having no knowledge of the law is not an excuse unless you are Donald Trump

It certainly doesn't make him innocent, but I do believe a lack of knowledge of the law could have believably lead him to do such a thing in the first place. It's not an argument that he shouldn't face punishment, it's an argument that... Yeah, it's possible he really did just pay the debt and do it in a way he didn't know was illegal.

I don't think anybody is saying he did nothing wrong. The debate appears to be moreso... Did he just pay the interpreter's debt, or was he the one actually gambling? Him being ignorant of the law makes the former credible.

this isn't a serious crime and intent definitely matters. there definitely won't be charges for ohtani unless something else comes out

donald trump is a traitor and tried to overthrow the government, this isn't remotely comparable

Uhh...I never said it was? I was asking why people thought that ohtani was the one doing the betting when nothing suggests that he was

for paying off someone's debt? rose being banned from the hall of fame is shameful to baseball as is bonds and clemens not getting in. this would be an entirely new level of shame.

It looks like Ohtani had no knowledge about anything. And the gambling interpreter didnt even bet on baseball Why are people saying Ohtani should be banned?

Why did the interpreter have access to his accounts?

Isn't that what accountants are for, and you can' t get the bank information in Japanese?

No bookie would take on 4.5 mil in bets unless he knew the there was money to back it up. Where did the winnings go? There's gotta be a win if there is a total of 4.5mil debt.

The translator was not making anything close to 4.5mil.

Ohtani knew, Ohtani bet. If he bet on baseball in any capacity then he should be banned or baseball bring back Pete Rose and he's in the HOF.

But don't worry, baseball has already covered this up.

Maybe he gambled, maybe not, but his peeps sure as fuck did with illegal books. And he's full of shit to say he knew nothing about $4.5 mil of his liquid being moved around. Not a chance he knows nothing.

That timing was odd. My older brother gets SI still. Anyhow he definitely knew something happened. I'd be sure I would know if hell 4.5K of my money moved around.
