Is Ballmer the only one or just the first one to get caught using creative accounting? I have my doubts that he is the only one.

You know I can't help but think Ballmer must be mad that Aspire had to file chapter 11 and reveal all this. Ballmer probably had enough spare change hanging around to keep the company afloat for the length of Leonard's contract.

I'm of two minds when it comes to other owners cheating. One the one hand these owners go through a tough vetting process before being granted a franchise and the amount of money being paid is already astronomical to the players. Then again these owners didn't become super rich being choirboys.
