Can any of your good friends or acquaintances access your account? Or any of your colleagues

It's not a friend or colleague, it's an employee, it's not like ohtani is sitting there writing checks for every transaction that comes along, others are going to have access.

Believe I posted this before, a couple worked for a guy as drivers and handyman. They charged over $34 mil to his American Express, including chartering jets.

Another angle, probably makes more sense

ESPN reported that a spokesman for Ohtani first said that the player had knowingly transferred the funds to cover the gambling debt of Mizuhara, Ohtani's long-term friend and associate.

The same spokesman organized an 90-minute interview between Mizuhara and ESPN on Tuesday night, where Mizuhara explained his side of the story.

He told ESPN that he had incurred the debts betting on the NBA, the NFL, college football and international soccer but never on baseball, which is prohibited by MLB rules.

“Obviously, he [Ohtani] wasn’t happy about it and said he would help me out to make sure I never do this again,” Mizuhara said. “He decided to pay it off for me."

“I want everyone to know Shohei had zero involvement in betting. I want people to know I did not know this was illegal. I learned my lesson the hard way. I will never do sports betting ever again,” he told ESPN.

However, ESPN said that as it prepared to publish its story Wednesday, the spokesman for Ohtani disavowed Mizuhara’s account and said the player’s lawyers would issue a statement.

The guy was making upwards of $500,000 a year

Only idiots give account access to drivers or handymen or interpreters. If he was also his financial advisor or accountant it would make sense but there has been no mention of that.

Jeezus.

Babbel costs $200. Maybe learn English for a fraction of the cost.
