Do you have a text message sound and a sound for each individual touch on the keyboard too you sick gently caress?

yeah how much longer would this have gone unnoticed if he'd been placing bets with a legal sportsbook instead of some illegal orang county bookie?

what are the odds that Ippei was placing proxy bets for Ohtani and it's Ohtani with the gambling addiction who's now hanging him out to dry??

They mentioned on MLB Network that Ohtani can't go outside cause of Ohtanimania so he would need something to do.

He is a noted tax evader, convicted in the Court of SomethingAwful Law, so a finance crime would fit the bill

Why would a translator have access to that money? Even the closest friend in the world I have doesn't have access to my bank account.

Yeah uhhhh how does Ippei have access to that money and how would he loot it without Ohtani noticing for long enough the feds worked it out? And it’s part of an investigation of illicit sportsbooks involving ex-pro ballplayers? Uhhhhhhhhh…

they deferred the money by just handing it to Ippei instead

What in the goddamn. Why does Ohtani's interpreter have access to pull that much out of his bank accounts???

Gorman Thomas

ESPN has quotes from Ippei on Tuesday

Ippei asked Ohtani to pay off his debts last year
Ohtani agreed on the condition that he stop
Ohtani paid off the debts himself, on his own computer (very stupid of Ippei to say this to the media)
Ippei never bet on baseball

Also Ippei has walked everything back today and said Ohtani didn't know about the gambling, debts, or repayment. Probably because he doesn't have legal representation and realized talking to the media was very foolish.
