The lawyer, business manager, agent, bank are the safeguards. If the account holder instructs a bank that a fiduciary can handle their money then the bank relies on that instruction.
Mechanics of wiring money can be as simple as the bank follows up on an online request to move money by calling the number associated with the account and speaking with the person who answers in a recorded call. They call the number associated with the account.
These are big sums of money in one sense but not compared to, say, an escrow agent who closes housing sales in Orange County all day. I am not up to speed and have no opinion on this case but in general it's not beyond the realm of belief.

xps to Shasta his role was more of a personal assistant than an interpreter. There was an article about interpreters last year and I remembered this because the article commented on how unusual his role was:https://theathletic.com/4581805/2023/06/06/mlb-interpreters-shohei-ohtani/?source=user_shared_article
Mizuhara also trains with Ohtani. He’s caught his bullpens at times, and served as Ohtani’s catcher in the Home Run Derby. He said part of his job is helping Ohtani minimize distractions and balance his offseason schedule of marketing and endorsements.“I’m with him all offseason too,” Mizuhara said. “I’m with him 365 days of the year, which I think is different than the other interpreters.” Mizuhara and Ohtani even worked out together on Christmas.While the work schedule isn’t that demanding for other interpreters, it is still a significant enough commitment that lack of personal time is the clear number-one drawback.

did Ippei deserve to go to "arbitration" because LAA was only paying him $85k/year and he felt he was worth $4.5M...? LAA was paying Ippei 2.5x minimum wage for being the gopher/best friend/personal assistant/low-key financial manager (TIL this is what translators do!)
It's funny you mention that. People forget that minimum hourly wage in California is $16-$19+ depending on the locality (and going up to $20 for fast food workers in SF).
The minimum legal salary for an exempt full-time worker in California is generally double the state minimum wage for a forty-hour week with no vacation. If a person is truly never off the clock and has their work tightly controlled, then conceivably they are not even an exempt employee and entitled to overtime and doubletime.
The salary is pretty low. Don't know if translators are in a union but would be interesting to consider the potential wage claim, class action claims, etc.

fwiw the first time I did a wire transfer at Schwab (a small amount, a few hundred iirc) I got a phone call from a human after I hit submit on the website and they asked me a bunch of security questions.
the second time I did a wire transfer at Schwab it was the down payment for my house, which was low six figures, so not millions but not nothing, and 99% of the balance of the account, and I did not get a phone call.

this is a great point. there is a 300% chance that shohei has a special private banker assigned at all of his banks and a 500% chance that he is not the only one holding the keys.

these bankers specialize in being obsequious, high-touch, fawning, acrobatic in their contortions to be of service - it's quite disgusting to see. quite easy for me to believe that they'd wave through a couple of $500k wires for somebody like ohtani, who most certainly isn't even on their top-tier list of clients. $500k is on the low end of the kinds of wires they clear in a day: https://archive.ph/FU6ie

Are there any kind of safeguards in place that would alert you or require you to confirm movements of large amounts of money? Like have you ever been asked to authorise a large one-off payment to a new account? I’m honestly surprised if that’s not the case.
when any payment needs to be made an email goes out to both my manager (not biz manager, different role) and myself requesting authorization to pay. they could certainly go rogue at some point but it would be pretty short-sighted, because you don't carry more balance than you need in the biz account -- in our case, enough to pay for a tour to get started. the function of the biz account is to have a place where payments flow into and from which to pay anybody who needs to get paid. there's full accounting on all money that goes in and out. but it's not like a big reserve of money, keeping more-than-needed-for-specific-purposes money in a business account seems like a bad idea.

it's not really the job of the private banker to monitor their client's activity if the instructions are coming from a known source. my point about ohtani having a private banker was building on felicity's point - ohtani's bankers most certainly know who is capable of acting as ohtani's fiduciary. a private banker's #1 job is to not be annoying to her client (which might (i) make that client less likely to part with their money for the bespoke investment products she wants to sell them and (ii) may even cause the client to jump to another bank who is willing to kiss even more ass). $500k is a month or two of post-tax paychecks for ohtani based on his last year's salary - not to mention endorsement money - it's really not that much.
the question for me moves to - did ippei then have the keys to the kingdom? reporting suggests that they had the relationship where that could be the case, i just don't know. but it's easy for me to imagine that ippei is present at all of ohtani's meetings with his bankers and, if they really were bff, that ippei was known to his bankers to have fiduciary authorization.
the part of the bank that actually monitors unusual activity is the compliance/AML department, which is universally hated by all the other parts of the banks that deal with clients for being red tape and deal-stoppers. since the money here was just going to another US account and not to say a bank account in iran i'm not sure it raised any red flags for them.

Back to gyac's insuation that ESPN (and the LA Times based on their article today) is still harboring a neutral-angle in their reportage:
Both media accounts have access to Bowyer's wire data and can see if Ippei is curiously absent from the list of individuals that Bowyer and his associates were connected to financially.
WaPo also did a deep-dive into Bowyer and he is a real piece of work, a child of a Long Beach Fire Department employee, they called him a high-end Baccarat (! lol) player who is banned from seemingly half of Vegas casinos, divorced (once? twice?) dad of four with 2 bankrupcies on file. Lives in a sprawling orange county luxury mcmansion (that was raided by federal agents) tucked between the hills and the ocean. He runs a BJJ studio called (don't laugh) RYSK.

I wasn’t really insinuating, just saying based on the questions put out in the article that ESPN themselves may be. I have zero knowledge of the banking & various protocols to be able to know if the article is insinuating that Ohtani’s people may not have made a report to a relevant agency, or if it’s common practice for an agency to not confirm whether they’re investigating on the basis of a person’s request to journalists. Personally I would be surprised if they did.Anyway Passan tweeted out a link to this piece:
Other players have interpreters, but only Ohtani had an interpreter who worked as a trainer and a coach and a valet and a best friend and a bellman in addition to translating his interactions with the media.

That, and everything else, was left to Ohtani and his ever-present confidant. "Interpreter" was never an adequate word to describe Mizuhara, who toted Ohtani's training tools and to-the-second workout schedule in the backpack. Ohtani's rhythms were Mizuhara's rhythms. They occupied the same locker, ate at the same table in the players' lounge, sat on the same five feet of bench in every dugout. Until Ohtani got his driver's license last season, Mizuhara drove the two of them to the ballpark every day. Nobody knew if they lived together, but his Angels teammates assumed they did. From the outside, it appeared that Mizuhara cleared away every menial task and potential obstacle; the great one would worry only about his game. Mizuhara's constant presence was proof of Ohtani's singular genius, so much so that it is jarring to see him, now, walk alone.
