Re: Breaking potential massive gambling scandal involving otani
By all accounts the two were extremely close, there was a lot more to it than translating. At one point ohtani joked to reporters they were more than friends, they were business partners.
I could see it either way, his having access to the account or ohtani covering the debt. I think it's the latter. Stealing the money doesn't really make sense. He had already created the debt, he didn't steal to gamble. I think ohtani covered it. How else would his name come up in the investigation. That was the story until it became messy for ohtani to be connected. Everything was fine until the press got hold of it. And it wasn't about theft, it was gambling

It's a slippery slope to excommunication from Cooperstown.
Just bet on your own team, Pete.

Yeah, what if they were Ohtani's debts and the interpreter is just taking the fall

Maybe he was just Ohtani's bookie.
Curious to see how deep this investigation goes.

Stephen A. finally asked the question about how he had access to Ohtani's accounts

Here is a question. Is his interpreter an insane lunatic that would be making bets which totaled 9x his annual income??? Even the biggest Gambling addicts would have more restraint than that I would think...
