In October 2025, Sanberg pleaded guilty to defrauding investors and banks out of US$248 million. Sanberg inflated Aspiration's revenue numbers by concealing that revenue booked to external customers was in fact from entities controlled by Sanberg, and, along with board member Ibrahim AlHusseini created false bank statements in order to fraudulently obtain $145 million in loans.
