NAGOYA -- A former secretary-general of the in-house health insurance system for Shikishima Baking Company has admitted he pocketed some 1.9 billion yen from its accounts and gave most of the money to his 17 lovers.
Masaaki Matsubayashi, 56, from Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, made the confession during the first hearing of the case at the Nagoya District Court on Tuesday.
Prosecutors had originally indicted him for withdrawing 979 million yen from the accounts of the insurance system from December 2000 to May this year.
But they added that he started pocketing insurance money from around 1990. The total amount of his misappropriated funds amounted to 1.9 billion yen.
Prosecutors quoted Matsubayashi as saying that he had regarded members of the system as "sponsors who paid money for his lovers."...more...

'Lovers'?

When you pay for them, they're called 'prostitutes'.

Wow! I wouldn't want to see his daily schedule. :P

But hey let's speculate:

7:30 leave the wife and kids for another arduous day at the office.
8:00 arrive at work and 'withdraw' one million yen for important something or other business expenses.
8:30 Meet tart number one getting off work from the soapland.
9:00 Go to the doctor to pick up new prescription for viagara
9:30 Return to work, discuss pies with two of the secretaries.
10:00 Meet breadmaker to discuss future investments
10:30 .....

They had to be lovers. Hookers would have been a whole lot cheaper. Unless, of course, he's been using a high class escort service.

Here's quite a few details on the story...
Japan's 'Cashanova' showers 17 lovers with hot money
Mainichi

At first glance, balding, pudgy, bespectacled accountant Masaaki Matsubayashi hardly seemed a ladies man, but the 17 mistresses he accumulated over the past decade and a half told a different story, according to Shukan Jitsuwa (10/27).

It seems the little Lothario who operated the in-house health insurance system for Shikishima Baking Company had the kind of huge bulge in his pants that many women find the sexiest thing of all -- a packed wallet.

Matsubayashi's yen for new women and their willingness to pop up and take his yen from him allowed the accountant to become a "Cashanova," a wildly successful lover who has to pay for the status.

Shukan Jitsuwa (10/27)Unfortunately for the Aichi adulterer, though, all the money he was flashing around on floozies -- 1.9 billion yen, cops say -- wasn't his. In fact, he told the Nagoya District Court earlier this month that he had embezzled the whole lot from his company....more...
