SEC Targets Marlins For Shady Business

[Big Bid'Ness]

From:realgm

The Security and Exchange Commission has targeted the Miami Marlins, requesting financial records, communications with Major League Baseball officials, minutes of meetings with local government leaders and political campaign-contribution information.

While the subpoenas issued by the SEC do not explicitly detail the purpose of the investigation, the motives are obvious.

The feds want to understand how a group of county commissioners agreed to fund 80 percent of the Marlins new stadium, which cost more than $600 million, without ever seeing the team's financial records -- and whether bribes had anything to do with it.

The title will confuse someone lol.

Well, that is part of the issue, but it actually seems like they're looking into more, that uh, the politicians told the public it would Cost X dollars, and now it's going to cost the taxpayers much more than what they originally said.

The politicians were also convinced the Marlins would do much better business since the new stadium is much much closer to the city of Miami than where they were previously playing.
