Buying the Clubs: 777 Partners and the Five Hundred Million Dollar Fraud Charges

Buying the Clubs examines the rise and collapse of 777 Partners, an investment firm that used prestige, speed, and sports ownership to project legitimacy while allegedly hiding deep financial instability. As lenders poured in more than five hundred million dollars, prosecutors say the firm recycled collateral, obscured risk, and kept money moving long after the math no longer worked. What begins as an aggressive private credit strategy ends as a criminal case that exposes how complexity, access, and confidence can be weaponized to delay collapse.
