Live broadcast on September 19 TA reporter Pablo Torre, who allegedly blasted Leonardo, once again updated more information and evidence in his podcast.
It is understood that originally Aspiration could pay the expenses required in Leonard's agreement through the profits of the company's operations. Aspiration's carbon neutral project is mainly profitable through the tree planting business. A tree charges $1, but the cost is only 10-20 cents. However, Aspiration was accused of fraud in subsequent operations, and eventually the company went bankrupt, making it unable to continue to pay Leonard.
It is that afterwards, Ballmer and the Fast Ship have invested directly or indirectly in Aspiration several times, not only to help it maintain the company’s operations, but also to pay Leonardo.
