Pablo Torre Finds Out · We Investigated Magic Johnson, Mark Walter... and Your Nest Egg · 4 Sep 2026 podcast

It's all one big Spider-Man meme.

It sure seems affiliated, but if you look at Equitrust 2025 annual statement, just like its prior statements, it places JLC positions in the unaffiliated section and reports no affiliated invested assets in the relevant totals.

And the reason this all matters, Pablo, isn't because like we love regulations and rules and disclosures.

It's because when you buy an insurance policy, it's a contract.

One that says if anything happens to you, your loved ones.

We'll be all right.

That's sacred.

And you wanna make sure that between now and then

your insurer isn't taking that trust and using it to enrich themselves through a totally separate business.

Which is that as of last November, amid this ongoing federal investigation, Magic did something else reminiscent of Mark Walter.

He stopped being the controlling owner of Equitrust.

charge of Amistad, Sam?

Amistad's managing founder is Eric Holliman, Magic's right hand man.

There's not that much known about how exactly this purchase went down, how much, if any, of Equitrust Magic Johnson still owns.

What we do know is that Amistad took out a big loan to be able to buy Equitrust, and that Fitch, the ratings agency, downgraded Equitrust's outlook to negative after this transaction.

It's a little bit unclear, but what we do know is that the entity formerly known as Equitrust Magic Johnson's Insurance Company is now part of an insurance company being actively probed by the Department of Justice.

That's run by Magic Johnson's best friend, Eric Holman.

None of these people are

Talking.

We did not get anything from Holliman either.
