MPW disclosed $240M in 'master lease' loans to Steward in the past 18 months; loans to tenants who then pay rent back is a circular-cash-flow structure that inflates MPW's distributable earnings without any external cash inflow. **Forensic flags:** (1) MPW's AFFO definition capitalises 'normalised' rent that differs from actual cash receipts by $0.15–0.20/share annually; (2) three of the five Steward hospitals in Massachusetts are under active investigation by CMS for patient-safety deficiencies — one revocation event causes immediate rent loss under the master lease; (3) the dividend yield of 11.5% is now a trap: if Steward files Chapter 11, MPW must cut the dividend within one quarter to preserve REIT election. FRED SOFR data confirms floating-rate refinancing risk on MPW's variable-rate debt — 470bp of hikes have pushed interest coverage toward 1.3×. **Risk:** MPW raises equity capital or finds an alternative tenant at equivalent rent before Steward restructures.
