Ohtanis translator fired for stealing

[visualplane]

Maybe he can play his way out of this.

I wouldn't worry about this. It's already the third story which is basically backpage news.

Terrorists, who hippies (insert other adjective as you wish) made us forgot existed over the past two decades just murdered 100s across the pond.

Diddy as it turns out is a POS scumbag along with 99.9% of his music genre (which should be banned but it's "aaaaaart")

Sho will be okay and that's okay with me

Sure…espn is in on the fix

He’s too important to too many wallets for this not to go away. Major outlets will carry his water.

Do we get a Topps Now from the press conference?

Yup …… if this is the story they’re going with …. Uh, uh, I mean the truth ………., I can definitely see a way for a potentially career threatening scandal being nothing more than a tough week for our favorite International Superstar

We could have a nice BO bbq turned jewelry shop with all the Ohtani investor diamonds from coals formed from this one.

What exactly did people expect? "Here is the closed circuit footage of Ippei stealing the money"?

[jjrpilot]

I mean, I didn't expect him to hold a press conference and say:

"Thank you all for meeting today, I unfortunately gambled and had my interpreter do it for me. Thank you for your time. God bless."

This was a nothing burger.

[theredmenace]

For this to be an actual scandal in Japan we'd need Ippei to be a moonie

Him and the guy talking for him to both know what the pre-written statement said. Definitely would've been a good start.

I second this notion.

Ippei may be in for a rough time the rest of his life. So much of Japanese culture is honor and integrity. That said, still struggling with this story as he almost certainly got the money to pay off the debts from Shohei.

[cbeauch87]

People are acting like professional athletes have never been taken advantage of by people close to them. Kevin Garnet had 77 MILLION stolen from him by his financial advisor and he had no idea.

[Fenway55]

I sure hope he's telling the truth because it is going to be very easy for the authorities investigating a $4.5 million theft to go to the financial institution and simply ask them upon whose authority the transfers were made.

[Absknicks]

This is 10x worse than Ryan Braun throwing that lab worker under the bus.

[anusinha]

Dang, They really tossed Ippei under the bus for this.

Or he goes back home and is a hero

Ippei jumped under the bus, and the bus is called You Reap What You Sow.

Shohei gets to reap what he has sown as well, which is a squeaky clean character.

Now move on, haters. Or get on the Shohei bus. That is, the GOAT bus. Still room to be had, but you've got to release your hate and regret that you didn't buy all the RCs you could've in 2020. Can yall do that?

It’s just going to make his WS title this year that much sweeter.

Sorry, but I don't believe a word he said (other than him not gambling) considering his camp's story changed from the beginning until now. I will believe Ippei robbed him when an investigative authority shows proof. Until then, it just appears he is doubling down on the story his crises communications spokesman came up with and will get burned by the cover up instead of that dude.

He can't read.
