The Interpreter, The Gambler and The Thief
It sounds like a Bob Dylan story song or a title for a hollywood blockbuster. Plot twist, they were all the same guy.
I can't wrap my head around this story of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter. Originally it was reported that Ohtani's interpreter had stolen 4M from him to cover gambling debt, but the US attorney's office announced he stole more than 16M from Ohtani. He could face up to 30 years in prison. Damn gambling addiction is no joke. I still find it hard to believe Ohtani didn't have any idea what was going on but that's what the US attorney's office is saying.
Speaking of baseball. The week has flown by and despite only half the action for the week having been completed thus far, the @MLBofficialscorer will be opening up week 3 pick later today.
We still have a couple weeks until the NFL draft. Is anyone interested in doing a stacker sports live chat during the first round?
You have until Sunday before game time 1pm est to get your pick in for round 1 of the NBA Playoff Survivor Pool. Don't forget it's a survivor pool so you may want to use a team that could go all the way in the last game of the season.
I joined a Masters pool on Nostr. I know very little about golf. In fact, I had my buddy who is an avid golfer and PGA to make my picks for me. I think SN is such a better and easier way to conduct a pool than nostr but nostr does solve the issue of potential legal hot water if the SN powers that be ever crack down on pools with a buy in. I haven't been running pools with buy-ins because I don't want to poke the bear but definitely this years NFL Survivor Pool will have a buy-in. I am thinking 20k sats this year but we are months away from that, so much time to discuss.
Sats for all,
