在賭博事件爆發後 CBS訪問了賭博法專家Rose Nelson關於大谷可能遇到的麻罰
以下是他的看法
Which version of Mizuhara's story is true (or if neither is) could determine
Ohtani's culpability, Rose Nelson, an expert on gambling law and co-founder
of the California Council on Problem Gambling, told CBS Sports.
"There are so many potential crimes here, state and federal, and the big
dangers with violating the anti-gambling laws is they're all written to go
after organized crime, which means all the organized crime statutes can kick
in, like RICO and money laundering," said Nelson, who has served as a
government consultant to entities including the Arizona Department of Gaming,
the Delaware State Lottery, the Illinois Gaming Board, the Michigan State
Lottery and the New Mexico Gaming Control Board.
If Ohtani did knowingly wire the money to pay Mizuhara's debt, either to
Mizuhara or directly to the bookie, he could be considered complicit in
helping an illegal gambler collect, according to Nelson.
"In other words, he's helping the bookie collect the debt. It gets
extraordinarily bad if he knew any of this was going on and agreed to it,"
Nelson said.
All of this, again, would only be an option if Ohtani voluntarily handed over
the money, whether to Mizuhara or Bowyer, according to Nelson. If the money
was stolen, as Ohtani's lawyers alleged, he could not be considered an
accomplice.
"What I can't figure out is why the lawyers didn't tell everyone to just shut
up," Nelson told CBS Sports.
簡單說 如果是大谷匯款 不管是匯給水原還是組頭 都可能會因此被視作是共犯
尤其如果大谷知情還同意的話就會變得很糟糕
而賭博案將會牽涉到各種組織犯罪和洗錢等重大罪刑
反之 如果是大谷律師宣稱的錢被偷 那大谷就不會被當成共犯
最後Nelson也批評了事件律師團"為什麼不叫大家閉嘴"
