    cals reacted to jsnpritchett in Ippei fired by Dodgers after being accused of theft by Ohtani’s attorney’s   
    Excerpt:
    “He was stealing money from my bank account…he was lying to everyone,” Ohtani said in Japanese, later adding, “I of course have never had anything to do with sports betting and I absolutely have never sent money to a bookmaker. Honestly, I don’t think shock is the right word. I’ve spent the last week in something beyond that, which I can’t express in words. It’s hard to put that into words right now.”
    I can put it into several words.
    I am queasy with the notion that Mizuhara could mastermind a heist of at least $4.5 million without Ohtani or his accountants or his bankers or somebody noticing the money was missing.
    I am skeptical at the idea that any bookie would extend $4.5 million in credit to an ordinary gambler, and then collect that money without confirming its source to ensure that the money was not being stolen.
    Above all, I am incredulous at the notion Mizuhara could give a completely plausible Ohtani-approved explanation of the payments in one interview, then, seemingly hours later, be called a liar and accused of theft by the same Ohtani representatives.
    It doesn’t add up. Furthermore, it’s amazing that Ohtani’s crisis management teams — some of the same people who represented the likes of Harvey Weinstein and Danny Masterson — would not have realized it doesn’t add up.
    By the way, why does Ohtani still employ agent Nez Balelo? If Ohtani truly felt he had been robbed by his interpreter and was truly unaware of the missing money, he should have already fired the guy who is paid to protect him, no? Hmmm.
    Somebody is lying somewhere. Somebody is hiding something. I don’t know who is doing what, and I’m surely not alone."

    Yeah but Taylor has a lot of random men’s phone numbers on his phone so this doesn’t  necessarily mean anything.

    I'm not buying for an instant that Ippei took $4.5M out of Shohei's bank account without him knowing. In order for that to happen:
    1. Ohtani would have had to set up his account so that Ippei was an authorized user, which makes no sense.
    2. Alternately, Ippei would have had to somehow get the password for Ohtani's online account. Even presuming that this happened, most banks will alert the account holder through text and/or email of any large transactions involving his or her account. I also can't buy that Ippei took out $500K nine or ten times without Ohtani's knowledge. Possibly after the first transfer and definitely after the second one, the bank would have directly called Ohtani and said hey, we have noticed very large transactions on your account. Were they yours?
    Knowing how banks work, those funds would not have been released without direct approval from Ohtani.

    A good interpreter can remember a good 30 seconds or so of speaking and then translate it word for word.  Some take notes and can do it for longer than 30 seconds.  This guy was summarizing.  That's what a layperson who speaks both languages typically does.  In this situation he needed an actual certified interpreter.  Not the dude with a Japanese mom who gets sushi twice a week.
