They just didn't count on people like me, I guess, ever caring enough to follow the clues down the rabbit hole and find out that, oh, wait,

This was a job that required you to do nothing and you did nothing.

And so that feels like a problem.

Yeah, that's also, I mean, logical question.

Now, the thing about this story, though, is that Aspiration, while totally obscure until really like it goes viral this morning, they were announced to be the 23-year, $300 million plus founding sponsor of the Intuit Dome.

They were announced.

We have press conference footage of Steve Palmer sitting next to Joe Sandberg, the guy who has now pled guilty to two counts of wire fraud, by the way, and a nine-figure fraud as investigated by the DOJ and now still the SEC.

So this was out there.

It's just that nobody knew Kawhi was working for them.

But Zaz, to your point, the reason I found out about this is because in the bankruptcy filing, because the company has, of course, collapsed into disgrace and financial ruin.

In the bankruptcy filing, you see the list of creditors.

And buried there, which was publicly available, by the way, was this line item that said $7 million outstanding to KL2 Aspire LLC.

And I looked up what that was in the California Secretary of State database.

And it was, oh, Kawhi Leonard's LLC.

Interesting.

I then Googled, did he ever do anything for Aspirate?

Because I'd never seen that.

And it's weird to have Kawhi Leonard as one of your top endorsers.

And there was nothing.

And at that point, that's when I'm like, something doesn't add up here.
