    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Right, I mean criminally but before the police got involved he'd have to file a complaint with them right? ESPN said his camp won't get back to them to confirm what authorities they've contacted about the theft.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I mean, if Ohtani does not go after Ippei for theft don't we kind of know the truth then?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Japan is a sophisticated country with strong family culture, I know he’s very private but do we not think he has a single family member looking after his interests? I don’t know why people want to portray Ohtani as a dunderhead too “naive” to handle his finances just because he’s not from here.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    So the type of financial institution a multi millionaire uses for his money doesn’t have any way to text in his native language? Also he’s been her several years, he hasn’t picked up a rudimentary understanding of English, enough to understand “wire transfer of a number with a LOT of zeros has...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Yes that is true. I guess I'm thinking too passionately because this story just really bums me out-either a too-trusting guy was majorly ripped off by someone he thought was one of his closest friends/allies in the foreign land he works in, or this poor interpreter actually was such a close...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    To be honest I forgot they were in Korea, but if they had been in the states would it not be a thing for the Dodgers to ask Ohtani if he wanted to press charges and if he did, call the police? If Ippei made a beeline for the door I'm not saying tackle him but like, the guy confessed to anyone...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    No I understand that but they generally have a security office of some sort, no?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I heard that too but like, how does a guy who the Dodgers think stole millions from their star get away? Didn't they say he confessed to bilking Ohtani of millions to the Dodgers?? They have their own security right, how did security not then bring in the authorities?

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    But they would have to know a major news outlet reporting this false statement would quickly lead to more questions than it answered.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I understood it was "people in his camp" who produced the interpreter for the interview and verified his nonsense story, then when Ohtani's lawyers heard what they were up to they were like oh hell to the no.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    So you think the biggest sports figure in Japan doesn’t have a gaggle of people working for him in some capacity who also speak English? You don’t supposed anyone else close to Ohtani would read that interview and go holy smokes I gotta call him and ask wtf he’s doing paying his interpreter’s...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Common sense is really what it comes down to. The interpreter gave a freaking interview to espn with the cockamamie “I am a bad gambler and my hero Shohei paid my millions of dollars in debt and made me promise I’d never do it again” story they cooked up and thought that would cover their bases...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Post #55 in this thread is someone in Japan who states several of their pro-baseball players have gotten into trouble for gambling, it's not like it's just an American thing. That they're trying to pin this on the interpreter is gross.

    Ditto. The sight of Kraft on my tv during games is going to make me nauseous knowing he orchestrated this hit piece.

    Agreed, and also never says “I never spoke to that reporter at the Kentucky Derrby and certainly never made such vile comments to her.” What a piece of shit this guy continues to be.

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    yea that's why I think he was maybe hoodwinked about this documentary. Like us I think maybe he assumed it would be a deep dive into the football aspect of the dynasty and I'm sure he would've waxed poetic about plays and schemes and games and players, but he clearly wasn't down for deep dives...

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Because of how much weight the episode gave to "he wanted to move so he could be a good person and not murder people but BB wouldn't trade him" it is entirely put on Bill's shoulders that Aaron had to stay here and HAD to hang out his bad friends even though everyone knows he was a bad person in...

    That was then: Celebrating what was

    I've worked for same firm for 23 years but for my attorney for 17 of those and yea he irritates the heck out of me sometimes but for the most part I love working for him, knowing his quirks and how he likes things makes it much easier. The thought of starting over somewhere and having to learn...
