gives them a head start

No details released, yet the coli business tyc00ns still kicking "knowledge":mjlol:

First Magic has surrounded himself with friends who have no experience in the industry let alone million/billion dollar deals.

Secondly Guggenheim raped him on the earn out rate.

To put it plainly they have access to lower rates bc they are a fukking bank. Magics probably getting 4-5%. If they increase revenue for the next 5 years they have to pay a percentage of those profits to Guggenheim. So for about 2 years of rev increase is due to Guggenheim low rates which they'll play to them after the fact. Then once magics rates kick in net income will drastically decrease due to their debt obligations. On top of that magic is paying Guggenheim a fee to still run the business. The first thing u do in a buyout is cut un needed management not add to it.

So now Guggenheim gets a percentage of the profits, a management fee and bonus fee. :mjlol: Stuff not on the books when they had less debt obligation when they owned it.


To put it into context its like u Bn a race car driver and u get ur gas cheap. Someone buys ur car tells u to take care of it and they'll pay for that, if u win races at the same rate they'll pay u for that, and if u more races u get a bonus too. This is while they gas cost way more than u were paying in gas. Plus what's the point of winning more races when u going to get paid anyway:francis: and u already cashed on the car as well so ur not likely to take as much care of it.


The only way to come out of this with his head above water is cleaning house holding on and have someone save him in 3 years

Damn right. Also over the last century man life insurance companies have been sued due to over charging blacks more than whites for life insurance.

This is cool to see with magic. Remember for years he tried to buy more than the 5% of the Lakers franchise that Buss gave him. But Buss would never sell him a portion of the franchise.

Magic also tried to buy the supersonics before the Oklahoma group bought the team. He also tried to buy Ebony and Jet Magazine but Linda Johnson-rice did not want to sell the company. He tried to buy the clippers but we saw how that turned out when Microsoft dude paid twice the going rate for the team.

Then a few years ago magic started to liquify his investments looking to purchase the Pistons as well but ownership would not sell it to him and his investors.

People like to talk about MJ owning the bobcats but forget if it wasn't for Bob Johnson a black man who sold the team to him at a discount he would have never had an NBA team. Folks forget how many times MJ tried to buy teams that were supposedly for sale and when MJ became interested and had an investment group the team was suddenly not for sale any more.
