Dominion Voting Systems and Hauser Private Equity
In 2018, Staple Street Capital Group purchased 76% of the stock in Dominion Voting Systems, fueled by funding offered by Hauser Private Equity, among others. At the time of the purchase, Dominion was worth roughly $80 million.
After the 2020 election, Fox News Corporation played a pivotal role in spreading defamatory messages about Dominion voting machines. As a result, Dominion would sue for damages to the tune of $1.6 billion. The lawsuit would be settled for roughly half of that amount, leading to a settlement between Fox Corporation and Dominion for $787 million.
As an initial investor in Staple Street, Hauser Private Equity saw major financial returns due to the multi-million dollar settlement. Staple Street also received a statement from Fox News acknowledging the court’s ruling that the channel had broadcast many false claims about Dominion machines causing voting fraud during the 2020 elections.
Mark Hauser weighed in on the settlement by stating, “We are very pleased with the outcome and think that Staple Street has handled the situation very well on behalf of their investors.”
Hauser went on to applaud Staple Street for how they tackled the job as well as the work done by the leaders of their management team. Hauser also touted the firm’s mutually beneficial partnerships and its commitment to honesty and transparency.
