Conspiring with them or pressuring and intimidating them into assisting him in his schemes for his own benefit and to set up some convenient fall guys if he is caught?

Four secretaries! That is one of the first problems. This guy needed a huge amount of money just to pay his staff.

Do you think he could open his own car door?
Pick up his suit from the cleaners?
It’ll drag through the courts, in 3 years he will only pay the fine. Then get hired by an LDP friendly company board do do yet again nothing.

It is so common that they have pre-printed checklists now, just tick the boxes:
Suspended sentence: 6 months/ 1 year/ 2 years.
Reduction in salary: 3/6/12 months
Depth of bow required: 30/ 45/ 90 degree
Resignation required: Yes/ No/ temporary
Apology: by fax/ by letter/ on TV/ in the Diet
Useful expressions: misunderstanding/ was drunk/ don't recall/ my junior did it/
and my favourite Japanese verb - sorrimasen - lit. I'm not sorry!
