Re: [討論] 水原一平本人ESPN專訪內容

※ 引述《chargebro (七転八起 八七精神)》之銘言：
: 有熱心版友已經重點節錄，就幫補ESPN原文並簡略翻譯，自己翻的有錯再指正
: ------------------------------------------------------------------------
: The developments this week came as federal investigators are examining the
: operation run by Southern California bookmaker Mathew Bowyer. The
: wire-transfer payments were sent from Ohtani's account to an associate of
: Bowyer's, according to multiple sources and bank data reviewed by ESPN.
: Multiple sources, including Mizuhara, told ESPN that Ohtani does not gamble,: and that the funds covered Mizuhara's losses.
: 事情開始於FBI在南加州的一起地下賭場案，幾筆從大谷帳戶轉入到莊家帳戶。
: 消息來源跟水原一平本人皆否認大谷涉入賭博，這些匯款是為了還一平的債。

在 twitter 看到有人認為可能是這個聯邦法案，才由 FBI 調查:

https://twitter.com/dead_baseball/status/1770635727958642868

18 U.S. Code § 1084

Whoever... knowingly uses a wire communication... which entitles
the recipient to receive money or credit as a result of bets or
wagers... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than two years, or both.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Wire_Act

從維基百科的整理，目前美國司法部最新見解是他適用所有賭博，包含運彩投注
也就是你在不合法的州，轉帳給組頭下注就違反聯邦法。
另外 2022 IGT (一家線上賭場)在 Rhode Island District Court 提告，
法官判定這個法案只適用運動賽事，IGT不受此法案限制。

道奇可能也還不確定這筆錢用在哪，
但若是大谷轉帳後又被拿去下注就是罰款與兩年以下徒刑。
(另外不知道還賭債算不算 result of bets or wagers?)
因此才會改口說是被偷轉帳。
