Attorney Amir Yaniv says that because the player holds minority shares in one of the companies that owns Hapoel Jerusalem, his shares are in trust and he is not serving in an official capacity, there is no legal or ethical problem in joining the yellows.

In an opinion issued Thursday by the Attorney General of the Basketball Association Attorney Ronit Amir Yaniv, it was stated that there is no legal or ethical prevention under the Association's rules for signing Amara Stodmaier in Maccabi Tel Aviv, despite holding some shares owned by Hapoel Jerusalem.

Attorney Amir Yaniv checked and found that Stodmeyer holds minority shares in an LLC that owns some of the shares owned by Hapoel Jerusalem and his share is in trust and he does not serve in any official capacity.

Even according to the rules of the Association's ethics rules, because Stodmeyer does not participate in meetings of the Board of Directors of Hapoel Jerusalem and does not take part in the proposals, there is no reason for him to play in the ranks of another group.
