I do have a hard time buying the picture painted here of Ohtani as a childishly naive guy who doesn't know English and thus can't know anything that goes on and completely reliant on Issei. I posted a video of him speaking English just fine earlier in the thread. If I was him I would also use an interpreter to keep my statements perfect, but he definitely and demonstrably speaks the language on the rare occasion he wants to do so.

I'm not sure that the issue was really a lack of understanding English as it was putting so much trust in someone to manage his finances. Unfortunately, he is far from the first person, athlete or otherwise, who was apparently ripped off by someone he trusted without doing any real oversight of his accounts on his own.
