Pablo. Glad I could help! Will you now admit that you and your sources who said it was common knowledge the $50m was for cap circumvention were incorrect ? And the Wong 2m and 10m weren’t directed to KL ? And You focus too much on the dates. A contract paid quarterly is

2. You are missing the big prize that drove everything. You have your sports brain on. But this really isn’t about sports at all. It’s a story about a guy who defrauded a lot of people and whose only hope od staying out of jail was this merger happening and then the stock

3. The price that was paid for the shares was the pre conversion price. Not a premium. 4. I would talk to a securities lawyer and show them everything. See what they say. Get a really expensive one. Spend as much of Lebatard’s money as possible. If you are right and the

@mcuban You say you're sure he doesn't care about the cap.. but if he knew this was about cap circumvention and was intentionally feeding company money to Kawhi for that purpose, isn't that still more criminal activity? Seems worthy of pleading the 5th over.

@mcuban Mark, I'm guessing , you've done this with the Mavs and just protecting owners so this doesn't lead to an audit of teams

@mcuban Can anyone explain Cuban’s obsession with this story other than Pablo’s reporting is accurate?

@mcuban Just wanted to know why would it be this difficult to explain a deal if there is nothing wrong with it !! Like it should be straight forward as Mark is saying then why NBA is investing in first place ,I think Mark can also present the case for clippers as a representative

@mcuban Should talk to people in the carbon credit business? Did he not just spend 7 months talking tink actual hard workers at aspiration who were fighting for what they thought was a company doing the right thing? A …..carbon credit company? You’re implementing yourself.

@mcuban The mental gymnastics you're doing without bringing anything to table to support half the shit youve said is hilarious. Youre entire argument is based on you projecting how you wouldve did it if you were in Ballmer's shoes rather than actually looking at the information in front

@mcuban You are an elite businessman. As a fellow yinzer, I hate the fact that you are in this fight that is not yours. Please answer these questions: Why would Ballmer, a sought-after premium value investor, invest at a high valuation of $11 per share? After the initial $50m, the

@mcuban Absolutely. 100%. What I found shocking was just how junior finance dude Source #1 sounded. So far below a decision maker, who is enjoying the attention and importance Pablo is trying to imbue him with

@mcuban Mark, it’s time to lay low You immediately coming to Ballmer’s defense was a clear indication that you also circumvented the salary cap when you were owner You defended him right away because you know you’re guilty of doing similar stuff

@mcuban You just want so badly to be right. What's the motivation for Ballmer to dump more money into aspiration in 2023 with disclosures basically saying the company is fucked? There's no way you do that unless it's not an investment at all.

@mcuban Mark 🙄🙄🙄. Like cmon. You know some shady shit has gone down here. Let’s just see where the investigation leads at this point. You and everyone should want transparency and an equal playing field in sports.

@mcuban @mcuban it’s embarrassing!! You are tweeting about this with obsession I can’t get it and don’t think it helps you in anyway! Why the h*ll would you tweet about it so much if you don’t have an interest? Let it be

@mcuban Dear god, man. You’ve never looked more guilty by association. I joked before that we need to look into the Dirk deals but I’m actually thinking the League should now. Take the L and walk away before you unleash hell on your former club.

@mcuban I DON’T KNOWS WHOSE CREDIBILITY HAS TAKEN A BIGGER HIT HERE - BALLMER’S or CUBAN’S? In all honesty it is probably Cuban’s because he has inserted himself into so much of the public discourse and his supporters from the past (like me) are realizing he is a bad faith actor. If

@mcuban Mark, buddy, you going this hard to defend something that has nothing to do with you makes it seem like you have a guilty conscience. Should pablo look into the mavs books during your tenure? 👀

@mcuban Cuban has to have his hands in this somehow. He’s being so defensive hmmm

@mcuban @grok has mark cuban ever admitted he was wrong after being shown evidence?

@mcuban You’re really standing on this but didn’t go back on Pablo’s show? Seems so disingenuous to frame it this way, seems like maybe all of the owners are doing something similar and if Balmer gets caught - so do you all.

@mcuban @mcuban Do you not realize, Mark, that the court of public opinion does not care whatsoever what your counterpoints are? It comes off as overly defensive and petty that a billionaire would spend the time capital to iterate their thoughts like this. Nobody's a fan of how

@mcuban It makes me wonder if all of these stadium/arena deals involve money laundering, fraud and cap circumvention. Maybe Ballmer was following the in the footsteps of other owners that cheat. Are pro sports in America universally corrupt?

@mcuban @mcuban Just because you are rich doesn't mean your smart, ethical or have a good moral compass. That goes for you as well! What are you hiding 🤔 Great reporting by @PabloTorre !

@mcuban Cuban is definitely a burner human being for Ballmer there’s just no other possible explanation

@mcuban What do you think would be an appropriate punishment if Clippers are found guilty? Do you think rules should be adjusted given how easy it is to circumvent them? Otherwise why have rules when one can use this type of workarounds and it’s difficult to prove guilt.

@mcuban Man just let the investigation go. You're not helping this situation

@mcuban Must be a slow day on shark tank

@mcuban Mark Cuban, who claimed to be too busy, ironically seems to have all the time on his hands, because he's writing legit novels on Twitter. lol Stop being a spineless billionaire pussy & go on his podcast or shut up. It's played out Mark. You're an actual embarrassment.

@mcuban This mark cuban character seems like a con artist. His word salad rants seem to make him think he is proving or rather disproving something. But it’s literally just word garbage with absolute no knowledge of law or facts to this particular case

@mcuban Mark, you say and do a lot of good things but this definitely isnt it. Just stop, you're making yourself look guilty.

@mcuban They are literally laundering money for the express purpose of Kawhi Leonard and you continue to turn a blind eye to protect Steve Ballmer. Time to get over yourself mark. What. Joel you've become

@mcuban There is no way, I mean zero chance Mark is putting in this much work for nothing. Public opinion is 95% against Ballmer. I suspect the NBA or Ballmer has been encouraging or employing Mark to fight for that 5% and try to grow it.

@mcuban The good news about all this time Cuban is spending researching this is he clearly states reasons why this is not fraudulent…only for Pablo to follow that trail and find more evidence. He is secretly working with Pablo to eliminate Ballmer’s plausible deniability.

@mcuban “If they wanted to circumvent the cap they’d buy a ton of carbon credits lol.” *Clippers found to have paid millions for credits* “If they knew it was a fraud they wouldn’t be stupid enough to keep investing.” *later rounds of funding 100% outline that Aspiration was failing*

@mcuban No one believes you. This makes you look shady as well 😐

@mcuban Two things can be true … Clippers had legitimate business relations, including carbon credit investments, with Aspire. But also that they funnelled some of the money into a dying company to ensure KL got some payout under his Aspire sponsorship deal…
