Guarantee the interpreter takes the fall. MLB has no reason to really dig into it either, the dude is too big to fail

Guarantee the interpreter takes the fall. No doubt. Smoking gun is it was reported that the $4 mill to pay off the bookie came directly from Ohtani's account. Not sure why an interpreter would ever have access to anything like that, so that's a problem. But, this guy is worth WAY too much to major league baseball for any significant punishment to brought on.

Draft him wherever hes supposed to be drafted. Nothing will happen to him.

Baseball will sweep this away very quickly. This is clearly Ohtani gambling. The league has too much invested in him to ban him. The Dodgers (and Yankees) control the league office.

Not sure if I’m buying Ohtani gambling to the point of owing $4.5 million to a bookie. I think his interpreter and best friend did, and Ohtani paid off his debt. Then paid him to take the fall when they got caught. But we’ll never know for sure. He’s not getting in any trouble.

Still, I have a difficult time believing any gambling enterprise would take bets totalling in the millions of dollars on the security of "i'm an interpreter". I also have trouble believing the interpreter has access to Ohtani's accounts, those who are paid to manage the acct's didn't notice and Ohtani keeps millions invested in cash. It's easier to believe the Dodgers din't give a shit about a 3/4 billion dollar investment and didn't give legal advice preventing conflicting stories that don't make sense.

Gotta love the "he'll put out a statement to the press, take no questions, and we dont wanna hear about it going further."
Solid strategy

Chris Russo was talking about this yesterday ...ESPN has been trying to find the report of stolen money for 9+ days throughout southern California law enforcement agencies...nothing.
His interpreter is assumed to be back in Japan. If that money was really reported stolen by his interpreter his passport would have been flagged before he was allowed on a plane.
Too much smoke for there not to be some sort of fire here.

That's one reason the "explanation" is fluid. Each story has problems not easily overcome. If the money was stolen, he would have been arrested and booked. I don't know Cal law, but even if Ohtani decides not to file charges the interpreter could still be in legal hot water. It also allows the state to take his passport and keep him local until the matter is resolved. If it was a loan, he would have to file federal paperwork for that amount of money.
As of now (public information), all roads lead to Ohtani. There may yet be something that clears him but so far no one has presented it.

The new twist on this is that the interpreter changed the settings on Ohtani’s bank account so that he wouldn’t get notifications when there was a transaction. Give me a break, lmao. You don’t notice $5 million missing from your bank account?

He's gotta log into his Wells Fargo account every once in a while and be like"damn look at all dis money!!!!!"

Either way, I don't know either of these people, how stupid or not stupid they are, their personalities. So many different people in the world.

Send Othani to Gitmo. Waterboard him until the truth comes out. Then keep him there indefinitely.
This baseball crime is millions of times worse than Pete Rose. I'm pissed off that MLB isn't all over this.
Fuck MLB. I just canceled NESN360, Red Sox MLB package. Now I have two reasons to hate baseball: Othani scandal and Red Sox Owner, John Henry.
