Aspiration联合创始人配合NBA对快船队的调查

Aspiration联合创始人Joseph Sanberg已配合NBA针对洛杉矶快船队涉嫌规避工资帽以支付Kawhi Leonard薪酬的持续调查。据联盟首席调查员透露,Sanberg进行了两次面对面访谈并提供了相关文件。此次调查源于其与Sanberg目前已破产公司之间的一项赞助协议。

洛杉矶快船队正面临NBA的审查,理由是涉嫌利用与Aspiration的赞助协议,在工资帽之外向Kawhi Leonard输送款项。该调查始于2025年9月,此前调查记者Pablo Torre在播客节目中披露,Leonard与Aspiration达成的2800万美元合同未能履行相关要求。此前,快船队老板Steve Ballmer曾向该公司投资5000万美元,随后又签署了一份价值3亿美元、为期23年的球队赞助合同,Ballmer还额外投入了1000万美元,总计投入6000万美元。据ESPN报道,Sanberg曾两次亲自会见联盟调查人员,并提供了有助于调查的文件。负责此项工作的NBA律师David Anders在致美国地区法官Stephen V. Wilson的信中写道,Sanberg提供的信息与其他证据吻合,且对了解关键事件大有裨益,双方并未进行任何交易。Sanberg近期承认了两项电信欺诈罪,因诈骗投资者2.48亿美元面临最高40年的监禁。Ballmer的律师向法官提交了另一封信,将Ballmer描述为Sanberg欺诈计划的受害者。他们指出Sanberg对公司财务和环境使命进行了虚假陈述,并强调了Ballmer在指控浮出水面后立即进行了内部审查并全力配合NBA调查。NBA总裁Adam Silver在2月全明星周末期间形容此案极其复杂,理由是涉及Aspiration的破产、数以千计的文件以及多名证人。他并未提供调查结束的具体时间表。
