Revamped article

See this revision.

I've placed a lot of inline citations, but they're not extraneous; Kashiwagi was secretive, so media reports are scarce; and as a casino customer, he was given full privacy, so quite a few of the reports are based on casino owners' words (mostly off-the-record). There's also a relative amount of telephone game and distortion, as outlets quote each other, with "according to X person" turning into "reportedly", and then turning into fact stated in the writer's voice. That's why there are so many inline citations: to easily see which news article supports which facts. Please don't try to group these citations together, or it'll just be harder to track down where each claim originated.

In places where news reports disagreed on numbers or facts, I picked what seemed like the most reliable claims. I would recommend against changing numbers and figures based on FUTON sources (like the Politico piece) unless you have access to all the other articles, and can make that same judgment for yourself!

Full disclosure, I used GPT-3 to help copyedit the draft, and, as an experiment, also let GPT-3 write the lead (which I reviewed and revised; I didn't keep it as-is). DFlhb (talk) 12:03, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
