...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.
(Edit: I misread the terminology and interpreted the sentencing as meaning Naka would still be serving prison time instead of basically just having some time commuted. I've amended the relevant bullet point accordingly; see more info below past the strikethrough text. My apologies for the mistake!)
A few additional remarks you probably won't find on any western coverage of this development since they'll probably either just be leaning on what people like GSK (who's done great as usual!) have to share or straight up using Google Translate because... sigh:

This was pretty much a foregone conclusion the moment it went to trial. People often harp about the Japanese court system's 99% conviction rate, and for good reason. There are shenanigans that tend to go on that make it infamously difficult for defense attorneys to win cases, but part of it is also because prosecutors pretty much only bring cases to trial that they feel are airtight, and this was definitely one with a lot of smoking guns.

All of that said, the other big part of this equation is that Japanese prosecutors are given much more discretion than those in, say, the US when it comes to deciding how far to pursue cases. One step they take interviewing not just people directly involved with a given incident, but also people within a defendant's wider social circle to get a better idea of their personal character, etc. For first time offenders, it's not unusual for them to decide to drop charges if they feel a given crime is otherwise out of character and that they're not likely to be a repeat offender, even in serious cases. It doesn't always happen, but it's not unheard of and it does contribute to Japan's low crime rates. (Which aren't perfect by any means, either, and should be taken with a grain of salt, I know.) My point is, that they not only took this to trial, itself unsurprising, but went as hard as they did on sentencing is telling of their findings during that preliminary process.

I'm no expert on cases like these, but the breakdown in figures I believe comes down to procedural matters. Unless I'm mistaken, based on what I'm reading in Japanese, Naka is going to be serving prison time. I assume the guy will try to appeal in the meantime given the financial and reputational damage, but yeah.Edit: I misinterpreted the semantics of the sentencing in my original post. (That's what I get for going out of my lane in terms of my knowledge of Japanese legal proceedings.) The ruling as it stands essentially means that if Naka commits no additional crimes for the next four years, he won't have to serve the 2.5 years he's been officially sentenced. He's still obviously on the hook for the fines themselves, though. Thanks to GSK for clearing that up!
The "up-side" to all this is those of us in Japan can, shall we say, editorialize a little more freely now that he's convicted. Libel laws here are no joke and if you heard people based in Japan be a little hesitant to joke around about all this when commentating on it, that's why.
Anyway, this has been my quarterly opportunity to actually use my degree for non-translation purposes, thank you all for listening.
