For those not familiar, Shohei Ohtani's bank accounts sent an illegal bookie millions of dollars.  Shohei Ohtani is blaming his interpreter.  What do people think?   Here are a couple of articles to get people up to speed.

It's hard not to believe that Ohtani was making bets through the interpreter.

I tend to agree with the comments posted that Ohtani is the guilty party.  That said, I don't know how helpless these players are in counting on their interpreters to communicate and know what is going on.

I have my suspicions, but I am going to wait until I have more concrete information before jumping to any conclusions. We're still in a pretty early phase of this investigation.
