For the second time tonight, nobody ever said $325M went missing from his account. That is a huge sum of bets for which Ohtani's bank account was the backer. There is a huge sum of money to not notice when his bank account is being used to pay it off whenever it's time to balance. This wasn't a single transfer that escaped his attention. It begs the question how he never noticed any of this going on for 26 months.
