The case draws attention because Walter is one of the main figures of TWG Global, a holding company that controls TWG Motorsport, responsible for motorsport operations such as Andretti Global, Cadillac F1, Spire Motorsport, as well as other teams in different categories.
According to the information, federal prosecutors initiated investigations in 2025 related to Guggenheim, a global investment and financial services company of which Walter is CEO and shareholder through TWG. The company’s asset management arm manages approximately US$ 362 billion.
According to Bloomberg, the FBI executed at least one search and seizure warrant in September 2025. In parallel, authorities also began investigating insurers Delaware Life Insurance Co. and Clear Spring Life and Annuity Co., also controlled by the businessman.
Still according to the American agency, prosecutors seek to clarify whether some of these companies failed to report that certain private credit investments were supporting other areas of Walter’s business conglomerate.

In a statement, TWG informed that it is cooperating with authorities: “The company is aware of the investigation and cooperating with it,” the group stated in a press release.
In addition to its presence in Formula 1 with Cadillac and Andretti Global, TWG Motorsport has participation in various motorsport categories. These include Spire Motorsport in NASCAR, Wayne Taylor Racing in IMSA, and Walkinshaw TWG Racing, which competes in the Australian Supercars championship.
Off the track, Walter’s sports empire includes some of the world’s best-known organizations. The businessman has stakes in teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB, and Chelsea, a traditional English football club.
