I have two questions.
One, in terms of like the story, what was the other 70 million for?
So if it was funneled for Kawhi's 48, what was the other 70 for?
yeah it's a really good question so the thing that people need to understand as we go through this is that steve ballmer invests money into aspiration aspiration spends all of it virtually immediately and this is an enormous part of following the money and the sources that i spoke to provided documentation as well by the way as the documented financial filings disclosure forms that all proved that everybody else saw what was happening
seemingly except for Steve Ballmer, as in Aspiration got tons of money, $300 million in the fall of 2021, $50 million from Steve Ballmer to Billy's question in the fall of 2021.
What happens after they get that money?
They spend all of it before Kawhi Leonard's first payment in June of 2022 is due.
And so the cycle here is Steve Ballmer puts in money, Aspiration
asks for more money right when Kawhi Leonard must be paid.
And so when I speak to the alleged defrauding of Steve Ballmer, this is how it can coexist, is that he was kind of trapped according to the sequence of events and according to what the timeline might suggest in this relationship in which he knew he had to support a company
that was guarding the most embarrassing secret that he had.
And so they had leverage, according to the reporting, over him in that regard.
Although, of course, the degree to which he knew and when he knew remains, frankly, a crucially important topic for my investigation and the government's.
Yeah.
Can you explain carbon credits to me?
And are they similar to NFTs or crypto?
Like, how does this already ask that question?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You just made a carbon credit, Billy.
