God he’s a hack – and people are still choosing to believe the only reason they lost the Tempe vote is cause Smith was secretly funding the no campaign the entire time

NHL absolutely hoping they don’t have him as an owner again

silly politics

Brought literal receipts lol.

Maybe he lied about the number but it’s even funnier if he actually spent 7M in some way and didn’t report it and just admitted to a crime or violation

Reeeeeeceipts – don’t leave home without ‘em

This guys got enemies

Ah, but this isn’t accounting for the $6m he paid himself for running the campaign. Checkmate, nerds!

Why am I not surprised at all by this?

I just don’t understand why the NBA didn’t want such an honest gentleman running one of their teams

NHL praying they can wait the 5 years lol

An owner being scummy, who would’ve thought.

Meruelo is a total grifter – I hope the NHL doesn’t allow him back again

I’m giong to miss the Yotes. Where else am I supposed to get my fill of pulse-pounding municipal politics and campaign finance disclosure intrigue?
Seriously though, Meruelo is a fucking snake and Arizona fans deserve so much better. Here’s hoping you get a team with a competent owner soon. AZ is a solid market, I don’t think it’s a pipe dream to expect hockey to come back to the desert in the forseeable future

So 5.9 million in bribes?

I’m starting to think this Meruelo guy might not be on the up & up.

It’s insane that this dude spent more money on the hockey services of Josh Brown this year than he spent on trying to keep his team in an arena

6.999 million of that was on lawyers.

Is anyone really surprised after the reported story that the coyotes weren’t paying for hotels until they were threatened with not being able to book anymore, unless they paid upfront with a certified check?
Illustrious-Gain-863
…Yeah, the Coyotes aren’t coming back, are they?
Dammit.

Why does 7mil get you to do whatever you want

Was “Don’t lie about publicly available information” one of the milestones he has to hit to get the team back?

Funny thing about American politics… he probably did spend that much, and it’s just not going to show up for us.
The other thing is that he probably didn’t expect a competing billionaire to pump money into unions in order to sabotage the vote all to buy the team out from under him down the line.

I have to say, I have heard more news about and from Meruelo as a former owner, than when he was a current owner. Man only speaks up now when the only difference is regarding his public perception, nothing more
