Joseph Sanberg, co-founder of the now-bankrupt green banking company Aspiration, was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison Monday.

The sentencing marks a major development involving a former executive tied to a company now under scrutiny in the basketball world. No further details about the NBA investigation or its potential impact on the Clippers were provided.
