I don't see him throwing him under the bus. More like covering his own ass. He has $700M reasons to do so.Another interesting thing to think about, is supposedly anytime a huge transaction out of an account that big it gets flagged by the IRS
So.
-His bank never called him or his camp about it
-The federal government is investigating his translator and no one in Ohtani’s camp got a heads
-a bookie is giving out 4.5 million to a guy making 300k without Ohtani knowing about it somehow
-translator has a gambling problem but somehow is a mastermind criminal and scammed his friend out of money
-Ohtani is surrounded by a team, much like Russell Wilson. So it seems weird of the excuse is the guy is the only one to have access to his money
Dude already confessed on ESPN and just said Ohtani paid off the debts not gambled. It seems like that excuse should’ve been enough. Sure paying a bookie is federally illegal but he could have played the victim where his real crime was being a great guy. The way I keep hearing is basically Ohtani could’ve paid a fine to the government but now throwing his friend under the bus IMO just makes him look bad.
Other note I saw that was funny is that if the interpreter did steal the money (or says he did), he will actually owe taxes on the $4.5M he stole per the IRS agent.
