Maybe. Im still not convinced. But…..
I am told that the Feds have voice recordings of the interpitor from the bank impersonating Ohrani to get the money transfers approved.
What does that fundamentally change? It’s not like most of the guys who cheat with PEDs get it directly. It’s some trainer as middle man.
Theoretically, if you believe Ippei was placing wagers for him, he’d almost certainly also be the one paying them. Especially with Shohei having issues with English.
Something is off. That a bank would just take a phone call where they ship off half a million suggests some type of arrangement approved of by Ohtani. It’s not like anyone could fake an accent and give his mothers maiden name and ship $500k to some random American.
Feels like where a technically would come into play. I technically did call and convince them to send the money, but he was sitting right next to me. Ohtani had to be part of it at some point. I can believe he stole from him somewhere down the road. But that’s not where it began, which is the only relevant thing to did Ohtani have a gambling problem? No one cares if Ippei had a worse one. No one gives a fuck if that dude goes to jail.
I have to quit posting on my phone. These idiotic emojis
