I was hoping someone would start a thread on this. I actually think the story is BS in the sense that there is no way Lavar and whoever else is involved with him didn't know about Foster's white collar criminal backround. That is absurd. The guy did like 6-7 years jail time right before meeting them.
But beyond that, I'm not even sure if that Foster guy outright stole the money. It's probably one of those situations where it was more grey area. Lavar has been driving luxury cars since Lonzo was like 13-14 years old, I'm sure this guy was bankrolling a lot of that and he was finally getting his kick back. Then once Lonzo found out about this, he probably saw it a little differently. That's just speculation but I'm sure there is a lot of grey to it when you're selling stock in your kids.
Even the smarter sports reporters are unsure of what to say on the matter because it seems like more info may come out.
Either way, just goes to show you can't pick your family. Hope Lonzo can get healthy and get his career on track.

SEATTLE/KIGALI (Reuters) - Boeing Co will provide airlines that have bought the 737 MAX with free software upgrades, the U.S. manufacturer said on Monday, as Ethiopian Airlines told Reuters it expected a preliminary crash report this week or next.
Any fixes to the MAX software, the focus of investigations in two deadly crashes that have prompted worldwide groundings of the aircraft, must still get approval from governments around the world.
The causes of separate Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes are still unknown, though Ethiopian Airlines Chief Executive Officer Tewolde Gebremariam said on Monday he expected the release of a preliminary report into the crash that killed 189 people “maybe this week or next week”.
Ethiopian authorities are leading the investigation.
Meanwhile, Boeing has begun briefing airlines on software and training updates for the MAX, with more than 200 global airline pilots, technical experts and regulators due in Renton, Washington where the plane is built this week.
Tewolde told Reuters the leading African airline may or may not attend the briefing, but earlier said in a statement that Africa’s biggest carrier will work with Boeing and other airlines to make air travel safer.
“Despite the tragedy, Boeing and Ethiopian Airlines will continue to be linked well into the future,” Tewolde said in a statement. “Ethiopian Airlines believes in Boeing. They have been a partner of ours for many years.”
Qatar Airways, one of the largest Middle East carriers, also threw its support behind Boeing on Monday after two crashes since last October raised safety concerns about the 737 MAX.
The airline will however delay the April delivery of another MAX jet until the cause of the crash is known, said Qatar Chief Executive Akbar al-Baker.
“I am sure that the aircraft will get back into the skies soon and that Boeing will get to the bottom of what happened and if there is something technical wrong that they will find a fix for it,” he said.
The 737 MAX is Boeing’s best-selling plane, with orders worth more than $500 billion at list prices.
Boeing’s shares were up 1.5 percent midday on hopes that a fix is nearing completion, but have lost about 14 percent since the March 10 crash.
In another blow to Boeing, France announced on Monday that Airbus had agreed to sell 300 aircraft to China Aviation Supplies Holding Company, including 290 A320 planes and 10 A350, in a deal worth about is 30 billion euros ($34 billion)

Was curious why the plane crashed like that:
[FONT="]The subsequent investigation concluded that improperly secured cargo broke free during the take-off and [/FONT]shifted[FONT="] to the back of the cargo hold. The change in balance caused the aircraft to pitch up and [/FONT]stall[FONT="]. The shifted cargo also disabled the rear flight control systems, rendering the aircraft uncontrollable and making recovery from the stall impossible.[/FONT][SUP][3][/SUP]

A black starting a business with millions already in the bank and it failing??? No way.
Good God.
So typical. Obnoxious jackass gets free air time. Has a kid in the spot light that he takes air time away from and his "business associate" ends up stealing from his kid.
Most successful businesses don't start will a millionaire cash cow like Lonzo.
Lonzo would be better if he just cut ties with that idiot.
He is well on his way to ruining the youngest ones future. Should be great years for him with memories he will cherish the rest of his life. Nope. Instead he was fucking around in the Lithuanian D League instead of playing with his friends in Cali.
