Reporter who broke the news about Xiaoka incident: Ballmer was deceived by his partners and committed fraud against the NBA

October 26th Reporter Pablo Torre, who broke the news about the Xiaoka incident, talked about the Clippers again in a talk show today.

The reporter said: "The story of the Clippers is about the richest owner in the sports world. This giant in the top ten wealth list in the world, according to my investigation, is persistently pursuing the only goal that cannot be purchased directly with money. In today's era, the unique thing about sports leagues is that even if you have 150 billion US dollars, you are still subject to the NBA's salary cap rules—— This rule limits the amount of money the wealthy can invest in the most precious basketball assets (superstars).

"The investigation ultimately revealed that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer was deceived by his trusted partners and jointly committed a fraud against the NBA in order to pay huge rewards to Leonard, the most mysterious athlete in the world.

‘It all revolves around a company called Aspiration, whose co-founder Joe Sandberg has pleaded guilty in court this month to two charges of wire fraud, officially being recorded as a fraudster. Ballmer invested $50 million in the company, and the company created a fictitious "shadow position" for Leonard, guaranteeing Leonard a $48 million remuneration through a secret agreement. This never-disclosed deal was ostensibly packaged as an endorsement contract.

"As an investigative reporter, the most intriguing aspect of this case is that usually 'lack of evidence' is a difficulty in investigation, but this time I not only obtained more than 3,000 pages of documents and confirmations from 7 sources, but more importantly, since this is an endorsement contract, the core question immediately emerged, 'Has he publicly fulfilled his endorsement obligations?', and the answer is no."
