According to a report from Lakers Daily, FBI agents seized Los Angeles Lakers owner Mark Walter’s phone and laptop as part of an ongoing federal investigation involving his business interests.
The reported seizure was carried out pursuant to a court-authorized search in September 2025 and is tied to a broader federal inquiry into financial dealings connected to companies associated with Walter. The investigation reportedly includes scrutiny of insurance-related transactions and lending practices involving businesses under his control.
As of this writing, no criminal charges have been announced against Walter in connection with the reported investigation, and there has been no indication that the inquiry involves the Los Angeles Lakers or the club’s basketball operations.
Walter, who became the majority owner of the Lakers in 2025, also serves as CEO of TWG Global and holds ownership stakes in several professional sports organizations, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Sparks, Chelsea FC, and the Cadillac Formula 1 team.
The reported seizure has drawn renewed attention following recent media coverage of the federal investigation. Additional details have not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
