Date: March 26th, 2024 5:13 PM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena there is zero chance that ippei was the only person monitoring his bank account. either ohtani saw the wires and knew about them, or his financial advisors / agency would have flagged seven-figure wires to an illegal bookmaking operation / unexplained guidos. either way ippei couldn't press the wire button on his own.
and it wouldn't have been enough for ippei just to get ohtani to "sign something" to approve random-ass massive wires. if he has financial advisors i'm sure they are also japanese speakers and they could tell him that there were discrepancies / something was up with what ippei was having him sign. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 10:57 AM Author: plum ticket booth pozpig i wouldnt be surprised at all if ippei had authority over his bank account. ohtani has regular bills like anyone, cant read english and wouldnt want to bother with dealing with them. its common for interpreters to play a personal assistant role for players and ohtani being so close to ippei probably trusted him. japanese media reported that ippei had control over an account which ohtani had set aside for charitable endeavors.

Date: March 27th, 2024 11:28 AM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena ippei was at most a day-to-day manager but that doesn't mean he had control over shohei's finances as though he is a vegetable, shohei would have had to have confirmed transactions, or his finance people. and frankly i doubt that ippei was the sole manager even if he did serve in that capacity in any way, he's just a translator and at most a personal assistant. shohei probably has a small team of finance guys who are all over his accounts and managing his shit.
the change of story as sanctioned by shohei's legal team doesn't make sense. he's fucked.
i wonder if ippei was the one gambling on shohei's behalf and with his blessing but shohei didn't know the counterparty was an illegal bookmaker, or maybe ippei ended up placing bets on baseball without shohei knowing, and now he needs to distance himself. either way it's his name on the checks. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 11:37 AM Author: plum ticket booth pozpig the "change of story" totally makes sense when you realize "shohei's team" was getting all their information from ippei, who was just trying to save his own ass. shohei is not "fucked" and will be totally fine. no way he goes as hard as he did at the press conference if he was involved in any way. the conspiracy theories about this are getting ridiculous.

|
Date: March 27th, 2024 11:48 AM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena by the time the first interview was given, ohtani had already hired a crisis pr team and spokesperson, and was giving direct quotes to them. when the agent was first alerted to the payments it became a big deal and the whole ohtani side was coordinating to figure out how to present it. there's no way shohei wasn't fully in on the story the first time around.
the people making this argument either aren't fully aware of the timeline or are willfully ignorant ohtani simps who don't want to believe the worst. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 11:49 AM Author: plum ticket booth pozpig you're naive. "ohtani" didnt directly hire anyone and the quotes provided to these english speaking spokesmen were provided directly from ippei. they were fabricated. actually, more likely the pr firm drafted the quotes themselves and asked ippei to get shohei to sign off on them, which it seems he never did. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5508449&forum_id=2#47531723) |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 11:55 AM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena if ohtani truly wasn't aware that at least several million dollars had vanished from his accounts and allegedly went to illegal bookmakers, there's no way that he (or his agent) just hires a crisis pr team and says "just deal with it, don't bother me," and then gets involved only after ippei handles the whole story construction and interview.
you only hire a crisis pr team when you know there's a crisis, and if there's a perceived crisis there's no way shohei wasn't part of the conversation. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 12:00 PM Author: plum ticket booth pozpig per shohei, ippei was controlling all of the information. this makes sense, his lawyers, his pr, everyone is going to communicate in english through his interpreter. if all communications were running through ippei, and ippei actually stole the money from shohei, it jives that he would keep shohei in the dark, and shohei's story that he didnt know shit until after the game when ippei addressed the team adds up.
if shohei was truly involved, he is putting himself at great risk by directly accusing ippei of stealing from him, making police reports, cooperating with investigators, etc. the truth will come out in due course and i dont see how his lawyers would sign off on his response unless he was supremely confident he did nothing wrong here. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2024 12:30 PM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena if shohei truly didn't know millions of dollars of payments were going out (to a criminal enterprise) and was alerted by the reporter through his agent, that's when shit gets real and it's no longer a simple matter of ippei filtering the communications between shohei and everyone else. the fact that they hired a crisis pr team shows that shit got real. i can't envision them reaching that stage without shohei getting more directly involved and made aware of everything going on. at that point everything is happening in real time and it’s too much for ippei to be able to manipulate what gets through to shohei without cracks forming.

|
Date: March 27th, 2024 1:04 PM Author: erotic dilemma striped hyena my theory is that, once shohei started making $$$, ippei told shohei that he liked to gamble and could make him some $ (legally) doing so. shohei, being naive and a good bro, said sure and bankrolled his shit, with a handshake agreement in place that ippei would earn a performance fee on his winnings. shohei trusted ippei and let him do his shit without oversight, and assumed that it was all going through legal channels since gambling is so pervasive now.
ippei told his bookie that he was good for $$$ because shohei was behind it (and maybe shohei's name was on the checks at this point, but maybe not). and the bookie liked that he could say that shohei was a client. so the amounts were allowed to get out of hand. somewhere along the way shohei realizes that ippei is getting in way over his head and bails him out, and maybe the betting ends there. but by now shohei's name is for sure on checks to the bookie.
then the reporter comes along and shohei realizes that all the payments he was greenlighting were going to an illegal operation, with his name on some of the checks. at first he thinks he can get off easily enough by saying that it was ippei and not him doing the gambling, and that he was just bailing his bro out, which is kind of close to the truth in a real-world sense, but not in a legal sense. he thinks that he's in the clear as long as he says that it was ippei doing the gambling, not him.
then the lawyers step in and tell shohei that he's fucked since it was in his name (and maybe they came to realize that there was betting on baseball going on that hasn't come out yet), and they need a new story asap. they concoct a "theft" theory that says that shohei was being stolen from because ippei was not forthright about the counterparty and nature and magnitude of the gambling.
i don't necessarily think shohei was willfully or consciously up to anything nefarious but his name was on the checks so he'll be a victim of his own naivete and good nature and unfamiliarity with the law. |
