Greetings.
In response to Aspiration co-founder Andrei Cherny — who now claims that Kawhi
Leonard’s secret, $28M endorsement deal was not a “no-show job” — @pablofind
sout has just obtained the following statement.
It is signed by Aspiration’s ex-CFO; ex-COO and CLO; and ex-CTO.
您好。
針對 Aspiration 聯合創辦人 Andrei Cherny——他現在聲稱 Kawhi Leonard 的祕密 2800
萬美元代言合約並不是「掛名職位」——@pablofindsout 剛剛取得了以下聲明。
該聲明由 Aspiration 前任 CFO、前任 COO 兼 CLO,以及前任 CTO 簽署。

Joint Statement of Aspiration Senior Executive Team
At the time of the KL2 Aspire, LLC endorsement arrangement with Kawhi Leonard (t
he "Leonard Deal"), we served as Aspiration's Chief Legal Officer, Chief Technol
ogy Officer, and Chief Financial Officer, reporting directly to then-CEO Andrei
Cherny.
The Leonard Deal was presented to the company as a completed arrangement and exe
cuted by Mr. Cherny despite significant objections from members of this senior m
anagement team. It did not reflect any strategy previously communicated to us, n
or was it reviewed through Aspiration's Investment Committee process. For compar
ison, a transaction of similar size ($29.5m) in the same period was subject to t
hat review, as described in the federal court decision in Zero Carbon Holdings,
LLC and Four Thirteen, LLC v. Aspiration Partners, Inc., No. 23-cv-05262 (LJL) (
S.D.N.Y. May 1, 2024).
The team expressed concerns at the time regarding the high cost of the agreement
and its lack of alignment with Aspiration's brand and business strategy. While
subsequent marketing efforts were undertaken, they were ultimately discontinued
and should not be interpreted as support for the deal itself.
In our judgment, the Leonard Deal was not in the company's best interest. It was
strategically difficult to justify then, and it remains so today.

Aspiration 高階主管團隊的聯合聲明
在 KL2 Aspire, LLC 與 Kawhi Leonard 的代言協議(以下稱「Leonard 協議」)簽訂時,
我們擔任 Aspiration 的首席法務長、首席技術長與首席財務長,並直接向當時的執行長 A
ndrei Cherny 報告。
「Leonard 協議」是由 Cherny 先生在我們這個高階管理團隊成員提出重大反對意見的情況
下,作為一個已完成的安排提交給公司並簽署執行的。該協議既不反映先前向我們傳達的任
何策略,也未經 Aspiration 投資委員會的審查程序。作為對照,同一時期一筆金額相近(
2,950 萬美元)的交易,則經過了該審查程序,如聯邦法院在 Zero Carbon Holdings, LLC
與 Four Thirteen, LLC 訴 Aspiration Partners, Inc. 一案中的裁決所述(案號 23-cv
-05262 (LJL),美國紐約南區聯邦地方法院,2024 年 5 月 1 日)。
當時,團隊對於該協議高昂的成本,以及其與 Aspiration 品牌及商業策略缺乏契合之處,
表達了憂慮。雖然後續進行了一些行銷活動,但最終仍被中止,且不應被解讀為對該協議本
身的支持。
依我們的判斷,「Leonard 協議」並不符合公司的最佳利益。當時在策略上難以正當化,直
到今天依然如此。

Cherny沒多久反擊
Hi @PabloTorre, I suspect that social media is not the best place to hash this a
ll out and don't remember an "Aspiration Investment Committee" but nothing in th
is statement conflicts with what I wrote yesterday
嗨 @PabloTorre,我懷疑社群媒體不是解決這一切的最佳場所,而且我也不記得有「Aspira
tion 投資委員會」,但這份聲明裡沒有任何內容與我昨天寫的相衝突。

Pablo對這則內容回覆
Good evening. You don't "remember" a lot about what happened at Aspiration, it s
eems. But I strongly recommend the opinion of the Hon. Lewis J. Liman, in the So
uthern District of New York, in the federal case that was explicitly cited in th
e statement I posted.
Because he does:
晚安。看來你對 Aspiration 發生的事情「記不得」太多。不過我強烈建議你參考紐約南區
聯邦法院 Lewis J. Liman 法官在那起被我貼出的聲明中明確引用的聯邦案件所作出的判決
意見。
因為他記得:

The First Phase of the Negotiations A.
The first phase of negotiations began in mid-January 2022 and lasted until appro
ximately February 1, 2022, when Aspiration's investment committee rejected a pro
posed transaction and Shuckerow was tasked with negotiating the terms of a revis
ed transaction. The first phase
談判第一階段 A.
第一階段的談判始於 2022 年 1 月中旬,並持續到大約 2022 年 2 月 1 日。在那時,「A
spiration 投資委員會」否決了一項擬議的交易,而 Shuckerow 則被指派去談判修訂後交
易的條款。
目前Cherny帳號還沒看到對Pablo的反擊做出反擊,但讓我們繼續看下去(吃瓜)
