Money runs the world. In this case, I could see MLB more or less turning a blind eye by doing a half assed "investigation", while Ohtani understands it's easier to just pay off his interpreter to keep him quiet and everyone is just happy to keep it that way. How does the guy get access to Ohtani's bank account? And logically that implies Ohtani is somewhat involved and should be investigated further. There are a select number of people involved so I could totally see everyone knowing their roles and knowing what the best course of action to take to keep the money rolling in, interpreter included. Do a little time and get paid a couple mil in hand and just don't bother being around again.
