College Girl Accused by GaaSyy for “Robbing 400 million yen” Strikes Back

On September 13, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigation Division 3 arrested three men on suspicion of theft and other crimes for breaking into an apartment in Suginami Ward, Tokyo, around 1 p.m. on December 29 last year and stealing about 20 million yen in cash, 26 gold bars (worth about 150 million yen in total), 8 watches (worth about 16 million yen in total), and other items worth about 190 million yen.  

Mimika Sekiguchi, 23, aka “Mimitan,” was informed of the news by a friend.

“After it was reported on TV, I immediately received many calls,” she said. “I heard things like, ‘Mimitan wasn’t the culprit,’ and ‘GaaSyy, who said Mimitan was the mastermind behind the incident, is a big liar.’”

“I had always insisted on my innocence, but everyone was skeptical. But even I had forgotten about it. When I got the call, I thought, ‘Oh, that happened to me.’”

Mimitan is an active university student, but she is also an entrepreneur and influencer. By chance, she got involved with Motoki Masaoka, the brain behind Yoshikazu Higashitani, 51, aka GaaSyy, who gained explosive popularity as an exposé-style YouTube star. Mimitan lived with GaaSyy and his crew in Dubai for a time. However, as reported in Friday Digital, as soon as she broke up with Mr. Masaoka, she was falsely accused of being a “400 million yen robber” by GaaSyy himself and his gang using YouTube and social networking services.

 

“This proves that the LINE exchange that GaaSyy and others posted as proof that I was the mastermind behind the robbery was a fabrication. They claimed that the damage was 400 million yen, but according to media reports, the damage was less than 200 million yen, so the 400 million yen figure was also a lie. They said something like, ‘There is 200 million yen worth of virtual currency in the USB flash drive,’ but I don’t know.”
