NEW: Why did Kawhi Leonard start LLCs code-named "RIFC," the week before the Clippers announced his 2024 sub-max contract? The superstar, his uncle and then-agent are all investors in Rhode Island FC — yet ANOTHER secret side deal. Until our 10-month investigation with WPRI 12.

@PabloTorre @wpri12 i know kawhi’s uncle hates pablo

@wpri12 Please keep doing this and maybe even hold back some until the NBA's report comes out so you can show how poor a job they did over their year long investigation

Watch @PabloTorre's new Kawhi Leonard investigation, reported in partnership with @WPRI12:

@wpri12 Much more from @Eli_Sherman and our partners at @WPRI12:

@wpri12

@wpri12 Torre playing Kawhi Leonard level defense on this case

@wpri12 The fact Kawhi is still awaiting sentencing from the last investigation you initiated and now you break this

@wpri12 San Antonio sitting back smiling. We tried to tell yall!

Do you think it’s just a random coincidence that the Rhode Island Governor was sitting at the Clippers home opener, in the seats owned by the main sponsor of the Clippers, “Visit Rwanda”, nonetheless. With the owner of RIFC - whose stadium was built on tax payers money diverted for low income housing, and the public funds was passed by the same governor? And it’s just happen chance that Kawhi Leonard is also involved?

@wpri12 This guy is really gargling Kawhis balls.. He must’ve fucked his wife or slapped his boyfriend or something 🤷🏻‍♂️ Absolutely no one cares about this garbage.. Also I hope you get slapped up.

@wpri12 You literally hyped up a nothing burger😭😭

@wpri12 What a waste of my time. Didn’t prove anything, also makes me wonder what kind of shady dealings David Sampson did to make the marlins stadium deal a thing. You should look into that.

@wpri12 pablo not letting up. 😭 man we need Kawhi in Toronto to slow down the Sixers. please relax. lmao.

@wpri12 the bot responses attacking this are pretty telling lol

@wpri12 Adam Silver when it comes to the Clippers fraud

can you fucking let a fucking go? God forbid that Kawai had some off court business ventures with the people that he was already doing business with shocker. I don’t see you doing any of these investigations about LeBron who has 1 million of these scenarios throughout his career. Like right now, or he just took an abysmal amount of money after it was reported that he’s in business with the guy that used to own the team.

@wpri12 LLCs are common for asset protection. Could this be routine planning rather than a secret deal?

@wpri12 This all much ado about nothing. It’s suspicious and Pablo does a great job leading the audience to make certain presumptions. But at the end of the day, there is literally zero hard evidence of cap circumvention in this whole episode.

@wpri12 So funny that this story isn’t gaining anywhere near the traction it typically would strictly because Pablo is so insanely unlikable.

@wpri12 Every time Kawai opens his socials. Pablo be right there like.....

@LeBatardShow @wpri12 You gonna give Shohei this same level of slander or nah???

@LeBatardShow @wpri12 Can’t wait for the follow-on episode to this when @PabloTorre brings the financial receipts associated with this soccer team and “housing investments” in Rhode Island.

@wpri12 This bum can be investigating Bill Gates & billionaires but instead wastes his life investigating a black athlete💀

@wpri12 Why do I get the feeling you’ve been sitting on this for a while at the request of the NBA to finish their investigation. But as soon as they announce the investigation could go on until 2027, you drop this bomb.

@wpri12 Who cares, do Russini coward.

@wpri12 You have no smoking gun. Just pure guess work and speculation. And disgruntled former employees. Nbpa and Ballmer's lawyers will have a field day exposing this nonsensical investigation lol

@wpri12 I have to listen to the podcast but this feels like a stretch? Pro athletes want to invest in sports. Theis investing might show that there are connections between the clips and rifc but whats wrong with that?

@LeBatardShow @wpri12 Never seen someone so invested into trying to destroy someone’s career like this man is doing to Kawhi. Mind you the only time I see him in my TL is when he talks about Kawhi. This is weird.

@wpri12 NEW: Pablo Torre reports that an NBA player is a silent minority investor using an extremely common investment structure. Insane engagement farming.

@wpri12 Whatever happened to this? The NBA just chose to have it go away?

@wpri12 The fact they kept not responding to requests and not commenting so you just asked the Rhode Island local reporters to interview them and then on the record they just confirm everything you had guessed was such a cool part. Shows the importance of local journalists

@wpri12 0 housing built for someone who is supposedly interested in building affordable housing. So not only did Kawhi plant 0 trees, but he also built 0 housing. This is beyond crazy😭

@LeBatardShow @wpri12 Keep doing what you’re doing @PabloTorre some of these replies must be Uncle Dennis’s burners. Since he don’t have a no show job anymore.

@PabloTorre @wpri12 Oh man I can’t wait to listen to this

@PabloTorre @wpri12 SA fans watching Toronto and LAC get every bit of the mess they signed up for.

@wpri12 If anyone is wondering why the NBA saying this investigation will take until 2027, just look at that stack of papers…
