...has been given a 2.5-year prison sentence (4-year suspended sentence) and fines of ~¥2M & ~¥170M: https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/ae4594bde057d5bae67446353fe97d809d5aea04 🇯🇵
ICYMI, he was on trial for insider trading relating to shares purchased for certain mobile games during his time at Square-Enix, which he admitted to during the trial; his defence argued that he should get a lighter sentence due to it being a crime of opportunity rather than a pre-meditated act (there was a secretarial screw-up that saw him accidentally sent insider info; what was he gonna do, not commit crimes?), but apparently Naka didn't come across as particularly sympathetic or remorseful, and the fines handed down today are more or less the numbers requested by prosecution, with the suspended sentence being a "you didn't pretend you didn't do it so we'll go easy on you" reprieve that many predicted beforehand.
