New revelations continue to surface as the NBA probes allegations of salary-cap circumvention by the Los Angeles Clippers and star Kawhi Leonard.
Pablo Torre dropped another episode of his Pablo Torre Finds Out podcast on Monday and reported that Clippers team governor Steve Ballmer donated almost $1.9 million to Aspiration, the environmental company at the center of the allegations.
This was after the Clippers ended a sponsorship agreement with Aspiration and when the company was already under federal investigation.
“Am I taking crazy pills? It’s just inconceivable to me to be both hoodwinked and bamboozled yet continuously giving money to [Aspiration co-founder] Joe Sanberg,” one former Aspiration employee told Torre “… It does not make any iota of sense to invest in 2021, contribute nearly $100 million in carbon offset pre-purchases, reinvest in 2022-2023 round, claim all of that to be lost in 2023, and then come back for more in 2024 via charitable donation.”
