First, let’s clear up one point: the ¥2.1 billion figure is an estimate based on what the police calculated, but the true amount likely exceeds that figure. As I’ve observed, and based on past calculations, [R] may have actually squandered closer to ¥3 billion.
For example, [R] likely spent at least ¥10 million a month on dining, nightlife, and other indulgences. That’s about ¥120 million a year, or ¥360 million over three years. Beyond that, he handed out substantial pocket money to his sons, his wife, and even hostesses, draining funds as if they were limitless.
The Korean Entertainment “Project”
[R] also started an “entertainment” venture in Korea, partnering with a so-called “savvy producer” who was paid ¥1 million every week, plus hundreds of thousands in monthly expenses. While I haven’t traced every transaction, a thorough audit of the funds sent to the Korean entertainment industry would reveal an outrageous sum. I repeatedly warned [R] about the taxes involved, but there’s no record of any being paid. Frankly, he’s astonishingly irresponsible.
Real Estate Purchases
[R] hired private jets for his trips to Europe, engaging in a level of extravagance I could hardly imagine. In private, he even bought real estate he’d never live in, spending nearly ¥100 million—supposedly for two individuals close to him. The story behind this purchase is chilling, and one day, if I can muster the courage, I may share it. It’s a tale more shocking than most could imagine.
Offices Scattered Across the Globe
[R] set up a mysterious company in Singapore, sending ¥25 million monthly, and created a new office in London’s Hilton, hiring and firing employees at will, with monthly expenses nearing ¥100 million.
There were accounting teams in Singapore, London, and Japan, all managing the same financial data for an online gaming company. Astonishingly, each team did the same work, with the data from Singapore and Japan discarded, keeping only London’s version. Why were there three redundant accounting teams, each costing millions per month? Simply put, it was a facade, likely to obscure embezzlement.
Where’s the Remaining Cash?
I’d like to think that the ¥2.1 billion might still exist somewhere, either as cash or cryptocurrency. But unfortunately, I don’t have it, and I doubt [R] does either. Some may believe he has hidden assets, but after witnessing his reckless spending, I suspect he intended to burn through it all while he could. In fact, he’s nearly at an age that, in Japan, qualifies as “late elderly.”
So, neither I nor [R] have any remaining cash or crypto assets. All that’s left is a mountain of debt.
Those who think that getting a suspended sentence has left me rich couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m facing immense hardship.
Now, here in Japan, I’ve been left to bear the brunt of the debt collection. This is largely due to my own inadequacy, and it’s caused trouble for my family and close friends.
