We can always count on Reiner, Clinton and Senile Riot to come through in the clutch.
And in another corner of our world...
The Ohtani --- Los Angeles Dodger baseball player whose accounts were embezzled by his interpreter, Mizuhara, to the tune of $16-17,000,000 --- pot continues to boil.
"Ex-Ohtani interpreter ordered to get gambling addiction treatment." (Headline 04/13/24).
Why? Is there a problem with jailed felons who can continue to gamble behind bars?
Are they concerned about the integrity of the prison softball games?
Are they shaving points in stir pick-up games?
Are the first two people he meets when he goes to jail going to be the producers of "Spring Time For Hitler"?

Ohtani, to Mizuhara (payday instructions, in Japanese):
"Deposit $8 million in my account and $50,000 in yours. I must now go back to stadium. "
Mizuhara, to Ohtani: "Yes. I later see you in dugout."
Ten minutes later, at the bank...
Mizuhara, to bank teller:
"Good afternoon. Why you wearing Pete Rose baseball cap? Here is check. Mr. Ohtani would like $50,000 deposited in his account, and the other $8 million becomes a check made out to 'Cash.' "
Teller (Wearing a wire):
"This is Los Angeles. There is nothing at all suspicious about your routine request."
Teller: Winks.

The 経済的安定* Solution? (04/19/24)
There's only one long-term solution to this mess.
Since Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are both paid trillions of dollars not to learn English, let's assume that neither one has a motive to steal.
Barring any discernible indications of reciprocal kleptomania, assign Shohei to balance Yamamoto's checkbooks. Yoshinobu in return can keep Ohtani's W-2s in order.
In fact, to ensure perfect financial security, I propose that they get married.
Then they can have fights about their finances just like the rest of us.
*Japanese, for "financial security." Or so they say.
