With the many "hot takes" in the past 10 days about the Clippers/Kawhi
Leonard, it's been surprising (though maybe it shouldn't be) that until now
no reporter has bothered to reach out to me for the facts about that
contract. This is what I told the NY Times/Athletic today:

在過去10天關於快艇/Kawhi的"大膽假設"到處傳，我很驚訝(或許也不該)直到現在沒有任
何一位記者主動聯繫我，詢問關於這份合約的真相。以下是我今天告訴紐約時報/The
Athletic的內容：

The claim that the contract with Kawhi Leonard was a "no show" contract is
false. The contract contained three pages of extensive obligations that
Leonard had to perform. And the contract clearly said that if Leonard did not
meet those obligations, Aspiration could terminate the contract. The “beliefs
” provision is not unusual in celebrity endorsements and merely means we can
’t do something like make a vegetarian eat meat as a way of forcing them to
break the contract. It doesn’t mean you can have a “belief” of not talking
to a camera.

In the months of discussion among our executives before signing the
sponsorship, I don’t remember conversations about the NBA salary cap. I
signed the contract shortly before I submitted my resignation, but before I
left there were numerous internal conversations about the various things
Aspiration was planning to do with Leonard once the 2022-23 season began,
including emails from the marketing team about their plans in just the week
before my last day. I can’t speak to what was done or not done after I left
– or why.

Joe Sanberg is now pleading guilty to criminal acts that were among the
reasons that I decided to resign from Aspiration in 2022 and that the company
eventually went bankrupt. Those now calling our company a “fraud” are
blaming the victims. Along with all our customers and investors, it is those
of us who worked at Aspiration and gave years of our lives to its mission who
were hurt most by what Sanberg did.

關於與Kawhi Leonard簽訂的合約是"掛名合約"的說法是錯誤的。合約中包含三頁Leonard
必須履行的廣泛義務。而且合約中明確規定，如果Leonard 未能履行這些義務，
Aspiration有權終止合約。"信仰"條款在名人代言中並不罕見，它僅僅意味著我們不能強
迫某人做違背其信仰的事，例如強迫素食者吃肉來讓他們違約。這並不代表你可以聲稱
"相信"自己不必接受鏡頭訪問。






超大型失速假新聞/陰謀論列車

然後直到今天才有人去訪問這位理論上掌握最多資訊的CEO



笑死

Hi Andrei —

Your tweet is, obviously, false.
@pablofindsout requested an on-camera interview with you via LinkedIn. We then
e-mailed you a series of detailed questions. (You told me they got lost in your
spam filter.)

Also: this is you, right?

你說的全是假話

我們有用LinkedIn找你上節目，還Email問你一些細節上的問題。(你告訴我他們在你的垃
圾郵件裡。)

然後:這是你對吧?

Cherny:

Pablo is right on this. By "past 10 days," I meant since his podcast. I
originally wrote it that way but it was too many characters.

As for his screenshot it was bad reporting at the time (as I said then) and
the DOJ charges make clear what happened and who the fraudster was.

Pablo說的這個是對的。"過去10天"我是指自從他的Podcast以後。我原本是這樣寫的但字
太多了。


這是你聯絡的截圖然後這是糟糕的報導(根據我被告知的)且司法部已經澄清發生了甚麼以
及誰才是騙子。

(Pablo問他要不要上節目的截圖 基本上全是問政治相關的東西 與Aspiration沒啥關聯)
