We Confronted the Female CEO Suspected of Spending 600 Million Yen of Company Money on Tips! A Sudden Shift from Defiance

“President A was tipping his ‘favorite’ TikToker as if he were lavishing money on a host. What’s more, the funds came from company money entrusted to him by the residents…”

“Company X,” a corporation headquartered in Osaka City that operates approximately 50 nursing homes and facilities for people with disabilities in Osaka and Kyoto Prefectures, among other locations. A former employee of the company spoke to a FRIDAY reporter, his voice trembling with anger.

Misusing Company Funds as He Pleased

In June of this year, FRIDAY obtained audio recordings of Company X employees confronting President A regarding a series of embezzlement allegations. The following is an excerpt.

——There’s a video showing A tipping “Kekki-mono” using an account under the name “Sappon.”

“It’s true that I was a tipper. (Omitted) I was managing four accounts, including ‘Sappon.’ But I don’t use them anymore.”

——How much did you spend in total (on “Keikishi”)?

“About 600 million, I guess… (omitted) The fact remains that I spent company money as I pleased.”

Is the embezzlement true? How does he plan to repay the money he himself admits to having “misappropriated”? FRIDAY confronted Mr. A directly over the phone.

——We’ve heard that you, Mr. A, sent 600 million yen in tips to “Keikishi” using the account “Tono no Sappon.”

“Huh? I don’t know anything about that. Who told you that?”

—I’ve heard that “Toppon” is you, Mr. A.

“It’s kind of creepy to get a sudden phone call and be told something like that.”

—Is it true that the 600 million yen you sent to “Kekki-mono” was company money?

“I have absolutely no knowledge of that.”

——You don’t use TikTok, and you’ve never used the account “Tono no Sappon,” have you?

“No.”

We also sent a written inquiry to Company X, but received no response by the deadline. According to the aforementioned former employee of Company X, “Legal action against A is being considered.”

An unprecedented “tip-giving” scandal has erupted at a company that is supposed to support the elderly and people with disabilities. Shouldn’t Mr. A have prioritized putting a smile on the faces of users and employees over his favorite idol?
