Japanese and taking the fall for your boss?

It just seems totally insane that the interpreter would have had this level of access to Ohtani's money to do this. It seems far more likely that he was acting as an intermediary for Ohtani, and now he's taking the fall. At the very, very least, it seems like it was Ohtani trying to help cover the guy's losses, and wiring money to the criminal bookie, which is also illegal.

Seriously - why would the Interpreter have access to millions of dollars of Ohtani's money?
