More evidence of the Xiaoka scandal: Ballmer spent 118 million yuan in 18 months, and the text message suspected of Ka s uncle asking for money is exposed

On September 19, TA reporter Pablo Torre revealed more evidence of Xiaoka's suspected Yin-Yang contract. Several bank statements were exposed. Ballmer injected $118 million into the company involved in the case in 18 months, and screenshots of the text messages suspected to be Ka's uncle and Aspiration were also exposed.

Pablo Torre reported and listed as Aspiration's bank statement record. On December 6, 2022, Dennis Wong, a Clippers shareholder and Ballmer's college roommate, who had never had contact with Aspiration, injected $2 million into Aspiration. On December 15, 2022, Aspiration transferred $1.75 million to Xiaoka's company KL2 Aspire.

Pablo also posted a series of records of Ballmer and the Clippers' direct or indirect investment in Aspiration.

On June 14, 2022, the Clippers injected $20.96 million into Aspiration for carbon emission reduction projects, with the goal of reducing carbon emissions by planting trees, and the signature at the end was Clippers' chief financial officer; Pablo said that the investment occurred two weeks before Leonard received the first endorsement fee for Aspiration and was received very quickly.

On April 4, 2022, on the day when Xiaoka's company KL2 Aspire signed a $28 million endorsement contract with Aspiration, Aspiration received another $32.44 million injected by the Clippers.

Regarding the injecting $20.96 million on June 14, 2022, the Clippers officially issued a statement - "Steve (Balmer) and his family have always been committed to sustainable development, so the Intuit Dome venue has aimed at carbon neutral buildings since its inception and plans to gradually obtain LEED Zero certification. The venue development agreement originally included mandatory requirements for purchasing carbon credit, but after delving into carbon neutrality issues, we have significantly exceeded these requirements - not only explored the solution to the carbon emissions generated by fans' participation, but also cooperated with Aspiration to directly purchase carbon offsets and facilitate the acquisition of additional offsets.

Partial commitments have been included in the sponsorship agreement with Aspiration (completely independent of investment in the company), We continue to pay Aspiration until the company is unable to fulfill its responsibilities.

These measures reflect Steve's desire to set a positive example and raise awareness of the increasingly important role of the voluntary carbon market. Unfortunately, like many other investors and employees, Steve was deceived in this investment and some of the agreement. "

The following is the specific timeline for the Clippers to inject capital into Aspiration -

September 2021 Ballmer personally purchased Aspiration's stock worth $50 million at a premium of $11 per share to invest

April 1, 2022 The Clippers injected $3 million into Aspiration

April 4, 2022 The Clippers injected $32.44 million into Aspiration

June 14, 2022 The Clippers injected $20.96 million into Aspiration

December 2022 Clippers shareholder and Ballmer's roommate Dennis Wong injected $1.99 million into Aspiration through his company DEA 88

March 9, 2023 Ballmer injected $10 million in Aspiration through his personal company Polpat. During the 18-month period, Ballmer and the Clippers directly or indirectly invested about $118 million in Aspiration.

It is worth mentioning that Pablo reported that Sanberg's trial documents showed that Aspiration encountered a financial crisis at the end of 2022. From the fall of 2022 to the spring of 2023, the company raised funds from the outside world for at least 19 times, all of which were rejected. The only investment was Ballmer's investment of 10 million yuan on March 9, 2023.

At the end of March 2023, the US government launched an investigation into Aspiration. Finally, in August 24, the company was defined as a fraud company, and founder Sanberg was arrested in March 25.

Pablo also posted trial documents of the founder of Aspiration, who chose to remain silent when asked about Ballmer.

Pablo even posted a screenshot of the communication between suspected uncle Dennis Robertson and Joe Sanberg, one of the founders of Aspiration, on the show.

SMS content - Good morning, Joe, I hope you have had a perfect weekend, just a reminder that things are still not going well now. It has been about 14 days since we contacted Mike but we still haven't replied. Thank you, just let you know about this.

Pablo said that Mike in the article, he can be confirmed to be Mike Shakaro, general counsel for Aspiration. Pablo said they asked Mike about the text message, but the latter did not respond.

Pablo said he could confirm that this was a screenshot of communication text messages between Xiaoka's uncle Dennis Robertson and Joe Sanberg about the additional 20 million shares contract. The 20 million shares in the 48 million contract were paid in four years from Joe Sanberg, one of the founders of Aspiration.

The league is currently investigating Xiaoka's suspected Yin-Yang contract and the Clippers' suspected evasion of the salary cap. More evidence and details are exposed, which means that the probability of the Clippers being punished has increased.
