Also, originally Ohtani's camp admits to transferring money to help the interpreter cover gambling debts only to then come back hours later and change their story by claiming it was theft and they knew nothing about the debt.
Where there's smoke there's usually fire. I wouldn't be surprised if Ohtani's tied up in gambling as well.
That's the problem I have with it too.
His camp admitted to Ohtani making the payments himself to cover the debts.
And the interpreter said all this an interview with ESPN on Tuesday, not in some random ass statement on social media.
You telling me Ohtani or his team didn't give him the green light to do the interview and say those things?
I think someone from the Dodgers saw what was the interview and quickly relayed to Ohtani and his team that being associated with this ordeal was a terrible look and they needed to disassociate from it altogether and that's when they made the interpreter the fall guy.
There's no way he would have been given permission to do that interview if there wasn't some truth to it.
